I'm watching the beads of sweat pool on a sailor's face as he stares ominously around the inside of a creaking submarine, and then I'm immediately drawn in to the little details — like the flapping paper blowing near a vent and the flickering lights covered in metal in the hallway. Something bad is about to happen, and I'm feeling a mix of excitement and dread. And maybe a touch of virtual sea sickness.
I'm witnessing the potential dawn of a new era of filmmaking on the Apple Vision Pro with 'Sumberged,' which is the first scripted film captured in Apple Immersive Video. Written and directed by Edward Berger, who won an Oscar for 'All Quiet on the Western Front,' 'Submerged' tells the story of a World War II-era submarine and its crew as they deal with a devastating attack.
