Very clever this and not something I have seen before. Seen loads of 360 degree views, seen loads of helicopter footage but never seen them combined before. Lovely view of Nimmo Bay in British Columbia. Makes you want to go there…so job well done then!! It’s captured with 6 cameras apparently…don’t know which ones though.
The music is a little bit much so I recommend clicking mute and playing some nice Beethoven!
Use your mouse, trackpad to scroll around to see it all!
Congratulations to www.northstudio360.com for this. The company behind this technology are Yelowbird and their demo video is beneath this…
I have just been shown this on the band Muse’s website…it’s two seconds from their Wembley gig using this tech from multiple camera angles and you can zoom in and out. Awesome! Click the image below to go there!
Oh and this wont work on an ipad/ iphone…it’s flash!!

The helicopter in shot spoils the footage for me.
really? that was so cool seeing it!
Yup, too bad you can see it… also, the footage is not that well stabilized. But the 360 degree rotation still is a nice gimmick, though.
Hey Philip, if you like this one, check the promo videos for Doritos Late Night UK: http://www.youtube.com/user/Doritosuk
Very very awesome…
This is way cool. Can’t stop playing around with it! I wish there was a record option so I could make a movies from my sofa! Now I have to work out a way to do this on my airplane. At 180 fisheye would work to a degree but I think this footage was stitched together – any idea how they did it?
Sure beats my static camera shots like this http://vimeo.com/19117839
Philip, I will grant you that song’s a terrible cover. But surely Leonard Cohen’s original version gets the Bloom seal of approval. Leonard’s voice sounds like he’s killed men. Lots of them. He’s a good guy.
Also, cool video!
oh of course! beautiful song! love the cohen and especially Jeff Buckley’s cover!
Loved it! Only thing is that its lagging a bit.
try the main website…it doesn’t lag there
I felt like for a minute that i was the dp directing all the camera movements for lord of the rings or something.
what the ?!
How the hell is it possible to rotate 360° video with a mouse while it’s playing ?? :O
amazing !
Hey Philip. This is the company responsible for the technology: http://www.yellowbirdsdonthavewingsbuttheyflytomakeyouexperiencea3dreality.com/showreel
I’ve been following their stuff for a few years now, but its only this past year that they’ve managed to develop a player capable of handling high quality videos
low that URL! thanks for the heads up
Great stuff! How the hell they did it? 🙂
It’s 5 gopros hacked and rigged together. I saw this setup while in development. Now all the links are dead.
Guess they didn’t want anyone to know.
