It’s just about bike cruising season, and German photographer Jonas Ginter is getting us stoked to hop on a ten-speed and coast all day with his awesome 360° timelapse video. The one-minute clip morphs a simple bike path into a panoramic, spherical world that makes the guy look as if he’s gliding on the very tip of a mini-planet. The hip-hop beats in the background only make this ride even more relaxed, man.
360° Video using 6 GoPro Cameras – spherical panorama timelapse from j0n4s on Vimeo.
Bremen wrote on his website that it took him more than two years to get the effect he desired. He explained, „I’ve tried a lot of funny things in the last few years” to tinker with panoramic photographs so they can become 360° worlds. He screwed cameras on a turntable, tested out designs with mirrors, and eventually realized that he needed to use many cameras to achieve the real-deal timelapse in one take. Thus, with help from a 3D-printer, he made a structure that supported six GoPro cameras.
The result is undeniably awesome and worth the two years of trial-and-error. As a work friend aptly noted when sending me this video a couple hours ago, „this has so many vibes.” I couldn’t agree more. Thank you Jonas. This video is the de facto ribbon-cutter for bike cruising season.
