360° Flash virtual tour

I recently completed a virtual tour for a wine estate outside Cape Town, and had a blast doing it!

Creating such a multimedia experience requires not only top-of-the-range equipment, but also requires the use of many techniques and softwares. I believe the result is worth the time spent.

The pictures were shot in High Res using my 12mp Canon 5D and a Nodal Ninja panoramic head I imported from Europe.

The pictures were then stitched together using AutoPano, retouched in photoshop, and then animated into a Flash panoramic virtual tour using krPano.

You can see the result on this page. Enjoy!
