360 rumors

Vantage.tv's CEO Juan Santillan, in cooperation with Nokia and UploadVR, presented a masterclass on how to do a 360 livestream of a concert. During the masterclass, Mr. Santillan used the Nokia OZO , a broadcast-quality 3D 360 camera. Not only did Mr. Santillan discuss the techniques but they actually demonstrated them, by doing a 360 livestream of a performance by Megan Slankard. If you missed the livestream, here is a recorded version: Among other techniques, the livestream demonstrated switching between several cameras, while maintaining the audio: Another technique they showed was to use a jib crane to raise and lower the camera smoothly (seen on the left side of the screen capture below) This is the second masterclass presented by Nokia and UploadVR.  This past Wednesday, they presented a masterclass on best practices in 360 filmmaking .

As previously announced , Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Henning shared his techniques for 360 videography in a masterclass called 360 Filmmaking Best Practices, sponsored by Nokia and UploadVR. The class was livestreamed in 360 on YouTube with two Nokia OZO cameras .  If you missed the class, you can watch it here: There will be a second masterclass today at 630pm Pacific Time, entitled "How to Live Stream a Concert in VR," by Juan Santillan, CEO & Founder of vantage.tv .

One of the first entertainers to embrace 360 video is Conan O' Brien, one of my favorite standup comedians.  Some skits on his Conan talk show on TBS are livestreamed in 360 on the Team Coco YouTube channel using four Nokio OZO cameras .   Past shows can be seen on the Conan360 playlist: If you have the Samsung Gear VR , you can also see them within the Samsung VR app, under the category Conan 360. Check it out!  The Aquaman skit (currently #7) is hilarious!   Warning : NSFW (but you shouldn't be watching VR at work anyway)!
