How To Properly Use a VR Headset

Overview

For this school project, I created a retro-inspired video imagining what virtual reality would look like in the 1980s. Designed as an infomercial, the video combines humor and nostalgia to explain how to use a VR headset, blending vintage aesthetics with modern technology.

Process & Approach

I took on multiple roles for this project, including writing, directing, and shooting the video. I also storyboarded the entire concept and recorded a voiceover to match the quirky, infomercial style of the ’80s. After filming, I edited and color-graded the video to achieve the authentic, retro look I envisioned.
