*John Legend has stepped into the world of virtual reality.
The singer is not only voicing one of the main characters in “Rainbow Crow,” a new animated VR series that is set to debut at Tribeca later this month, the film’s Baobab Studios also got him to be an executive producer for the entire series, according to Variety.
“He wants to be with us for the long-term,” said Baobab founder and CEO Maureen Fan.
“Rainbow Crow” is based on a Native American folk tale around themes of self-discovery and diversity. Baobab’s adaptation focuses on the unlikely friendship between a shy and self-conscious skunk and a colorful, self-assured crow, voiced by Legend, who happens to be a kind of pop star among his fellow forest animals.
Baobab will premiere the first episode of “Rainbow Crow” at Tribeca, but the studio has yet to finalize the release schedule as well as other details for subsequent episodes.
Fan said that the show will have some interactive elements, and also innovate on stage theater-like lighting to grab the viewer’s attention.
