Future Publishing were asked to oversee the production of a new piece of publicity for Canon in the UK and Europe to show the quality of image from a new fisheye VR180 lens that has just hit the market. The new EOS VR system allows users to shoot immersive VR footage when pairing the lens with the Canon R5 camera and comes with software that assists with stitching fisheye stereo footage into fisheye rectilinear.
Future asked Richard Stegman to DoP and Mary Matheson to film the piece, and we Pollen Studio were asked to assist with post production, colour grading, sound mix and the final exports. All of the footage was filmed in 8K30p, which required some fast processing power and a streamlined workflow to be able to edit and preview in realtime, with the expertise to consult over correct colour spaces for delivery.
