Imagine living in a seaside village inspired by the classic sophistication of the French Riviera but located at the French/Dutch border of chic Sint Maarten, between Simpson Bay and the Caribbean Sea. Mirador is a fabulous three bedroom three and one half bath condominium with spectacular views from the over 750 s.f. wrap-around terrace. The master bedroom has a large bath with dressing room, the kitchen is outfitted with top of the line appliances and there is a washer/dryer in the utility room. The master and second bedrooms have floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors onto to the terrace. The great room has room for a large dining table and generous entertainment and sitting area. This is a very comfortable home in a brand new development that is complete with restaurants, shops and a gourmet market.

Porto Cupecoy is a luxurious, private condominium community nestled around a seaside piazza, featuring international boutiques, renowned restaurants and a deep water white-glove marina with 54 boat slips. From the elegant Mediterranean-style architecture to the sumptuously designed interiors and gracious living spaces, you will instantly understand this is a special place.

We were commissioned to do a tour of Unit H6, shown at left. You can see our page with the final panorama tour produced for this condo here and also on the owner’s website here.

We typically shoot more than required to satisfy the job, but The Cliff is such a target rich environment and we got carried away.

The beautiful pools, the grand lobby and veranda, the grounds and the luxurious Dior Spa gave us a lot to work with. You can see another view of the variety of images we captured by visiting the 3D Photo Wall of stills taken from the panoramas.

A great deal of the marketing for Fink & Carney, a court reporting service, and the New York Video Conference Center, operating in the same offices, is done at conferences and legal trade shows. They also put a lot of effort into search marketing for their website, www.finkandcarney.com, which was designed by VenueView Inc.

For a trade show booth, the completely automated, high-resolution, full-screen panorama tour attracts visitors to the booth and acts as a very effective tool for showing the size and scope of the facility.

The tour done for the New York Video Conference Center is a good illustration of our on-site production process. By bracketing exposures and computer image blending, we can shoot without anything but the existing ambient lighting. This makes our hardware footprint very light — just camera and tripod!

The total time on location to shoot the nine panoramas in the tour was four hours. This included time for a walk-through of this beautiful office suite with the client and review what we would shoot, straightening all the pens, and blocking the position of each shot.

The time-consuming part of this process happens at the computer. It can take up to two hours per panorama to produce each final image, then anywhere from two to four hours to program the movements for the automated, self-running presentation.

Shooting catering venues is very challenging. The only time the rooms really look really fabulous is when someone has spent $30,000.00 on the decorations.

If you want to shoot the room with the floral arrangements and food, you can’t expect to have more than eight minutes to shoot. The waiters have delivered the last appetizer to the last table, there are five hundred people who want to sit down to dinner outside the door. The father of the bride wants to know what is holding things up?

We carefully plan out the shots in advance, then pounce when the last waiter leaves the room.

There are seven panoramas in the tour linked in the photo above. The client www.cupecoycondo.com chose from the sixteen panoramas shot over a three-day period in at The Cliff at Cupecoy Beach in St. Maarten.

We typically shoot quite a bit more than required by the job, but in a target rich environment like the Cliff we got a little carried away. The full sixteen panorama tour is available at The Cliff at Cupecoy Beach link in the Portfolio.

A high quality panorama tour is probably the best possible way to show off the fortune you just invested in completely rebuilding and redecorating your office suite.

VenueView has a strong commitment to encouraging the use of the panorama tour not as a techno-wiz feature on a website but as a way to have an extended conversation with your existing or prospective clients.

You and your client/prospect can drive around the suite using the panoramas to experience a detailed and informative discussion of what you have to show.

The Silver Towers, designed by I.M. Pei,  are a trio of residential buildings in Greenwich Village in New York City. The plaza has on of only two outdoor sculptures by Pablo Picasso.

This shot was done with the camera at about fourteen feet off the ground. “Pole” panoramas can add dramatic perspective to the scene and, in this case puts you a little more eye-to-eye with the Picasso.

We did two panoramas at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal illustrate our ability to find unconventional views of what might otherwise be routine perspectives on the scene. In this case the sign at the terminal looks pretty grand — from behind.

Also include is one panorama of a Soho boutique and one of a Soho loft kitchen. Two additional panoramas show a backyard barbecue at the Jersey Shore and the paddock crowd at the Belmont Stakes that “Big Brown” was sure to win.

The Cooliris 3D Photo Wall is a new and dramatic advance in presentation of large galleries of photos. To get the full effect of the wall, click on the double-arrow icon at the lower right of the image area to create a full-screen view of the wall. When you click on an individual image, it comes forward and fills the screen. At the bottom center of the screen you will see a small icon that turns the wall into a slide-show.

The stills in the 3D Photo Wall above come from the sixteen panoramas we shot when covering a project for Unit H6 at The Cliff.

The Cliff at Cupecoy Beach is an elegant, quiet and secure luxury condominium on the “Gold Coast” in the Lowlands of St. Maarten. This illustrates the Cooliris application and its amazing speed and dramatic presentation of dozens or hundreds of photos.
