360 video production

The technology behind 360 video production has been around for some time but it has still not been adopted by many consumers. Jemma Douglas and Ryan Pow work on productions trying to change that.

In this forum they talked about 360 video productions at Staples VR, a complete VR production studio with offices in New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom. They explored what makes a successful film through discussing their on set work flow as well as post-production.

This forum took place on 21 March.
