Description

Poke your head into Adult Swim’s Virtual Brainload and gaze in awe at the backside of reality. You’ll live the American dream, drifting bodiless and overwhelmed, free from the tyranny of choice and responsibility. But caution: Parts of this journey will test your mind as well as your body and the person who emerges may not be anyone you know.

Virtual Brainload is a 5 minute mind-bending CG 360 video based on fan-favorite Meatwad Dome Experience and Adult Swim’s first VR experience

Early in the project I visited Williams Street with Creative Director Luis Blackaller to demo early VR content to Mike Lazzo and his team. As a lifelong Adult Swim fan, I loved visiting Williams Street and meeting the entire team.

Editing the original content and mastering the huge file sizes were some of the biggest challenges we overcame during production.

Virtual Brainload is a 360 video that creatively adapts the original Meatwad dome content to work on VR headsets via mirroring, editing, and rendering. It was released online and used at various AdultSwim activations throughout 2015 and 2016
