Nathan Fairchild is a VR filmmaker and immersive media designer. He is completing an MFA at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts. His work focuses on bringing real people, places, and things into the virtual world to create visceral experiences of presence.

Coming from a background in filmmaking and sound, he became fascinated with the possibilities of immersive media and virtual reality to remove the frame from visual media and enable expanded cinematic experiences.

His interests and production experience include neural radiance fields, virtual production, volumetric capture, photogrammetry, and integrating traditional live-action cinematography/characters with immersive 3D worlds inside Unreal Engine and Unity.
