Hi Brandon! I'd love to invite you to join the private beta test for Metta (mettavr.com) - a new 360 & virtual reality video platform and community. We're pre-launch but if you sign up to join the waiting list on mettavr.com and let me know that you have a 360 camera (there's a place on the signup form where you can let me know) I'll send you a beta invite within the hour together with a personal invite to our Slack community and you'll be able to start uploading your 360 videos on Metta. Feel free to ping me on Twitter (@cecimetropolis) if you don't get an invite to the beta within an hour of signing up. Really looking forward to seeing your videos on Metta, keep making those awesome 360 videos!
Basically, I shot this with a GoPro array consisting of 6 GoPro hero 4 blacks. I then stitched the video together using video stitching software called Autopano Video, www.kolor.com/autopano-video/.
Brandon, I really like your videos. I was looking for a 360 cameraman to team up with during Mardi Gras. If you're interested, email me at stephennutting@gmail.com. Have a great night!
+Stephen Nutting I would love to help you out, unfortunately I don't personally own a 360 camera rig. LSU has one, but I don't know if I can borrow it.
How many Gopros did you use...what type of rig? Also, do you work with anyone or are you on your own. Lastly, what kind of software and computer are you using. I love my mac, but it seems as if it will not be powerful enough to do this kind of work. Thanks. :)
+Moses Ukoh I use 6 GoPro Hero4 blacks in a Freedom 360 mount on either a monopod or a tripod (for this one I used a monopod). The software I use is Autopano video. I did all of the editing on a Macbook, however, it is the most powerful Macbook money can buy, with a i7 processor and 14GB or RAM. This particular video I did on my own, but I have worked with other companies before.
+Brandon Ore Thanks for the response! :-) I recently put together my own GoPro Rig and am figuring out the ins and outs of doing this type of video. If you don't mind me asking, what companies have you worked for that did this type of video? And I recently found out that my MacBook Pro is only nominally powerful enough to create 1 or 2 minute videos. Which take about 2 hours each... :-( How much did your computer cost you? Thanks so much for replying! :-D
+Moses Ukoh All360media is the company that I have worked with. As for the computer, I spent over $2000.00 on it. However, a desktop is the best computer to use because a Macbook tends to get very hot. If I render a video on my laptop, I have to sit it in the refrigerator to avoid overheating.
