Blimey, I'm tired!
Katie and I are creating
free 360 VR videos and we just ended a massive three week mission to capture
the carnage of Carnaval in Cadiz and Las Fallas in Valencia. These two Spanish festivals are wild
and not the safest place for a 360 camera!
We haven't released the videos from Carnaval yet, but we shared Las
Fallas more or less as it happened. This festival is more captivating than Rio Carnaval in my opinion (I've been to both
twice and love both!)
Using #LasFallasVR, we created 16
experiences over three weeks for anyone with a headset (headphones recommended as
well) to immerse themselves in a REAL LIFE series of events that ended this
week.
This is where I believe the strength of 360
video lies. I truly believe it offers viewers the opportunity to experience something new, or to get a peek into their past. Sometimes it's a nostalgic experience (like a wedding)… Other times
it's an experience you never thought you'd have.
Las Fallas can now be added to the library
of experiences on offer. You can feel like you are part of the festival, as our videos
immerse you in the festival.
Get a quick taste of the festival, by starting
with the experience from this week's closing ceremony. It involves burning 700
structures around the city in a series of escalating fires.
You can dance to the music and soak up the atmosphere
of the opening ceremony!
We have a comedic documentary from last
year (in English, Spanish, and Valenciano) that really immerses you in the
festival! You can experience this three-week celebration in just 24 minutes.
You can observe our favourite structures (Fallas) from 2019 while listening to the constant firecrackers that are the
soundtrack to the festival.
You can feel the pounding of the Mascleta, which is an
INCREDIBLY LOUD firecracker display that occurs every day for 19 days and blows
your ears off!
You can trip to Pink Floyd or Michael Jackson while watching a psychedelic light show.
I'm linking to our YouTube channel but our
videos are also available on Facebook 360, VeeR, SamsungVR, Littlstar and Vimeo. We do this so as many people as possible can enjoy on our experiences!
Please subscribe to our YouTube channel, as
we have very few followers on this platform and it's the only one that allows
monetisation (man gotta eat and I ain't on a fruit ninja diet!)
As I said, it's been a lot of work
producing his content for the VR community and we're grateful for all the love
(especially this!)
From Friday, we're back to our travel VRlog with a series that
culminates in a trip to another wild fire festival in western Spain.
Please let us know what you think about our
360 content (yes, it's mono…) We're desperate for feedback so we can improve
and give people what they want.
TLDR: Experience the mad burning of intricate
artwork at Las Fallas festival in 360 VR. Start here and please subscribe!
