Our project is the 360 video of dance performance by Syracuse City Ballet on April 12th. We only had one time opportunity so we borrowed two 360 cameras. However, all six gopros of one camera were all out of battery when we checked the equipment. We had to charge them all as soon as possible. During the shooting, we tried to get to the stage as close as we could, but the staff didn’t allow us to do so. We tried different angles to get better frames. Another problem is...
