Ode is an immersive media experience which consists of a 47 part acapella rendition of an orchestra performing Ode to Joy. Filmed and recorded on a Sunday and a half, we composited student volunteers singing their different parts onto a 180 degree stereoscopic VR video. I recorded, mixed, and mastered the different parts to recreate this classic Beethoven piece.
