Assignment 3: Team project – Animal Shelter

Summary Our project is inviting audience to a local animal shelter. This is the summary of producer's post: "My idea is to create a 360 video experience of a local animal shelter. The main idea behind this video is to create empathy and make the users feel like they are interacting with these different animals. Before I went to an animal shelter, I had a somewhat negative outlook towards them. I had thought they were locations to house stray animals or vicious pets (kind of like a jail for bad...
After talking to one of the co-chairs of the Association of Public Diplomacy Scholars APDS, they mentioned they are having a Public Diplomacy Summit in 2018 in Washington DC. Since the summit is not on campus, they wanted a 360 video that would allow the participants to see the campus and experience what Public Diplomacy scholars go through on a daily basis. Syracuse University campus is a very beautiful campus with various spots to film the 360 video. I started to brainstorm with the APDS on where they often go,...
For the final project I created two different types of interactive experiences for people interested in visiting (or unable to visit) the Montauk Lighthouse, New York's first lighthouse located at the very end of the southern tip of Long Island. Montauk has been my "happy place" for a while, and so it was nice to come back and create an experience that one can use in a headset to feel like they were there - for instance, if you are disabled or are otherwise unable to make it up the...
Life’s rough if you’re a Final Cut Pro X user – while your Adobe Premiere Pro-using friends get built-in support for VR videos, we’re left out in the cold with nothing. Sure, if you’re using footage that’s been converted to equirectangular format (like the kind that comes directly out of the Nikon KeyMission 360 or the Action Director-produced files of the Samsung Gear 360) then you’ll at least be able to force it in, output it in the proper resolution, and then add proper meta information for 360 using the...
360 video assignment: Newhouse school tour

It's that time of year where newly accepted students are eager to find out more about the new adventure they are about to begin. I remember when i got the acceptance email, first thing i did was to reread the whole email, and read the word "Congratulations" over and over before starting to research more in depth about the school. I used google map to walk around campus to see how the school looks like. This gave me the idea that i should do a 360 video of some of...
Wasim’s Assignment 5: 360 degrees of tattooing
by Wasim Ahmad

Halo Tattoo has been a staple on Marshall Street for 20 years. Over the years, co-owner DJ Rose has had many people come by for photos and videos (send him your stuff, if that's you, he asks!) but this is the first time anyone has approached him for 360 video. One of the reasons this makes for a good (I hope) 360 video idea is the space itself. There is literally art over every inch of this place, including the ceiling. It seems from previous experience at the Women's March...
Pole Position in Syracuse, N.Y. – 360-degree go-karting
- February 21
- in
So the above improvement to our video came on a third visit to Pole Position in Syracuse (for reference, here is the earlier version we did). Logan and I learned a little bit from our mistakes. Our biggest mistake was thinking that we could go full speed on a go-kart capable of 45 mph and think we'd get stable footage. That resulted in the mess you saw in the draft version of the project. Sorry for anyone that vomited watching that. This time around, we asked the folks at the...
Assignment 4 – Improving Our 360 Video
by Matthew Schiff

Our 360 video idea originally started off at Urban Life, a workout studio in Armory Square. After filming and started editing the video, it became a complete disaster. The room is a very trendy setting with flashing lights and mirrored walls. Unfortunately, this does not go over well with AutoPano. The room was way too dim and we could not see anything. For our improvements, we decided to go a totally different route. We filmed three different segments of athletics, first starting with a spin class on campus, followed by...
Assignment #2 – 360 Video Pitch
- September 15
- in
Imagine being a prospective student or recent graduate on game day and the whole school is drenched in orange. Now imagine reliving that feeling on campus through a 360 video. My video will start at a game day tailgate. The camera rig will be placed above 7 feet so you can see everything and everyone. Since there are so many people at an event like this, you wont be able to see anything if you’re average height level. Also a ghosting effect may occur if people are too close. The...
