5:15-5:30: Housekeeping

• Remember: take survey AND do assignment 1 as blog post. Last time you can be late and get credit ...
• Quick check on enrollment. Please humor me as I take new photos of you ...
• Our #VRStorytelling hashtag has been hijacked. New suggestions? (Maybe #VRNewhouse).
• VR Experience research presentations. Review VR Experience Research page and sign up for a slot. First presentation next week!
• I'm at Sundance Friday-Sunday. Text me if there's something you hear about that I should check out.
• Check out Dear Angelica on the Oculus + Touch in the Innovation Lab.
• Wasim and Aubrey's 360 of Seneca Falls women's march.
• NYTimes Daily 360: https://www.nytimes.com/video/the-daily-360

5:30 -5:45: Discussion about experiences from week 1 (your posts).

5:45-6: Shooting in 360. Things to consider:

• Tripod height: where's my head?
• How tall do you expect to be?
• Where do I face first? Put that in the middle. (You can change later in Premiere).
• Don't move much, or too fast. If you do, no faster than a walking pace. No jitters!
• Sorry, but your awesome 360 skydiving or race-car drive is a vomit comet.
• Don't make people read too much if at all. Never more than a tweet at a time.
• See more first-time tips here.

6-6:10: Shooting with stitchless 360 cameras work.

• Samsung Gear360, stitchless, requires Samsung Action Director (PC only) to stitch two images. (We will do this in the lab together later today).
• Nikon KeyMission, stitchless, take straight off the card.

6:10-6:30: Post-production in Adobe Premiere Pro with Nikon KeyMission footage.

• Copy files.
• Open in Premiere Pro.
• New to Premiere? Follow the steps in the tip sheet at NHMediahelp.syr.edu. Some key things to keep in mind:
  • ALWAYS work off your hard drive! You must set up folders and point to them from Premiere for each project.
  • Turn on the 360 VR tools (details here.)
  • Export with the correct settings (details here).

6:30-6:40: Post-production of Samsung Gear360 files.

• Adobe Premiere Pro steps are the same, but before you can use Premiere you must stitch.
• Let's go to the Innovation Lab to learn how to do that. (Walk walk walk ...)

6:40-6:50: Assignment 2

• Assignment 2 is to write a 360 video script. DUE NEXT WEDNESDAY MORNING.
• Your mission: come up with an idea so awesome that a team votes to shoot with you.
• An incentive: All of the first videos will be on the Interactive Media Wall.

6:50-7:30: Now, team up with a video team and go forth and shoot!

• Inside, outside, differnet lighting conditions.
• Bring footage back to innovation lab.

7:30-8: Watch the footage in VR.

• We will load it on the PCs and watch in Oculus.
