Hello! I’m Ryan Forsdyke, I’m on work experience at Chichester’s top creative design agency Chichester Design.
I’m a student at Felpham Community Collage and as I’m interested in the web and photography Chichester Design was the perfect place to hang-out for the week and to find out what goes on in this fast paced industry.
My first task was for myself and Ashley (one of the talented intern web designers) to venture into Chichester’s city centre with the office camera. The setup included a sturdy tripod with a bizarre looking tripod head and a Canon EOS 20D with a 17mm EFS lens. We took photos using a clever little tripod head called the Panosaurus.
The Panosaurus enabled us to take a series of photos in a complete 360°, rotating the lens around something called the central ‘nodal point’: not sure what it means? Look it up on wikipeadia. This makes the process of stitching the images together much easier. Using the Panosaurus we took a total of 16 photos at each location. I used these photos to make an interactive 360° virtual panorama. The format we used was QuickTime VR. I used an application called Panorama Factory and PhotoShop CS4; I stitched all the pictures together into a 360° cylindrical panorama and exported it as a QTVR file for QuickTime 7.
