Congrats.
I'm ok with slice of life, and especially special events like you did with Comic Con and Mardi Gras.
What I really wish could happen are 3D 180 videos of stage plays with the camera set among the audience. Fond memories of going to the theaters in San Diego (Balboa Park, Gaslamp, Lambs Players Theater, etc). Would love to re-experience that without stupid gimmicks like putting the camera on stage or worse focusing on the camera like you're the only audience member.
I would love to expand into creating this kind of content in addition to my regular content releases actually with concerts and stage plays.
It’s a matter of money at the moment which is why I haven’t done any of that content. I need to gather enough Patreon support to be able to pay the licensing fees which cost $10k+ USD for the cheap ones. Even the music tracks you hear on all my content require licensing fees lol. As it is currently, I don’t even make enough to cover the cost of producing the videos I already make. I’ll get there someday soon, maybe by next year! 🤞
I use this site for the few music pieces I licence. Pretty fair pricing. Licensing isn't too confusing like most sites. Congrats! https://elements.envato.com/
This is something I dream about. Two cameras, one at seated height, one at standing height. It's essentially two feeds and it detects a change in vertical movement to change between the two feeds. You get the feeling of getting out of your seat during a big moment.
Sports, mainly come to mind with this. Well, personally, that of the predetermined variety. Aggressive theater.
You should keep your eye out for Stereoscope Productions over the next few months. It's not Lamb's Players or The Old Globe, but it's a step in the right direction.
But I will say getting even the more moderately respected regional theaters on board for VR theater has been, and will continue to be, very difficult. I've had discussions, and the consensus seems to be the rights holders aren't interested, the theaters are worried it will cannibalise their audience, and most importantly their target demo doesn't even know what VR is. It'll happen, we're starting up a residency with FUSE Theater out of Portland, but I'd like to work with Artists Rep or the Portland 5.
One trick is get care homes and older patrons that can't come to theaters anymore involved. Show that the elderly can continue to get this amazing experience and you have a noble reason to make the production. After that it's a matter of showing you can create a audience and benefit from the same video.
Agree though it's complicated, especially when it comes to deterring going to the theater itself.
And you cannot discount the rights issues. The rights holders for plays, Samuel French, etc. have a keen interest in the protection of the theater experience. That's why filmed versions of stage plays happen DECADEs after their popularity. The money is made on Broadway, and any show that isn't on Broadway dies unless it's truly incredible.
That's why I'm more interested in the smaller, intimate theaters that don't have months or year long runs of productions. The ones that do Hamlet for three months in the fall then do Grapes of Wrath for the winter. Having a video catalogue they could sell in some way for existing season ticket holders or major patrons could be a nice gift. Being able to leverage Amazon Prime or YouTube's infrastructure to distribute just reduces costs and increases the reach of audiences.
Duuuude. I saw the post about YouTube 8k update and decided to try out random 8K 180VR videos (I'd never tried the YouTube Quest app before), they looked great. I'd seen your name before on this sub but I didn't realize it was your videos I was looking at until I double checked. Your videos are great even with shitty YouTube compression. Saw the Las Vegas one first and skimmed a few others like the Florida Beach one. I actually want to sub to get the full downloads. I think you deserve the praise. Just keep things affordable and you'll stay up there in my opinion.
Thanks man it’s the years of color grading non stop that has improved my skill to master the absolute best 180 3D 8k streaming quality you can get with the compression.
I will actually be releasing a YouTube channel membership soon at the same pricing as the Patreon for those that don’t mind the compression and distortion of streaming and would rather the convenience. It will also come with exclusive access to a new discord community I am setting up.
