Virtual Reality
In 2015 Peter was asked by the BBC Research and Development unit to explore story telling techniques in 360 Virtual Reality.
At that time 360 was in it's infancy and he created a series of 'experiences' that technically demonstrated ways of telling stories that went beyond just having shots that faded to black between scenes.
The films were shown at festivals and conferences around the world including Future Of Story Telling in New York, Prix Italia and the Independent Documentary Film Festival where his piece The Resistance of Honey was selected into competition.
Peter is an expert panelist and lecturer and has given talks about his work at Universities including: UCL , The Royal College of Art, Prix Italia, Zurich Documentary Campus.
