360-degree video street view tour of devistated Slave Lake
The Journal got an exclusive tour of the devastation created by the Slave Lake wildfire. Videographer Ryan Jackson set up four cameras on top of a vehicle to capture a 360-degree view as he drove through the town.
Here is my newest 360-degree video of the fire destruction at Slave Lake. I used the same workflow as my 360-degree World Record Dodgeball video
I felt the only way to truly show the extent of the damage to Slave Lake was to do a 360-degree panoramic video similar to Google Street View.
I used four GoPro cameras to capture the video and then stitched the video together. I have since bought a fifth GoPro to use for future videos.
I setup everything on the ground first.
A flash stand worked well for raising the camera above the roof of the Jeep.
Dent puller suction cups from Princess Auto. $5 each!
Even with the super strong suction cups you still need tie-down straps for safety.
I looped the tie-down straps inside the car.
Journal reporter Jana Pruden and me in Slave Lake. A lady in Athabasca was making these shirts to raise money for Slave Lake.
When we got back to the hotel I dumped all the images into my main laptop and then had four more laptops (total of five) processing the video into panoramas. I used a D-Link Gigabit Switch for the network and I had a D-Link DNS-343 8TB NAS drive for backup storage.
When I got home I had all five laptops processing the panoramas.
Five computers means five times the wires!
Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog shine.
Please let me know where you got your design. Thank you