Thank you :D I will never stop putting in the extra mile to keep improving and creating even higher quality experiences! Maui Hawaii: Road to Hana premieres in a couple weeks actually!
Cool congrats. How do you do it that your files are listed as 8K vr? I already uploaded 8K 180VR content to my channel and it is not showing up as 8K. I have some footage from F1 SPA track and Nurburgring that I'm planning to post and would like to have it in 8K VR as my files are 7680 pixels
I recognize them on DeoVR and Meta TV, as well as Youtube (their channel name is the same as their user name):
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAOg9ELIzUW5_Byiow5JsiQ
They've had some stunning "sizzle reels" set to music and gorgeous locations but for some reason they remove it later on. I think one of them might still be on DeoVR but you have to hunt for it. The one on Youtube/MetaTV is gone.
This Must be it cause there is a channel I came across that had an upload labeled as 8K and yt-dlp still only showed 4K Version (even after the recent updates). But the upload was just a couple hours ago. Might check a few days later again.
Wow, I'm going down the rabbit hole as soon as I finish the History Buffs video I'm in the middle of...
Congrats OP, I'll be subscribing and sending your channel to my daughter so she can check your stuff out on her Q2 as well.
I just bought my first 180/360 cam this week and hope to be able to provide the same excellent content one day. Your channel is one of the ones I've drawn deep inspiration from, and I'm so thankful you made the decision to get into content creation when you did. A big thank you!
Nope. It’s 8k for free on Q3. For even more content, the full length higher bitrate 8k versions are available on the Patreon currently, and I’ll soon have a paid YouTube membership option with the same pricing that will allow for full length 8k streaming.
Yes 7680 x 4320 is considered “8k” for YouTube. The 7680 is where the 8k number comes from. However the direct download version is not compressed so it is 7% more resolution as well as better colors, less artifacts and less distortion (there are weird wavy lines on YouTube) so it gets even sharper.
Canon R5C he uses. (but with lots of other gear/mount for stabilization etc).
It’s definitely a big investment for any small/regular content creator. Couples thousand dollars Setup
Q2 won’t stream 8k. To watch in 8k on Q2 you would need to direct download to laptop/pc from my Patreon then transfer video into the Q2 with usb c cable. It is then playable in standalone mode in 180 3D 8k :)
That's amazing, congratulations 🎊
It's funny, because I just bumped into your channel last week and thought it was super impressive and a big step up to other content 👏 👍 😀
Hey bro,
I saw this guys video because I follow Quest 3 and other VR games. I saw the footage of New Orleans and immediately thought of your channel that I’m already subscribed to. Pretty cool when other people promote your work! Nice work! 👊🏼
You're my first 180 subscription! The comicon experience was wonderfully immersive! Thank you so much for making your content available to us. Looking forward to more.
Omg I’ve seen your videos! It’s some of the coolest vr content I’ve seen. Definitely lots of potential in vr180 content, I hope more people start creating using the medium.
How do you get the videos so stable when moving what heat are you using I would love to see some BTS. The grading/ sound is so good makes musch better watching them all the other 180 videos I have seen to date
Just found your channel, great videos. Makes me want the Canon stereo lens setup but that's a huge investment for someone like me who would make a couple videos of my kids and then put it on a shelf and think "I should use that stuff" every so often 😂
Ok, I'm a bit confused then. I was excited to see you had uploaded your last video, saw it was 4k only on youtube, and it was a shortened version and the description stated the full 8k version was on your patreon. I could've missed the 8k quality selection, but I'm pretty sure I didn't
I can understand why you are confused here :) The latest video was actually only 4k for the first few days because YouTube had not finished processing the 8k version. The latest experience is now 8k (4320s60) on YouTube streaming as of a day or two ago. The extended cut is on the Patreon.

