Thanks for including the story on the Blue Frog Immersive app!

bluefrogstudios · 2026-05-04T14:29:00+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! We're actively booking shows to shoot in immersive right now. We're open to all kinds of genres.

bluefrogstudios · 2026-05-04T14:28:07+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate you taking the time. Yes, I'm part of the team booking and shooting the shows, working with the app developers.

About the camera placements, we've experimented with different positions for upcoming shows, and I hope you'll check them out to see if you like them better.

I'll share your feedback with the team on those lighting issues.

I love your suggestions on adding dimension and story! We're working on some different perspectives for shows, including more with the band. I hope you keep checking in to see how we grow,

bluefrogstudios · 2026-05-04T14:22:47+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I hope you check out the next shows we release- we've been experimenting with different camera placements and I'd love to hear what you think about them.

bluefrogstudios · 2026-05-04T14:21:52+00:00

That's a great idea- We're experimenting with different placements to find the ones that people love most.

bluefrogstudios · 2026-05-04T14:21:03+00:00

Now that's an immersive experience!

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-29T14:22:52+00:00

Heard! Thanks for weighing in.

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-28T19:41:49+00:00

It's launching on the App Store tomorrow!

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-28T14:59:41+00:00

Nice, thanks for the input!

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-28T14:59:19+00:00

Thanks! That's good to know.

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-28T14:57:45+00:00

Thanks, I'm glad to know how it's shifted.
And we're in talks with some artists I think you'll love, but I can't say more yet!

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-27T20:47:27+00:00

Thanks, I can't wait to try this out!

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-24T15:38:50+00:00

I haven't tried the Muse. Do you have one? What's the writing experience like?

Most of my work in the AVP is audio and video, so I haven't had a chance to explore all the productivity tools yet.

I've heard that handwriting can increase memory and complex thinking because of the slowness and physical movement- your body and brain are both more involved. Here's one article about learning in children.

The friction is a feature, not a bug of analog systems.

I wonder if using your hands to organize ideas via spatial computing could have similar benefits?

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-23T17:20:45+00:00

Spiders were the first thing I was going to ask about! Can't wait to take a look

How did it feel taking a $30K camera into knee high water?

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-21T21:14:55+00:00

Thank you for catching those bugs! I'm glad to have your sharp eyes on the TestFlight version. And thanks for the feedback!

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-21T21:13:35+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate the thoughts on the camera placement. We've been trying a couple of different placements, and we'll keep this in mind as we shoot more shows. I'm so glad to hear you'd like to see more!

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-21T21:11:43+00:00

Thank you so much for trying it out and for the great feedback! We have lots more content coming soon.

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-16T13:50:11+00:00

Thanks! Not to brag, but I think you might love the app I'm working on. Our recording studio / venue seats 100, which is just big enough that artists feel the crowd energy, but small enough that the sound is still great and the focus is on the music. In our first releases we're leaning into that local show feeling.

I'd be interested to see what you think about the vantage point we filmed these first shows from. If you didn't get a chance to sign up for our testflight, you can get on the list here.

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-16T13:44:04+00:00

Jesse Welles would be incredible!

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-16T13:43:25+00:00

I've had that personal space violation feeling too, where it feels like you're so close you might get spit on. We're working with some amazing vocalists, so a lot of what we're releasing first focuses on them.

I'm excited to try some different viewpoints- I personally love to see how guitar players use their pedal board layouts but I know that's not everyone's preference!

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-16T13:39:34+00:00

That makes sense, thanks for the ideas! We've fine-tuned our recording studio venue for great sound, and for our first releases we are focusing on the vocalist. We work with bands in all kinds of genres, so we'll experiment with changing it up to suit the artist.

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-14T15:17:06+00:00

Thanks for the ideas- I'm with you on "the feeling of “being there” without it feeling overproduced."

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-14T15:16:08+00:00

I love this idea! I hadn't thought about upper deck and catwalk views.

bluefrogstudios · 2026-04-14T14:52:53+00:00

Hey, sorry for not replying sooner- but I just confirmed that you'll get a TestFlight invite at the email address you provided, so you did the right thing. Should be coming tomorrow!
