Yesterday I wrapped production on two very exciting projects that were shot simultaneously. “Ballet 360” and “Krump 360” were created by collaborating with The Big Freeze – a USA based company specializing in the ‘time slice’ effect. The concept of these projects was to trigger 48 DSLR cameras at the same moment aligned in a 360-degree ring. The result is what I consider to be ‘360-degree Photography’. These twin projects are an extension of the Chalmers Arts Fellowship I have been undertaking this year – ‘to explore the structural elements of the moving image’. The subjects photographed were dancers from Canada’s National Ballet School (Ballet 360) and dancers from Northbuck Entertainment (Krump 360). These projects would not have been possible without the help of such a dedicated cast and crew – I can’t thank them enough. I’ll be posting content and notes on the post-process over the coming weeks as I begin to work with the files and assemble images to a 360-degree view. Below is a look at the production process – photos by Photographer Melissa Tait.

NPR (National Public Radio in the USA) featured a write up on a few of my projects for their blog ‘The Picture Show’. Here’s a link to the post.

Someone pointed out to me last week that my project “Bugs!” was included in MediaStorm’s ‘Worth Watching’ list. Some great projects linked here. Check them out.
