Behind the Scenes — Filming Tigers in 360° Virtual Reality01 / An Unexpected Encounter
Chance meeting.
Extraordinary footage.
This shoot easily ranks in our top 10 most unforgettable and unexpected filming experiences. While recording a commercial 360° video on location, a spectator approached our crew, fascinated by our spherical multi-lens camera setup and curious about how Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are transforming the world.
After a captivating discussion on immersive technology, he invited our team to his private property to film something truly unique. Expecting a novel architectural feature or classic car collection, we stepped into his private sanctuary and were greeted face-to-face with two breathtaking tigers—a majestic golden Bengal tiger and a rare white tiger.
We placed our panoramic 360° rig right inside the enclosure, capturing pure unscripted curiosity as these magnificent apex predators approached and investigated the camera lens.
