Hey guys, I am helping out on a documentary that's being shot in China & the subject of shooting spherical panoramas came up. For what these guys are doing, I don't really think there's a need to shoot HDRI's, but I do think having panoramas would come in handy.
The problem is, I'm being peppered with questions by the DP about the subject (things like, "this requires a nodal head, right?") and honestly I've never shot a single panorama in my life. I think the DP is way overcomplicating & overthinking things, but since I have no experience I don't want to give him bad advice or information. I sent him a link to the sIBL tutorial page ( http://www.hdrlabs.com/tutorials/ ) and that just added to the amount of questions I'm being hit with. So I was hoping someone on the list might have some experience with this subject & could share some info & advice. Thanks, Paul ᐧ
