Animal Planet has a new series that uses a virtual reality (VR) viewer to create an animated documentary.
The series, which will premiere on November 12, features a crew of five members who use a computer to capture footage of animals around the world and create a virtual world where animals live and play.
The crew travels through a virtual environment to capture animals as they interact with the animals, including dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks and many more.
The project is based on the best-selling book “The Planet,” which was published by HarperCollins in 2016.
“The video experience is a first,” a producer for the show said in a press release.
“It’s a great way to get some of the world’s best and most iconic animals into the virtual space for a few minutes.
It’s a nice experience that lets you explore all the animals that are living in the world.”
The VR footage will then be projected onto a wall and shared with a select group of viewers, and the viewer will be able to vote on which animal they think will be the best animal in the documentary.
“With the technology, we can now create a full-fledged documentary in an immersive way,” the producer added.
“In the end, we hope that viewers will be amazed by the incredible diversity of animals in the virtual world.”
Animals in the Planet project is currently in production, and is scheduled to premiere in 2019.
The show’s first episode will focus on a dog called Kiki, who lives in Los Angeles.
Kiki is the first dog in the series to be featured on the cover of the book, and in the video below, she appears to be wearing a pink shirt and pants.
“I’ve lived in a dog house since I was four months old,” she said in the clip.
“But I always had a dream of owning a house of my own.”
In the book “Kiki,” the dog is named after Kiki Laughlin, a woman who died in 2016 while on vacation in the Philippines.
In 2017, the book was named one of the Top Ten books of 2017 by The New York Times.
“Kikis story is one of a breed of animals that will live to see another day,” the narrator says in the first episode.
“She has become the star of the show, and now she is going to live to tell the story of her life.
The first part of the series is available now, and we are hoping to produce more episodes and show more animals.
We hope to tell Kiki’s story in a way that captures her essence and makes her the best we can be.”
The show will be shot in LA, with a crew traveling to Mexico and Thailand.
The producer for this project told The Wall St. Journal that the crew would film at a studio owned by Universal Studios Hollywood, and would shoot the video using a VR headset.
“We would film a VR session with a virtual crew in the studio in Los Angles, CA.
This would allow us to capture the animals as if they were real, while still having the same incredible visual quality,” the production director said.
The production will begin filming in early 2019, and will be filmed at Universal Studios, where the show will begin production.
The full-length version of the project is set to premiere on Animal Planets home page on November 24, 2019.
