Our group decided to cover the club swim team at SU. We arrived there on Tuesday around 8:00 PM and started setting up. The club president was our connect and was also available to be interviewed. Some of the challenges we ran into were that we didn't consider too seriously how important the concept of not having a behind the camera was. Also hard was finding a subject that would be dynamic enough to film in 360 without there being too much boring down time. our group initially struggled with...

Our group decided to cover the club swim team here at SU. These passionate swimmers meet three times a week for an evening practice. The club is inclusive to swimmers of all levels, and fully embrace their family aspect in and out of the pool. I contacted Ryan O'Hara, the president of the club, and conducted the interview with him. I recorded his audio separately. As he talks, you hear the competitive splashing of his teammates in the background. All my group members also contributed in recording the videos and...

Our group consisted of Katie Conti, Rachel Roth, and myself. I worked on the project mostly as an editor, but also helped with idea creation and camera operation. Katie was a producer and camera manager. In addition, she helped plan everything related to the Remembrance Scholars since she is one. Rachel was the technical lead for the filming of the video, worked to set up locations and refine the concept, and served as the main scriptwriter for audio commentary. Using the Insta360pro was interesting and fun. Hopefully I will be...

Being an avid football fan I really wanted our audience to see and feel what it would be like to watch a Super Bowl in VR. Unfortunately, the team that I like was not in the Superbowl but I acted as an Eagles fan to show the audience what an Eagles fan would act like during the game. With my reactions to certain big plays in the game. I had never used Priemere before so this project took a little time for me to learn how to perfect. After watching many...

Our group’s decision of making a Super Bowl 360 video was decided right before the weekend of the game, and the party was at one of our group member’s house who I didn't know before, so I didn't partake in filming part. However, I did help to stitch the videos and picked up the drive from the lab, and helped create the logo with Kyle. On Wednesday, I edited the video with Ryan until 8pm while Kyle went to the lab to stitch more videos. I helped all the parts...

Our group continued with our project, filming a traditional American Super Bowl party.  During the actual Super Bowl, I set the scene, finding places for the camera that would place the viewer “in the center of it all.”  Especially, in the first few shots in the kitchen, I tried to position as many things away from each other as possible, so Ryan would have to go all around the room to get all of his necessary utensils.  This helped make for a much more dynamic scene, especially once sped up,...

After the Syracuse hockey team got suspended, Jack and I had to come up with another strong idea that would justify a 360 video. As discussed with professor Pacheco in class, 360 videos are meant to transport a viewer’s consciousness to a perspective that is not common. Jack and I brainstormed on certain ideas and shortlisted a few. However, the final idea came quite unexpectedly when I was sitting in a lab alone and accidently met Wasim, a former student from professor’s Pacheco’s class. I started conversing with Wasim and...

Our idea for this project was to film an SU Track and Field Practice in 360 degrees. We will place the camera in several locations, including center field, the tracks starting line, finish line, and 50 yard line to capture a variety of races/drills for the viewer to experience.   THE SCENE   Indoor track in Manley Field House   Lighting   Indoor lighting   AUDIO Ambient audio with possible music track   EXPERIENCE What specific experience do you hope to give to someone else? To see what a SU...

THE SCENE o   A small room o   A large, open space o   Subject(s) close to the camera o   Not much movement o   Movement close to the camera LIGHTING Lighting is important for both mood, and the quality of the stitch. Choose one of the following: • Daylight, outside • Night, outside • Indoor lighting   AUDIO We are going to have narrators who will explain their side of the story.   EXPERIENCE One of the unique things about a 360 video is its ability to transport another person’s consciousness to a specific...
