I initially had a lot of trouble coming up with an idea for a video, so I watched probably a dozen of the NYT Daily 360 videos. A common theme out of those videos was unless there was a news angle to them, most of them just showed off specific locations with a little information about each place. So, I decided to take that concept and run with it, hence, A Day in the Life of a Syracuse University student.

I shot at three locations on campus: Food.com in Newhouse, the promenade and in Bird Library. I knew that I could definitely shoot in food.com, and I figured I could probably get away with it on the promenade, but I was sure that if I tried to do the same in Bird someone would have yelled at me. So, I snuck into the basement of Bird where there are no librarians and I filmed there!

Compared to the video Alec and I did with the Go Pros, this video was a breeze. The Gear 360 really is a marvelous piece of machinery. I found the Gear 360 editing app also extremely user friendly and intuitive.
