I'm here in Shibuya crossing, Japan with my buddy, Peter from Little Planet.-- Hi
everyone!-- And Peter is one of the best 360 photographers in the entire world, or
the entire planet. He calls it little planet, I call it tiny planet.. And Peter
and I are going to shoot some awesome content here in Shibuya. We've got so
many cameras between us It's not even funny.
So we're going to get photo content, video content, and Peter is a DSLR-360
photographer, with a big-ass pole here, where he can gets 6 meters off the ground with
his DSLR. It's a 5D-- Yes, a 5DS. it's a 50-megapixel
sensor. Just for maximum resolution. It will be a crazy image over
here, I think. It will also be a stitching nightmare.-- Oh yes.-- I will deal with it.--
I got my GoPro Fusion, and a few of my other cameras, Theta V. And I'm gonna
try and get some awesome content as well. So, I think this is going to be a little
bit of a competition to see who can get the best shot. But it's got to be by the
end of the night. We can't be in post-production for weeks. So, let's see
which of us can get the best content, the tiny planet guy or the little planet guy.
So Peter, what are we doing?-- Well, we're going to set up my Nodal Ninja pole. It
will extend 6 meters up in the air. And I will attach some different cameras onto
it. The GoPro Omni, GoPro Fusion, Theta V, and my high-end DSLR camera.-- How are you going
to fight 6 million people coming towards you every 60 seconds?-- I'm going to use my
magic powers and do this.-- You have to get a selfie stick with one hand and try and
fight them all? This isn't just a regular DSLR. This is shooting a 360 photo with
a DSLR. It goes all the way around.--Oh, here it is.
EOS 5DS.-- 5DS-- Which is 50 megapixel.-- And which lens are you using? I'm using a
fisheye lens, 8-15mm. Because it's a full-frame sensor, I put it at 12
millimeters. And then I only need to take four pictures in every wind direction.
All right, we're going up. Everybody ready?-- Yes, let's do it.-- Here we go.
That's a $5,000 DSLR up there. It better not fall. So what are you doing now Peter?-- I'm
trying to make a connection, and I don't have a connection.-- Okay.-- So it's a remote
control. But because there are so many people here, that's an ongoing
issue with Wi-Fi and radio-controlled, wireless remote controllers,
is that there's a congestion of the radio signal. So I'm going to
double-check something. It's a great workout by the way.-- Oh yes. You're looking
buff buddy, looking buff.-- We are going up again.
I'm taking multiple shots by the way.
I'm doing also bracketing - 2 0 and + 2 EV, just to make sure I can measure
the light here down. But the light will be completely different upstairs.-- Yes--
I'm going to use one of these shots.-- And bracketing means
shooting a few shots at different exposures, with the idea of blending
them together later into either HDR, or if it's just way overexposed up there or
underexposed, he's got the option to use one of three
different exposures. Are we near getting the money shot?-- There will be a money
shot in there. I'm sure of that.-- All right.-- It takes a lot of preparation,
dedication and courage, I think. I don't know here.-- Are you happy with what you
see?-- I am very happy with what I see, actually. It looks dark on this
screen, but Lightroom can do miracles.
Let's switch cameras. I'm going to put the GoPro Omni on top of this pole.
And on top of that, I'm going to put the GoPro Fusion. So two cameras go up at
the same time.-- GoPro long, GoPro action.-- Yeah. I have a special technique for this.
I use this kind of separator, I call it. And then the GoPro won't block the view
of this one.-- I'm embarrassed to admit. One, I've never shot a 360 with the DSLR. And
two, I've never used the GoPro Omni. I only ever used point-and-shoot camera. So this
guy has done all the pro stuff that I have not. Okay, the Omni is rolling.-- People
will get dizzy now.-- There are lots of confused people staring at both of us.
But, they're also in awe, I think. How high is it Peter?-- Now it's really
extended 6 meters.-- 6 meters high.-- Yeah.-- There is about $5,000 worth of camera
equipment on a 6-meter pole?-- Yes.-- All right. Well, it let's just hope the wind stays
calm.
Look, it's Mario Cart. Where's Yoshi and Bowser? Hey Peter, I know you've got your
hands full, but can you hold this for me?-- Yes.-- I'm gonna get a tiny planet of
Shibuya crossing. Let's do it, let's do it. Come on, come on. Come on GoPro. All
right.
