Der Ratskeller
A re-imagining of the Kander and Ebb musical film, Cabaret, this version takes place in the late 1920s in Berlin, in the old Wilhelmsburger Ratskeller, where the new owners have christened their new cabaret "The Kit Kat Club."

This is also a virtual reality project for the HTC Vive. Using a headset, it is possible to walk around and explore this set.

Virtual reality (VR) is a tool that I have been working with for a while now. I am hoping that this technology will help to improve design for the theatre, film, and television industries. It offers many advantages over traditional model building. It allows directors to truly have a sense of scale, to walk around and find their angles, and to manipulate the scene in real time. It is also more environmentally friendly, faster, and much less costly, since it does not get stuck in the tedium of finding art supplies and building models that only approximate the end result.
