On August 17th, the former French Colony Gabon has been independent from France for 50 years. yellowBird was asked to shoot specific 360º content that could be showed in a 25 meter wide stratosphere delivered by LM-Productions during ten days of celebrating fifty years of independence.

For this project we shot some amazing content of  the key elements characterizing Gabon.  From the green jungle to the beautiful beaches, from traditionally dressed people to filming the Transgabonais train and shooting in 360º from a helicopter. Everything was covered and each aspect representing this country has been made available in full 360º degree glory.

Together with the London based production company The Dark Room, yellowBird joined this project and delivered content that could be directly rendered to a 100% compatible dome projection format, thereby contributing to one of the first 360º documentaries for display in a stratosphere.

A selection of the photos taken during this project can be found on Facebook.

For the Dutch Air Traffic Control Centre, yellowBird was assigned by the Dutch creative agency Steam to integrate a 360º video in the main navigation panel of the site.

A stunning 360º video loop, shot on the air traffic control tower of Schiphol near Amsterdam, is the foundation of www.luchtverkeersleider.nl
(dutch for: air traffic controller).

Customizable hotspots float as buttons inside the video. Wannabe controllers will effectively have to look around for navigation options.

First of its kind, Ayza Wine & Chocolate Bar has it’s own 360 degree video virtual tour. This way it’s almost like your are actually there. You can navigate through the building by clicking the hotspots.

There are 4 areas you can visit: outdoor patio, dining room, kitchen and the rooftop. On the rooftop you can experience the awesome time-lapse of New York City. We think it is the best view ever of the Empire State Building.

The feeling of attending the Dutch beach festival Defqon.1 has been captured by yellowBird.

An event characterized by “the harder dance styles” like: hardstyle, hardcore, jump, hardtrance and techno has been concluded with splendid fireworks accompanied with amazing beats under the late summer sky.

The yellowBird crew even met  their old-time favourites Charlie Lownoise and Mental Theo, while capturing their performance on stage.

The music, the ambience, the feeling, the artists and moreover the enthousiastic crowd will soon be made available in full 360º by Q-dance & yellowBird

After the yellowBird LIVE launch in NYC, we were asked to capture the atmosphere inside and outside the Ayza Wine & Chocolate Bar in NYC for a Rich Media application that will display this trendy place and its impeccable dining experience in full 360º degree glory.

From standing on the street in front of the bar, you will be taken inside to become part of a full experience that eventually will lead you to the rooftop with a spectacular view of the Empire State building and its surroundings.

This project will become available as a cooperation between Ayza and yellowBird and will be shown in the Virtual Tour section of the Ayza website.

Thanks to Sebnem Tasci, we have a splendid collection of photographs of our work. Please check the yellowBird Facebook page for a selection.
