Impromptu Studio - a virtual view

September 25th, 2008 by: Chris Punke

Yesterday the folks at Impromptu Studio graciously allowed me to interrupt them for a few minutes so I could put together a little test project.

My goal was to create an interesting virtual view of the space so people who haven’t seen it can visualize what it’s like.

Although a video tour would accomplish my goals, I decided to take a more creative approach. I wanted to “freeze time” a bit, to capture the space without the distraction of movement — and this way we get to pan back and forth through the space to take a closer look.

    Wow! That’s awesome! Did you have to get everyone to sit still?

    I was kinda hoping it would go around all 360 degrees, though.

    Very slick. I could see this expanding into a “full tour” as well, though…

    Nice work!

    Keep Cooking!

    Thanks guys!

    Was a fun experiment.

    I agree. Going all the way around would be awesome. Slight problem with available space to fit the makeshift mailcart/camera dolly… so had to stick with 180+-

    Maybe for next one!

    :)

    Very cool. I agree 360 degress would have been ideal but it is very cool and unique!

    I was happy to be part of this video. It turned out very cool.

    Excited to see the rest of the space mapped out with stop motion. :)

    Very, very cool. It shows off the workspace quite nicely, I think. :) Admittedly, a full 360 would probably be even cooler, but I think this is pretty awesome just the same.

    […] continue on with my experimenting nature and on the heels of my experimental freeze-motion virtual tour of Impromptu Studio, I decided to actually create a category called “Lab” and put a menu item up top for […]
