The special effects are irritating. Guess I'm old and crusty...

The 360 thing is probably just the same camera on a stick that attaches to the helmet which they've had for a while. This is a friend of mine who rides/works for GoPro. This is pretty primitive but I'm sure the concept has been worked on by GoPro since he did this. Imagine a helmet mounted 360 degree camera that the viewer can control. ie:James Stewart footage from St Louis is posted, while watching it you the viewer can alter your view at any point during the video, forwards, backwards, sideways, slantways, etc. I don't have any firsthand knowledge but if it isn't available in the next couple of years I'll be shocked.

Haha that is really funny, I contact GoPro about a 360 view method that another guy was using. Thought that would be awesome to get the options to view races in a 360 view....the method in the video you posted is not a very clean method, it requires the end result to be stitched together and also not practical for James Stewart to run 20 Go Pros on his head....that might mess with his head a bit. There crazy mirror forms that use one GoPro. Since the GoPro shoots 4k now the resolution is totally acceptable. Check it out here: GoPro 360 Mirror

With that you can also tie in the oculus goggles and look around up and down to see exactly what the rider would see....too cool.....





GoPro did not seem interested at all when I showed them this, not sure why they aren't supporting it more. Maybe wasn't showing the right person. My dream was to be able to watch supercross live and be able to look around and view it live. How cool would that be. Plus down the road movies could implement similar setup. Imagine watching a movie where my experience is entirely different than yours etc. You could watch the same film multiple times and find new details. Screw 3D....360 is the new view. Beyond that move into Augmented Reality, but that's a whole different conversation.

Not sure which special effects your talking about, but...

If you are talking about that "pivoting camera" that spins circles around him when he's riding? That's just friggin queer. I'm wondering if people out there actually like to watch footage like that? Or if they like it because its new and different? Cool? Not hardly... Maybe I'm old and crusty too...

It's a tool in the toolbox. It shouldn't be the toolbox. I think they did it cleanly.
