Cool videos. And your music also?

[gdavidson]

Thanks Gary. Yes, my music too... I don't know what to make of my own music. Sometimes it seems like a good idea at the time and later I think otherwise!

Very impressive!

What do you use to distort your images?

Thank you! They're a by-product of stitching together images to make 360 degree views (these are made from 21 images) . I use Autopano Giga for stitching but I'm sure PTGui could do it too. They are then "projected" is what is known as stereographic projection or "little planet". I then used a Ken Burns type Pan and Zoom in my video editor to give animation. Take a horrendous amount of time to do but it was an interesting exercise

Whatever you use, it's very effective.

Music in both videos is awesome and fits well.
