33 Creative input paradigm shift Opportunities & restrictions Every take has to be fully synchronized between 2D and 360; Microphones, lights and other tools must be hiding in plain sight; Simultaneous storytelling allows for new points of view in terms of narrative; The user chooses what to see and discover within the world they are presented; Novel way of storytelling The portals are a new organic way to present multi-platform content; Transitioning between 360º views has the potential to innovate even further; By using TV, HMD and Tablet for different types of narrative media, the user will choose the type of device they feel more comfortable with;

34 Lessons learned Creating the narrative, one must think of multiple platforms which by nature will have different types of storytelling: what works well for tablet might not be suited for a TV; Producing content that mixes 2D images with 360º requires a different approach to production but most of all to post-production - editing becomes a whole different task;
