Virtual Renovation
I was getting tired of not being able to get wide enough photos of my house so I thought it might be cool to see the before and after drywall photos as panoramic Quicktime movies. Turned out to be a lot harder than I thought. I tried virtually every kind of software for the mac for stitching together multiple photos. I also did a lot of tedious hand photo retouching with 30 plus photos or each panorama. And the final result is kind of okay. Or maybe they're great and I've just lost perspective after staring at them for so long. Now they just make me queasy to watch spinning around.
The good news is I found a very nice and elegant program called Double Take that stitches together multiple photos to make wide angle shots. I think the wide angle shots are a lot easier to look at.

These are awesome! I wish everybody would do these, they are really fun to look at. And I don't see any seems.

Wow, pretty sweet. I'd been thinking of doing something ourselves when we finally finish our master bath. However, I don't have a Mac so I'm going to have to hunt for something similar to Double Take.

Nice work! On both the drywall and the movies. I think I see Bry's house thru the window! Sweet.
