360 / VR

Here are the 360/VR projects I worked on, mostly from many productions with GoPro and the Kolor Team,
capturing, editing and trying some advanced VR post production tools, but also some more underground projetcs with music event and drift car competitions.

 

GOPRO | FUSION LAUNCH VIDEOS

As a VR Specialist working at GoPro for few years, back in Septembre 2017 they invite me to spend 3 weeks of work with the Media Team in the HQ at San Francisco, working on post-production to clean and help finalize the 360 shots for the launch videos release of their new Fusion Camera.

I also worked on converting the 360 edits for the projection in the dome for the presentation, finding solutions to display flat content in a spherical video (things that was not easy at this time, but now there is some plugins to solves that need).

 

KING OF TOUTGE 2017 | EUROPEAN DRIFT COMPETITION

No Reality is a new project we start with a friend, where we will immerse you in cool events with new technology.

Here a 360 experience putting you sitting in cars for a Drift competition and made almost 1 milions views total.

 

GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS | NBA CHAMPIONSHIPS

In 2017 I had the chance to edit this entire video by myself (including 360 post-production, edit and color grading) few months before the GoPro Fusion was released.
The Golden State Warriors from Oakland had just won the NBA championships in 2017, and the GoPro Media Team was invited to capture the parade with a prototype of Fusion that we were still in developpement. They send me all of the files and I only had less than one week to make something with it with the Stiching and Reframing tools that we was working on in France.

So I worked with the developpers in the Alps office to have fonctionnal tools able to stitch the files, all being still in beta, and finally came to this edit that made million views.
An overcapture / reframing version was made also but never released.

 

GOPRO | FUSION ANNOUNCEMENT

I have worked on post-production to clean the footages, making disapear the mount, the shadows, stabilizing the shots manually and correct defaults of stitching due to the alpha firmware and software. It was the first public video from the GoPro Fusion camera.

 

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER | 360 SHOW

In 2016 I had the chance to work with Jean-Paul Gaultier to capture and edit his entire Spring-Summer 2017 show in 360 with multiple GoPro Omni to experiment a new collaboration and high quality use-case.

I’ve also made a "Behind the stitch" (BTS) for Kolor's software users to explain the workflow editing this kind of 360 videos.

 

HADRA RESILIENCE 2018 | PSYTRANCE EVENT

Experimenting 360 videos using Fusion, Mettle Mantra VR and reframing for one of the biggest indoor Psytrance party in France by HADRA.

 

BOOM FESTIVAL 2018 | INSIDE THE ALCHEMY CIRCLE

One shot sequence captured with GoPro Fusion and reframed in post-production to immerse you in this crowd of amazing people super reactive to the music.

 

GOPRO | JETPACK MAN

We had the occasion to sent a GoPro Omni rig to the team of David Mayman to capture his jetpack ride in Monaco. I made a simple edit with that, and it finish published on the GoPro main channel. 

 

GOPRO | OMNI PROMO HIGHLIGHTS

The GoPro Omni was just released, the first 360 camera by GoPro that we worked on with the Kolor Team.
I made this reframed version of the 360 edit made by the US Media Team, highlighting the best Omni footage they had, including our epic shot on the Champs-Elysée during the Tour de France 2016.
This reframed version was played at different GoPro events around the world to promo the camera.

 

TOUR DE FRANCE 2016 | GOPRO OMNI

During summer 2016 we was shooting 360 videos for one of the most popular event in the world, Le Tour de France !
They wanted to try 360 technology and they already had a partnership with GoPro, so the Media Team was looking for the only European guys they knew capable of shooting and edit 360: my colleagues Loic Bailliard, Loic Lanoir, and me.
We follow the Tour for 10 stages, 15 days of shooting with Omni, stitching and editing footage at night to send our best shot to the organisation that they can publish them day by day, had only 1 or 2h of sleep by nights, but it was so cool, and that was a huge evolution in my career at GoPro.
The original publications on Facebook have achieved more than 1 million views.

 
 

GOPRO | IVRPA 2016 ANNOUNCEMENT

I’ve create this short teaser to announce the presence of Kolor at the IVRPA event 2016.
It was one of the first time that Reframing was used to convert 360 spherical content to a standars video, so it was at this moment we really start realized the potential in reframing 360 videos and start experimenting that.

 

FREEFLY EXPERIENCE | AUTOPANO VIDEO 3

We sent a GoPro Omni to a partner, Jakob Aungiers and his friends making a very great basejump from a plane, and I made this simple edit and also a reframed version few month later to tease the new version of Kolor Autopano Video 3.
