GYMNASIA

Virtual Reality

Discover a place where the ghostly ephemera of a lost childhood await.

Step into the stillness of an abandoned school and enter GYMNASIA.

Recall the particular sights and sounds of a child’s world through the echoes of ball games, school lessons, and choir recitals. GYMNASIA reanimates the memories of those forgotten days. This project flawlessly blends 3D 360-degree video, stop-motion, miniatures and CGI, and pushes the art of puppet animation into uncharted territory.

Premiered at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival.

Making Headlines

GYMNASIA can best be described as an unsettling and wonderfully-bizarre dream-like experience that blends the world of theater, life-size puppets, animation, and cinematic VR into uncharted territories that stretch the art of immersive entertainment beyond further than ever before.

Gymnasia” is a perfectly quirky demonstration of technical prowess.

What struck me about this vr experience was that nothing really happens in a sense. We’re dropped into this rundown school gymnasium. We meet a couple of characters and that’s about it. And I don’t mean that as a critique of the work…it’s what makes it so great.
