New Venice is a groundbreaking Spatial Animation in development for VR about two robots finding love in the hauntingly snowy streets of an empty metropolis.

New Venice will blend high-caliber character animation with VR to pioneer immersive storytelling. Our Spatial Animation narrative challenges the status quo, invoking cinema's transformative spirit to push the boundaries of storytelling for VR. Utilizing the latest VR tech, we blur the lines between digital art forms, offering an enthralling story of love and adventure set against a noir-inspired metropolis. Led by animator Zach Mulligan, ZOPStudios aspires to help push VR into a new era with this compelling tale.
