The cyclorama theater had its day in the sun!
The Narrative in the Round class had been tasked with building this, on the 9th floor of Tisch, and a team lead by Caleb Carr got it set up. However, the rear projection setup meant that there was some strange distortion on the top edge of the screens, which detracted from the overall effect.
I figured out how to correct the distortion, and re-rendered all the movies, so we were able to see the cyclorama in action (shortly before it was taken down). It’s an interesting experience – you can’t really appreciate 360 degree footage until it is projected all around you..
I will post details of how the cyclorama was built, and how to process footage for it on my NYU homework blog.
