First Myspace Shoot Completed - The Rainbow, Birmingham

Today was a first for the team here at Total Panorama, we completed our first Virtual Tour for a business running their marketing operations from Myspace. With the Myspace generation growing in numbers, pubs and clubs have started using it for their promotion campaigns.

The Rainbow, in Birmingham, is one of the most popular venues in the UK and its nights are consistently sold out. The owners of The Rainbow wanted a new marketing and promotional tool, which is where Total Panorama come into the frame.

We provided them with three 360 Images within a Virtual Tour Template of the facities at the venue, these were:

-The Bar; a warm up area for The Rainbows many club nights
-The Lounge Room; where weekly film nights are held
-The Courtyard; an outside area with a retractable roof for club, open mic and various other nights at The Rainbow.

The Virtual Tour is now a main feature on their Myspace page, www.myspace.com/rainbowevents, and is already helping them to attract more big name DJs from around the world. We also provided The Rainbow with Panoramic Images of their facilities which are being used for all of their future promotions.

We would like to thank The Rainbow and wish everyone who makes the venue what it is all the best for the rest of 2007.

Hunter Tree Care 360 Image

Here at Total Panorama, we pride ourselves on diversity, taking on difficult and unusual jobs. It’s what we believe Virtual Tour photography was developed for. So when James Hunter, a tree surgeon from Hunter Tree Care, approached us we jumped at the oportunity he was presenting us with. James was in the process of having a website built for his company, Hunter Tree Care, so required photography of a recently completed project. To stay ahead of the competition, James considered 360 images and contacted us at Total Panorama.

He required a before and after shot to demonstrate to clients that he can handle any size and type of tree or hedge work. However, instead of the normal before and after shots, we concluded an interactive before and after shot would be more beneficial. This would let potential clients immerse themselves within James’ work and get a feel for the new environments Hunter Tree Care creates once the work is complete.

We would like to wish James and all at Hunter Tree Care every success when his website goes live and thank him for the opportunuity to work outside of the box.

Kenny's recently left the market stall to expand the business in a nearby retail premises. Along with this new venture the owner wanted to use the Internet to further the customer base. A major attraction to Kenny's Underwear is the excellent care and service provided to all customer in an inviting environment.

The owner wanted the website to portrait the environment of the shop to encourage customers to visit the new location. Therefore a 360 Image was the natural solution as it shows customers exactly what the shop environment is like.

Also the 360 Image is going to be a part of the businesses new marketing campaign to alert new and existing customers to the move.

Boardroom Skatepark 360 Image

We have recently completed a 360 image for the Boardroom Skatepark in Leicester. The 360 Image was shot in the middle of the skate park and gives an excellent view of the whole park, including its infamous bowl and vert wall. The Boardroom are currently having a new website developed and saw a 360 Image as an excellent way to attract more skaters to the park.
Boardroom

Skaters can immerse themselves in the park and will be able to see what lines and set up the park has, better than standard photography, once the new website is live. We are extremely happy to work with the Boardroom to provide them with the 360 Image, as it will greatly improve the skate parks image and customer base.

"The 360 Image is brilliant. It really shows off the park to it's full
potential, allowing people to see what it is like before they come down and
skate." Dave - Boardroom Skatepark Owner

We would like to wish Dave and the Boardroom team all the success for their new site.
