When CBS’s 60minutes added 360 video capture for one of their stories I knew we were solidly on the path for everyone to shoot 360 videos… some day. I still have to ask myself are 360 videos a fad? Is it tech just for tech sake and how does it add to the story? If you are wondering, like I am, and you live in the Nashville area then check out The Nashville Filmmaker’s Guild (NFG) workshop coming up Tuesday 11/29. The NFG and Abel Cine are teaming up for a 1/2 day, hands-on, workshop featuring the Nokia OZO 360 camera. Tickets for the workshop will cost $95 for non-members and $75 for guild members. The event will take place at Studio615 and go from 11:00am to 4:00pm.
Virtual Reality (VR) and 360 Video capture have exploded onto the media platform scene as a viable and effective tool for media creation. With distribution platforms such as YouTube and Facebook as well as mobile device support and gaming console support, VR/360 is positioned for rapid growth.

- VR Cameras and available Rigs
- Introduction to Nokia Ozo and peripheral equipment
- VR Storytelling and Application

- VR demo shoot
