where'd you get a 360 degree camera?! or were those just pics you put together. who's that british chick that takes 360 degree pics and makes art films with robert downey jr?

thanks everyone.

the wide ones were a bunch of pictures taken with a Canon EOS 6.3 MP Digital Rebel and stitched together by PhotoStitch which comes with it.

the first, second, and seventh-eleventh are digital. 1, 2, and 7 were enhanced with Zoom Browser, which came with the camera.

Seriously, those are fucking amazing.

I really like the reflection in the glass on this one, or maybe it's someone on the other side, I just really like that face right there.

thanks. it's a reflection of the head on the very upper left. he was wearing face paint to look like a tiger.. i can't remember why. if you look very hard to the right of the reflection you can see me taking the picture.

Title: Re: pic's pics
Post by: picolas on November 20, 2005, 02:21:33 AM
i put the camera on a tripod, upped the f-stop, set the exposure to a couple of seconds, and poked the chandelier.

man that was very cool. how much did it cost?
Title: Re: pic's pics/movs
Post by: picolas on December 06, 2007, 01:35:31 PM
thanks. i've never tallied it before.. probably my most expensive thing yet. a lot of the objects were found. all the locations were free. but building the suits (i went through about 5 rolls of duct tape, 4 spray cans, bought way more metal tubing than i needed cause i wanted the legs covered as well originally), renting the tables for the night club (i was amazed there was no other way), and other random expenses probably added up to somewhere around $100-$200. not to mention the camera, which i didn't buy specifically for this, but was a recent purchase for $1000 and something.

my youtube channel has been destroyed by some spammers overnight.. if you have a spare minute you can help by rating everything 5 stars to balance out this travesty:

i hope this doesn't sound too pathetic. i've had the channel since '06 and it's really upsetting for it to suddenly look like crap.

i'm not sure what we're doing here.

i'm rating everything 5 stars cos spammers.. did what?

not being insensitive, i'm doin the thing but not sure why..
Title: Re: pic's pics/movs
Post by: picolas on January 03, 2010, 02:16:34 AM
i appreciate it dudes.

p, just a group of like 13 malicious people decided to rate everything 1 star overnight for no reason, thereby devaluing everything/if i took a look at the channel as an outsider it would seem terrible. i know this because videos that previously had no ratings were suddenly 13 1-stars and people had written pretty terrible comments in a couple of places that had nothing to do with the videos, which was how i got the email alert.

Next time I'm discussing movies with someone, I'm going to slip "It seems like all the best films nowadays go backwards" somewhere into the conversation.

That was brilliant! Was there possibly a wee cameo by Sphinx too? I'm a fan of your previous work so big up bro.

What's the name of the Radiohead song in the video?
