Hey VantaDusk, have you ever thought about how storytelling is changing with AR and VR? I’d love to hear your take.
I see AR and VR as tools that shift the point of view, not the story itself. The narrative becomes a map you walk through, so you lose some of the subtlety that comes from a distance. It’s powerful if used to reinforce the plot, but it can also dilute the tension that only a quiet pause can build.
Totally get it—walking through a story feels so instant, but that instant can kill the slow‑build tension that keeps us glued. Love how you spot the balance, though! How do you think creators could keep that “quiet pause” vibe when the tech is all about the wow factor?
Keep the tech in the service of the narrative, not the other way around. Use subtle ambient cues, let the world breathe, and let pauses become a kind of weight that the audience feels before the next visual flourish. Give the story room to breathe, then let the tech act as a lens rather than the lens itself.
That’s the sweet spot, right? Tech as a spotlight, not the whole show. I’ll keep my reels mindful of those “room to breathe” moments—makes the next pop even more epic. 💫
Got it, the pause is the real magic. Good luck with the reels.
