king of nowhere Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 I can't believe nobody opened a new thread for it (and if somebody did and I failed to notice, direct me to the proper place and delete this thread). On twitter there is a small video that's supposed to represent a chasm. It says that there is a full version on facebook. Is there a way to access that full version if one does not have facebook himself? And are there comments? I think the bottom looks too flat, the rest is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkthinker Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) I've only seen a brief video clip from atop a bridge, and a single 360-view image from the bottom of a chasm, with a chull. I'm not loving their designs, but I'm also highly biased in that regard. It's not that I think they must use the book designs, but I think they can do better than what they have. Nevertheless, I'm interested in seeing what they do next. I would think that if there's a regular post for this, it would be in the Stormlight subforum, but I ended up here as well after searching for just such a thread, so... ?

Andy92 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 This thread was made a while ago but no one had posted updates in it recently. 43 minutes ago, Inkthinker said: I'm not loving their designs, but I'm also highly biased in that regard.

Out of curiousity, what differences would you like to see? I see the 360 video from the bottom of the chasm and it's similar to how I envisioned it (I've hiked through slot canyons in the western USA and that image matches the vibe pretty well). I didn't like the way Stormlight was portrayed flowing through the character's arms in the short video though. That's my small nitpick, but overall I think it feels pretty accurate.

Farnsworth Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 I was only able to locate a short clip from December. Could somebody please direct me to where it can be found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy92 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 @Farnsworth I saw some of the newer stuff uploaded to the 17th Shard Facebook page. Some of it was on Brandon Sanderson's Facebook page too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistbornAlpaca Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Is anyone not excited about this?? I for one, am not. I would much rather see a TV series or movie than a VR experience. No offense to the producers, and this looks great, but I'm not very excited for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're using the VR experience to pitch the series as a movie or TV show to other companies, as the world is so complex and would be high budget, and they want it to be done correctly. I guess it's like "Hey, look how awesome this idea is, with your help we can do it justice". So it's not an either or, it's a step in the right direction 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, yes, it looks great and I am excited because it's definitely a step in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
