V Squared goes Big and Round: Cylindrical Visuals for Rok Vegas Club
Vello Virkhaus’ V Squared Labs takes on some of the biggest jobs around, and has put together 12,000 pixel wide, surround visuals for the Rok Vegas club in Las Vegas. It’s super-gaudy stuff, but I’m guessing the word “subtle” didn’t feature in the brief from this client.

Aesthetics aside, those demo videos are a great way of showing off surround content. If you’d like your 360 to be a little less commercial, how about this video for Cut Chemist’s “1st Big Break”:

They’re going a little bit far calling this “The first music video ever shot with a 360 degree panoramic lens”, but it definitely has other things going for it.

That’s the coolest thing I’ve seen and heard all day, 360 or not.

the interesting thing is not the 360shooting but how to project it.

Miguex - the National Parcs video is the one I was thinking of when I said “They’re going a little bit far calling this ‘The first music video ever shot with a 360 degree panoramic lens.’” I’m sure there have been others though.

I actually remember Vello showing me some stuff he shot for Korn’s DVD back in 2002 with the same results, with a custom built 360 camera (consisting on several cameras attached together), I remember a scene of a little girl riding on a tricycle on some spooky house it looked unreal.
I’m not saying he was the first, but that was the first time I saw something like this.
