Steven Calcote on ‘Making It VRy Big’ (Podcast)
What does it take to make a 30 lbs cinnamon roll in VR?


Director Steven Calcote is a partner at Butcher Bird Studios and has created all kinds of projects for the likes of Legendary Entertainment, Sony Pictures, Disney, BBC America and more… but today we’re going to talk about Making It VRy Big, BuzzFeed’s giant-sized food show which he shot in the 180 VR format and which you can find on Meta Quest TV. The topics at hand include how to make a 180 VR video feel connected to the audience, and just what happens to a film set when a 30 lbs cinnamon roll is introduced.
