𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 ⏳ Richard pictured après-ski at Stein Eriksen Lodge, Park City, Utah. With him was Eugene Chung, founder and CEO of Penrose Studios, and Chung's wife, Greem Kim, who posted the OG photo to her IG 3 years ago today. Rich had voiced Tide in the VR (virtual reality) animation shorts Arden's Wake and Tide's Fall for Penrose. Chung described the portrayal as "a true tour de force of VR acting." Nice that Rich received the praise due him -- for voice acting AND good looks.
@eyc The incredible @RCArmitage!
A favorite directing moment: his genuine & moving reaction to @penrosestudios Arden's Wake in London. Richard’s portrayal of Tide is a true tour de force of VR acting.

Four years ago today, Richard shared a photo of himself on Instagram.
"My name is Richard Armitage and I'm playing Tide in Arden's Wake"
My screenshots from Penrose's new video with Richard about Arden's Wake.

Five Emotionally Draining VR Films
ARDEN’S WAKE: TIDE’S FALL
We can’t talk about emotionally draining VR storytelling without mentioning Arden’s Wake: Tide’s Fall. Released back in 2017 on the festival circuit, Arden’s Wake: Tide’s Fall is an absolutely jaw-dropping experience that blends captivating visuals with an equally enthralling story.
Developed by Penrose Studios, the story follows Meena–voiced by Alicia Vikander (Tomb Raider, Ex Machina)–a strong young woman living in a post-apocalyptic world in which the seas have swallowed the entire Earth. After an unexplained accident befalls her father–voiced by Richard Armitage (The Hobbit Trilogy, Castlevania), Meena ventures into the unknown depths on a daring rescue mission, discovering various sea life scattered among sunken remnants of the old world.
What follows is a heart-wrenching journey about love, regret, and acceptance. Sufficeth to say my time with Arden’s Wake: Tide’s Fall was some of my favorite spent while in a VR headset. The Pixar-style visuals and unique viewing format hooked me within the first 10-seconds, while the well-crafted story kept me captivated for the duration. In fact, the only negative I can find in the project is the fact that it’s still unavailable to the general public.
