The concept of 360stories relates to the early stage of creation of
feature 360-degree film stories. The trials of different methods are gathered on this website. Most of the movies
were recorded using spherical video cameras (Ladybug2 and Ladybug3) and present stories by the application of
the same or similar techniques of presenting narratives as in the early cinema and characterise the following features:
- the application of commentary of a lecturer
- creation of travel genre movies
- lack of advanced video editing
- lack of actors
- lack of dialogues
The research about merging video panoramas and narratives continues.
I would like to express my gratitude towards ICCI from the University of Plymouth for their support in the creation video panoramas presented on this website.
You are welcome to upload your 360story to this website.
This YouTube video explains one of the methods of gathering 360stories:
This is a recording done with Ladybug2 spherical video camera and presents the 360-degree video about Krakow in Poland displayed on a 360-degree screen at the University of Montreal (Canada). It was recorded in August 2009.
The author would like to thank Vincent Chapdelaine-Couture and Sebastian Roy from Vision3D lab (University of Montreal) for this opportunity.
