360 Degrees Video? He’s behind you! No, it’s not the Christmas pantomime that came early…
SphereVision and Transmission TX have workied together on a VR City Production, to capture William Shakespeare’s Hamlet in 360-degrees for a fresh take on theatre.
Using a complex 360 camera system (a combination of both Odyssey and Omni camera systems), along with a Laser Scanner. The captured footage then is augmented and enhanced by the use of overlaying the 3D model, converted from a point cloud (using Pointfuse’s rapid point cloud to vector software).
Once in post, this allows the use of depth maps to aid the editors to add some pretty cool effects. Enhancing what is already an interesting take on a standard theatre production!
Check back soon for a link to the finished piece. We love these innovative ways of utilising 360 degrees video, it’s going to look great.
A great project to work on!
