A Somerset filmmaker is working on an extraordinary invention that he hopes will revolutionalise the way we watch movies - and he's inviting the county's residents to try it out next week.

Josh Randall, a 23-year-old freelance filmmaker, will be hosting a free exhibition at the Bridgwater Engine Room where he will reveal his 3D helmet innovation described as a 'stereophonic headset using binaural audio with 3D HD cameras and LCD goggles allowing capture and display in one'.

Essentially, it is a point-of-view camera to allow people to see through someone else’s eyes, and Josh wants visitors to come along and give it a try.

The free exhibition will take place on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday next week, from 10am to 4pm.

Josh said: “I have grown up with a fascination for storytelling, from conversation, books, comics, films, radio. It’s the way we relate to each other and share our experiences.

“Films like 'Being John Malkovich’ and ‘Enter the Void’ inspired me where we go inside a character's head.

"I hope that this prototype will be a new way of relating to different perspectives and I am looking forward to testing out people’s reactions to it.”

Josh’s show has been made possible through a Reveal Innovation Award. This is an annual bursary for a visual artist to develop new digital work curated by the Reveal partners - Brewhouse Visual Arts, Somerset Art Works and Somerset Film – with support from Arts Council England.
