Case Study
How SyncBac VR captured and synchronised 360 degree video footage of ‘The Final’ Sensation dance show in the Netherlands
Our team were invited to capture footage of the Sensation dance show at Amsterdam Arena using the SyncBac VR solution. Called ‘The Final’, the sold-out event saw 50,000 party-goers donned in white attend the last of it’s kind in the Netherlands.
The set-up
A :pulse base station was used as the master timecode generator, while a PRO 10 and PRO 7 360RIZE rig with coordinating GoPro HERO4 cameras and SyncBac PRO units acquired footage from the DJ podium and orchestra over long range RF. You may think that controlling multiple GoPros is a challenge, however thanks to the BLINK Hub application, the status of the cameras were monitored remotely from a single device. In addition to this, an audio recorder and UltraSync ONE unit were connected to the venue’s sound recorder to take timecode in separately. After recording had finished, multiple timecode-stamped MP4 files were produced which were easily imported ready for stitching. No other manual work was required, making it simple for our team of two to capture what they needed.
The end result
Use our multi camera workflow, add a touch of creative editing and you could end up producing videos like the ones featured below.
The 360-degree video on the left allows you to navigate your way through a number of alternative angles with footage taken from the rigs. On the right, we’ve combined footage from the rigs and separate GoPro cameras around the venue to create a standard platform video. With our system you can create innovative and engaging content at an affordable price – making it ideal for showcasing across social media, websites and more.
