A 360° Heist Inspired by Battlefield Hardline
Ever wanted to experience a bank heist filmed in a revolutionary 360 degree perspective – seen from the loot’s perspective? Yeah, we had a hunch. Now you can – thanks to the tech wizards over at Kogeto and their professional-grade panoramic camera Jō. Fans of Battlefield Hardline surely will feel right at home in this interactive vid, dubbed “The Heist”.
Heist
This action-packed short film would not have been possible without the Jō camera, originally funded on Kickstarter. Jō is equipped with a custom optic integrating a convex mirror, together with a collection of custom parts and code. The camera films the mirror – which reflects the image from all directions – then custom software turns that distorted circular image into a panoramic film strip.
So what does this mean to you? You’ll be thrown right into the action, controlling what the loot “sees” as the robbers are pulling off their bank job. You can pause, rewind, and replay the clip to see things you might have missed the first time.
Will The Heist be successful? Will the cops or criminals get hold of the loot? Will there be explosions (hint: yes)? Go find out. There is no need for a special app – just hit the mobile-friendly link below to navigate in The Heist.
