Office of the Future
A "knowledge base" icon in Office of the Future (Jereme Haack)
What do you do when your office-mate decides to try out the latest in virtual reality? How does the flakiness in cutting-edge technology spell disaster? Office of the Future answers these questions.

Office of the Future was inspired by the new technologies and ideas found at a premier research organization. The video features special effects shots involving bluescreening, compositing, and sound work. Tools used to create the video include Alias Maya, Discreet 3ds max, Adobe AfterEffects, Adobe Premiere, Pinnacle Commotion, and Voyetra Digital Orchestrator Pro.

One office worker is immersed; the other isn't (Greg Gerson).
Special thanks to:

  • Jereme Haack, the one who does the flying around;
  • Mike Perkins, who created and rendered the 3D VR backgrounds in Maya; and
  • Jeff Lettau, for lights and sound recording.
  • Jake Nelson of jfet.net for hosting the video.