All right. Was that worth making a complete ass of myself?
We will find out right now. I don't think I was ready.-- Let's do it again?-- Yeah, I
think I'll have to do it again. Oh, look at that. That was quite cool actually.
Completely accidental, massive hands. Well, you know what, I'm gonna do a burst
shot. So it takes 30 photos in one second. I think that will turn out epic.
Then I'll invert it. Turn it into an inverted planet. And I bet you, that will
become one of my most popular ever Instagram posts, if I get it right.-- Are
you ready Ben?-- Yes, I'm ready.-- 3.-- Well no. Are you trying to kill me?-- That was only a
3.-- All right.-- 3-2-1, go!
Need one for safety. One for safety. It's waiting for all these people to
clear.
Oh, that's a risky business.-- Gotta do it for the gram, Peter. Do it for the gram.
So Peter arranged for a private tour of that platform up there, which is one of
the best views of Shibuya crossing. But they wouldn't let me up there. So, I'm
down here just taking tiny planet shots. And if we zoom in real close, you see,
right in the middle of a frame there's a pole. That's Peters Omni and GoPro Fusion
on top of that. So I'm sure he's getting some excellent, excellent views of that
rooftop, and nothing else. I can't wait to see the look on his face.
All right, he's back. Peter-- Hey, I'm back.-- how was the shoot?-- I think the
shoot was okay. If there was maybe one little problem, it's that I couldn't really stand
next to the glass windows. That would have been the perfect situation, I think.
But I think it will still be okay. I mean a 6-meter pole still helped me a lot
to achieve views that nobody else can see.
360 photo adventures Part 2. We're back in Shibuya crossing after
dinner. We have a new friend, Daniel from Columbia. And Peter has got
his Omni and Fusion out. And, what's first on the agenda? Are you're gonna go for
a timelapse?-- I'm going to do a timelapse and a normal recording with
the Omni. So the Fusion is doing it at five seconds interval, or no, a 0.5 second
interval for a timelapse. This is just a normal video or an 8K resolution 360 video.--
Okay, here is my friend Daniel in the red shirt and he's going to attempt a 360
shot with a DSLR in the middle of Shibuya crossing. The light stays green
for about 45 seconds. So he's posting up his monopod. Can he get this shot? Got to
swivel it 4 times, and hopefully get a good stitch. So he's using the wireless
remote there. It's activating the DSLR, and rotating it. One shot at a time.
Pressure is on. It's about halfway through. It seems we're going okay.
Oh, I think he's done it, I think he's done it. The taxis are coming. He's about
to get hit by a taxi, but he did it, he did it.
GoPro, take a photo. GoPro, take a photo. GoPro, take a photo. GoPro, take a photo.
GoPro, take a photo. GoPro, take a photo. GoPro, take a photo.
All right, let's avoid death.
I lived to see another day. It's a miracle.
This is probably the dumbest thing I've ever done. But it could end up
being the best thing I've ever done. So, we shall see. I'm doing a hand stand
in the middle of Shibuya crossing. Oh God. At least you'll get my death on camera.
All right.
That's it. that's what I'm gonna get away with. I'll take it. It worked perfect. Only took
two seconds, that's all I needed. I need those two seconds to go right, and
they did. Yeah I'm feeling good.
Look, there I am.
This is so cool. I can't
believe we're doing this. We're a bunch of massive 360 nerds. We
spent 4 hours here at one single location, getting every angle we
can possibly capture, in every way possible. Photo, video, tiny planet, 360.
We're obsessed. We need help Peter, we need help.-- Yeah, we definitely need help. So any
recommendations for help, type it out in the comments. All right, I think we've
captured every single angle of Shibuya crossing possible. We've been here for
4 hours now. Can you believe it? 4 entire hours, and I think I've got at least one
Instagram post from this little exploration, don't you think?--Yeah, I
think I have a little bit more even Ben, but I will post some little
planets on Instagram, on my Instagram page and on Facebook.-- Yeah, where can they find you?-- Well, they
can find me on
Yes, definitely check him out. Because like I said before, he's one of the best 360
photographers on planet Earth. And he shoots amazing tiny planets. So, I think
you guys will get a lot of inspiration from his Instagram post and his Facebook
page. So, definitely check him out. Also, hit that subscribe button down below
