Most of these are outtakes, with a few exceptions. They are here to document the creation of Leftovers (2006). These panoramas have not been optimized or color corrected. Hey, I think they still beat the quality of what you find on the New York Times web site ;^)

So let's call this VR Journalism.

Time Lapse Animations

Make sure find all the time lapse animations in the Making Of album above. They are pretty awesome, and they will give you a pretty good idea of the process. We slept in shifts, so I don't think yu will see all five of us together in any of them.

They play through pretty fast, but we shot 1400 panoramas and been running around much like in those sequences for 3 days, non-stop.

Leftovers (2006)

Leftovers (2006), - a panoramic video - is the World's first 360 degree stop-motion animation short, which can be viewed interactively. It was created by a crew of five over several months of evening and weekend prep days and three final days of shooting. You can read more about the process and see photos and videos in the Gallery section.

Consider a panorama, such as those in the Panoramas section, and multiply that with 1400, then stringing those together you got yourself 47 seconds of animation.

Andras has been pursuing and creating panoramic photography since the late 1990's. Mostly known for his 'action' panoramas, namely panoramas taken in the middle of bustling crowds, he's no stranger to panoramic time-lapse video or marrying high dynamic range imagery with the interactivity of traditional web display of panoramas.

Andras is also an organizer of panoramic craetions, such as Leftovers (2006), Sziget360.com or JazzFestBlog.com; bringing artists together from many walks of life and from across borders to lead collaborative projects involving all things panoramic.

He has photographed high profile spaces, such as the Washington National Cathedral, and his panoramic photography has been published by washingtonpost.com and in print by the New York Times.

Kay is a multimedia artist specializing in Flash, QTVR, and 3D modeling, but her preferred title is aesthetic quality control. She has delivered her accumulated wisdom on such subjects as 3D Max, Flash, and photographic VR to the hordes who gather at the Consumer Electronics Show, Digital Media DC, NY Digital Video, the National Association of Broadcasters, and the IVRPA Summit Series.

Formerly chair of the Media Arts and Animation and Game Design departments at The Art Institute of Washington, she now toils under her own banner. Her projects have ranged from work on animations for Volkswagen to fingernail-constructed necklaces to a full-blown workout of her longstanding interest with retro rockets: Washington DC's new Rocket Bar.

She's an art school geek, with skins from Rhode Island School of Design and Savannah College of Art and Design.
