360/VR Journey to the Arctic | Greenpeace

Greenpeace has produced their first 360/VR experience, A Journey to the Arctic, that transports viewers to the pristine landscapes of the high North. The immersive quality of the video has been more successful than traditional video to deliver their message and get viewers to support their actions, that the Arctic must be protected from the looming threat of oil drilling and industrial fishing.

The video can be viewed through a VR headset for the full experience. The browser-based 360 version lets you click-and-drag to see the 360° view. Adobe software was used for 360/VR post-production along with Mettle 360/VR plugins SkyBox Studio and SkyBox 360/VR Tools.

A Journey to the Arctic | 360/VR | Greenpeace

We’re fighting an uphill battle to protect this last wilderness, and although we’ve won several important victories, we still have a long way to go. So far the results have been amazing, no matter where it is viewed in the world – in Sweden, Korea, New Zealand – when people take of the VR goggles – they have a profound understanding of why we fight so hard. No other medium can really achieve this deep level of connection.

“Anything you see in our video that’s not related to stitching or color grading is achieved by using Skybox Studio and SkyBox 360/VR Tools, (together with other tools). The plugins from Mettle fill a painful gap in the current VR workflow. Both for online use, and for content designed to be viewed in HMD’s, the ability to add logos, text and animation is important to us. Whether it’s for adding something quickly in Premiere, or working in After Effects, we would have a hard time delivering on budget and on time without Skybox.”
