Panorama movies

[Tom Brown]

I love panoramas. Most of my photography is panoramas. I don't know what it is about the format but there is something about it I'm addicted to.

... but I don't know what to think about this new panorama video camera. It's certainly neat, though. 360*... full motion video. WTF?

I heard the Obamas used a panoramic camera during their family reunion in Kenya. You're such a liberal fuck Tom.... I'll pray for your soul.

Nice.
Probably un-affordable at this point.

That crap would get old quick and soon becomes unwatchable IMO. Get you a super wide like this. No funky distortion giving you a headache or messing with your mind.

Plus these are affordable

Tom , they had 70mm panoramic film back in 1911. Nothing really new just more advanced. You can check some interesting info here> http://www.ebookbyte.com/admin/uplo...tory Of World Cinema (www.eBookByte.com).pdf

Back in the 60's in Germany there was a theatre with a projector with 360* viewed on the screen. If I remember correctly it was called Kugel Kino.
The camera was mounted underneath a sphere to take the movie and projected in reverse mode in the theatre.

here's an interesting link, in german, watch the video> http://derstandard.at/1318461276234/360-Grad-Kamera-Ball-schiesst-im-Wurf-Panorama-Fotos
