QTVR Panoramas - Development Process, cont'd

Once you've completed the planning process for panoramas, you're ready for the next phase - capturing the source images you'll use to create the panorama. This stage should encompass:

1. Preparing the site and equipment
2. Capturing the source images
   1. Capture using 35mm camera/lens
   2. Capture using video
3. Capture production tips

1) Preparation and Setup for Panorama Image Capture

Preparing to capture the source images for a panorama involves three main tasks:

• preparing documentation
• preparing the site
• preparing the image capture equipment

DOCUMENTATION - preparing documentation in advance of capturing images is one of the most overlooked tasks of QTVR production. And, therefore, it is also one of the tasks that is most regretted when it isn't done! This is especially true when you are capturing images for a number of panoramas during the same session. The documentation useful during image capture will simplify not only the image capture process itself, but also the production steps you'll perform many days later as you convert your source images into a completed QTVR panorama.

The documentation tasks should include: creating the shot sequence if capturing images for more than one panorama creating a title page for each panorama labeling film rolls and containers to match the respective panorama number preparing a documentation notebook to record special conditions or situations during the shoot
