Livestream: Holi Festival!

Here is my first livestream video with a 360 camera – it’s a little hard to film and participate in a Holi Festival at the same time, but it actually turned out a lot better than I expected!

*If you’re on your phone, you may have to watch the video directly in the YouTube app to get the full 360 effect.

Holi is a festival in India that celebrates the coming of spring. The holiday traditions include music/dancing, food – and of course, throwing colored powder at each other!

I was excited when I got an email about the event because I have always wanted to go to a Holi festival! The Indian Cultural Exchange group on campus threw the event and did an amazing job.

A Day in the Life – in 360!

Ever wondered what I do daily? Probably not, but here is a neat 360 video of my day anyways!

Those those unfamiliar with 360 videos – while watching the video below, click and drag on the video to see the video from different angles!

*If you’re on your phone, you have may have to open the video in the YouTube app for the 360 to work.

Please excuse the “ant” quality, I will try to fix that ASAP.

This was a fun project to make and I’m glad that I’ll have this unique video to look back on!

360 Tour of my Dorm!

For my first 360 tour, I decided to show off my dorm room – since I live on campus and am sure most classmates have already seen the rest of MTSU. I live on Greek Row, so I am fortunate to have one of the bigger rooms offered on campus. Honestly, each time I move back to school I pack fewer personal items and mainly only bring along the essentials – but I think even with just the few items I have around my dorm, my personality can be seen.

I’m not sure what went wrong, but for some reason the tour doesn’t go over to my roomie’s side of the room – even though I did take photos for it. But I’m still pretty proud of how my first attempt turned out, although I will try to come up with a better camera stand for next time. Overall, I am excited about using a 360 camera; I may even make some tours of my favorites spots in Knoxville, while I am home over spring break!

Introduction

Hey everyone!

This is my introduction for the Interactive Media Applications class I am a part of, but it can also be an interesting read for any viewers of my blog.

My name is Cleopatra Collier, most people just call me Cleo. I live in Knoxville, Tennessee with my mother and two siblings (Marc and Tigerlily). I am extremely close to my family. My mother is like a best friend, but more so since she loves me unconditionally. My brother is close to my age and also attends MTSU; he is an Apparel Design major. My sister is ten years younger than me, but we have a lot of common interests. My father lives somewhere else and mainly focuses on his church. I love hanging out with my family – whether we are going on a trip or just chilling at home, we always manage to have a good time.
