Quotes from Freddie Wong

If you can't answer the question 'What is VR adding to that experience?' - and it should be more than just a gee-whiz thing - then that project shouldn't be in VR. You're not taking full advantage of your medium.

I feel like we cheated... because you read about these other directors, just like, 'Damn! They paid dues for 10 years before they got to get behind the camera.'

~ Freddie Wong

~ Freddie Wong
We founded RocketJump for two reasons: to provide quality entertainment and to reach as many different audiences as possible.

VR has a whole range of things it's very good at, and there's a lot of things that it's going to be deficient at.
