The Story

Can you create a motion blur in a panorama?”

There was a pause before Eric answered. “No…” was his first response, followed slightly later by “maybe… I could try… Why?" I explained further, taking the idea of a car chase, and pushing it, shooting the whole thing as a panorama. Eric got really excited, but his excitement was tempered by that question. Was what we wanted to do even possible? We were bound and determined to try. Not only had this shoot never been done before, as far as we knew, but it sounded like it would be a fun and challenging shoot.

Tests

Eric did a test, taking a panorama he had shot of a golf course, and adding in the motion blur effect. It looked ridiculous, but promising.

The next step was another test. Figuring out if the cars could be positioned so that the distortion of the panorama didn’t make them look too weird. We met up at a community college parking garage and shot the whole scene with a Ford Escape and a Nissan Altima. We stitched the panorama as we shot, adjusting and measuring the positioning of the cars. This test was also kind of ridiculous looking, but it looked like it was possible.
