Halloween 360

My wife must have passed the tech gene on to our kids. Kim is the photographer. Lynn takes video of her patients (she is a physical therapist working with children undergoing long-term she uses when she presents on her methods. Todd is a videographer. Todd now works for Target and I thought I would bring some attention to his most recent project.

Todd’s is an artistic director for Target. He does ads and the video that is used by executives in corporate meetings, conventions. etc. He gets to experiment much more than I would have expected and with a budget that likely would amaze those of us working in education. Pretty serious stuff. Here is a project I thought tech folks might find interesting.

Todd posted the following to Facebook – he gets annoyed when his collaborators are not recognized so I included the entire post.

Check out this set of interactive videos I directed for Target. This was a super fun job. It was a weird process figuring out how to get this done. I was lucky to be working with a whole bunch of amazing folks and we figured it out together.Rm Frankenstein Hanson, Kyle Gustafson, Steve Chirhart, Jeff Barbian,Travis Robertson, Glen Faught, Joel Weber, Bryan Shelley, Kyle Franke, Tom Kristjanson, Scott Nordhausen, Betsy Thayer, Justin Mass, Alyssa Yule, Betsy Thayer, Jennifer Hotovec, Dave Pope, Gerhardt Riautschnig, Nathan Lee, Craig Hanson, Dave Underhill , johnny Hagen and a whole bunch of others.

I would describe this a choose your Halloween adventure with product placement. I had some difficult exploring it on my iPad II, but it worked great on Cindy’s newer iPad. It was really fun on my Chromebook Pixel because I could explore the 360 “environments” by manipulating the video on the screen with a finger.

What you see in these YouTube videos was captured with this:

Exploratory video environments are on the way.