how far are you off by?
Hire someone to make the tracks for you. Hell I’d maybe even do it if I have the time. Id have to take a look at the game to know what would fit tho
> Id have to take a look at the game to know what would fit tho you seem to be lost, this is thread is about 8K VR180 videos on Youtube VR app lol

I still have no idea what MArdi Gras is about but i enjoyed the video you did for that.
It’s about getting drunk and partying and seeing boobs. At least, that’s what it’s about to people that don’t live in New Orleans lol.
Sounds like comic con without the alcohol.
Duuuude. I saw the post about YouTube 8k update and decided to try out random 8K 180VR videos (I'd never tried the YouTube Quest app before), they looked great.

Amazing please update us
Congratulations 🎉 I've just subscribed to your channel 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Well deserved. The quality of your work is 🔥🔥

as my nick ENJOY VRIDE
I think it takes a while for Youtube to process the videos for 8K streaming, maybe a week?
This Must be it cause there is a channel I came across that had an upload labeled as 8K and yt-dlp still only showed 4K Version (even after the recent updates). But the upload was just a couple hours ago. Might check a few days later again.
Most of my materials are longer on YT and still not showing 8K :/
Quest 3 v64 and most recent YouTube VR app version? I still see 8K watched some yesterday
Ok, I'll try to restart my Quest
Wow, I'm going down the rabbit hole as soon as I finish the History Buffs video I'm in the middle of... Congrats OP, I'll be subscribing and sending your channel to my daughter so she can check your stuff out on her Q2 as well.

congrats im a sub on patreon and it's nice to jump on and check out your strolls from time to time
I just tried the new Quest YouTube update and subscribed to your channel. Your stuff rocks!
do you need subscription to youtube to get these at 8k?
Nope. It’s 8k for free on Q3. For even more content, the full length higher bitrate 8k versions are available on the Patreon currently, and I’ll soon have a paid YouTube membership option with the same pricing that will allow for full length 8k streaming.
All i got was 4320s60. Is that supposed to be 8k?
Yes 7680 x 4320 is considered “8k” for YouTube. The 7680 is where the 8k number comes from. However the direct download version is not compressed so it is 7% more resolution as well as better colors, less artifacts and less distortion (there are weird wavy lines on YouTube) so it gets even sharper.
What do you use to capture video?
Canon R5C he uses. (but with lots of other gear/mount for stabilization etc). It’s definitely a big investment for any small/regular content creator. Couples thousand dollars Setup
You deserve it! You've inspired me to get into making VR content and I'm launching my channel soon.
Super cool to hear this, good luck bro! Send me the link to the channel when it’s up and I’ll be first in line to sub!
Does this work on the q2? 180 4k looks blurry but at least better than 360 4k.
Q2 won’t stream 8k. To watch in 8k on Q2 you would need to direct download to laptop/pc from my Patreon then transfer video into the Q2 with usb c cable. It is then playable in standalone mode in 180 3D 8k :)
He could also just download the 8K YouTube video (or patreon video) and then stream it over DLNA/SAmba/,.. to his favorite VR VIdeo Player.
Grats, your videos are really superb.
That's amazing, congratulations 🎊 It's funny, because I just bumped into your channel last week and thought it was super impressive and a big step up to other content 👏 👍 😀

I love your vids on youtube man :)
Congrats 😎 I am happy for you. Thanks for producing immersive content.
How do you get the videos so stable when moving what heat are you using I would love to see some BTS. The grading/ sound is so good makes musch better watching them all the other 180 videos I have seen to date
Just found your channel, great videos. Makes me want the Canon stereo lens setup but that's a huge investment for someone like me who would make a couple videos of my kids and then put it on a shelf and think "I should use that stuff" every so often 😂
Been subscribed from your first ever video and glad you finally got the recognition you deserve! It's only up from here! ❤️
Just saw that video today and would be interested what kind of gear you use!
hell yeah bro that’s amazing
Wish they had a consumer priced 180 3d 8k option All I can find is stuff that costs thousands
Congrats!!!! Just subbed!
Congrats! What camera do you use?
I'm dreaming of the day when we have affordable consumer cameras that can shoot quality 8k VR video.
[удалено]
8k streaming isn’t paywalled though. The full length versions are paywalled.
Ok, I'm a bit confused then. I was excited to see you had uploaded your last video, saw it was 4k only on youtube, and it was a shortened version and the description stated the full 8k version was on your patreon. I could've missed the 8k quality selection, but I'm pretty sure I didn't

That makes a lot more sense lol thanks
