GigaPan Test

Recently George Quelch and I had another go at looking for ways to do Stop motion in 360 degrees and we think this is the best option. We did a test shot using a special camera stand called a GigaPan Pro which is a motorized stand that is designed for taking really big landscape photos, but we managed to make it do a full 360 picture. It works by taking lots of pictures in a sequence and then we can stitch them all together to get the full image.
Above is a picture of the stand itself.
Above is the final fully stitched picture it took, over all the camera took about 70 pictures for this one frame, it took about five minutes for it to move around and take all the photos and the final uncompressed photo was over 3gb so its safe to say this method has solved the quality issues of the other methods we have tested.
