The Super Selfie uses multiple cameras to create a close up shot zooming out into a panorama of the attraction
Whenever a guest visits an iconic destination, they want to share great photos from their day, but picking the best image can be hard. They want to show their excitement but also how amazing the destination is. This isn’t always possible with a typical selfie, but thanks to the new ‘Super Selfie’, this can be achieved.
Thanks to Picsolve’s exclusive partnership with Panora.me, the Super Selfie takes the stunning backdrop of any destination and combines it with a ‘selfie’ of the guests to create a short video with a fantastic zooming out effect.
How does it work? Visitors pose for a camera located in a distant location. The camera captures the visitors and the backdrop using multiple cameras. It’s then stitched together to create a piece of video content that starts with a close-up of the visitors and dramatically zooms out to reveal a panoramic backdrop.
Key Benefits For Picsolve’s partners, it produces a short, shareable piece of video content that is effective for social reach, ideal for brand activation, and something visitors cannot capture themselves. For visitors, it creates unique and instantly-shareable content that captures a memorable and enjoyable experience.
The Super Selfie is now live in multiple locations, including Studio City Macau.
“We wanted to offer our guests an engaging way of capturing the scale and the beauty of our resort in one amazing piece of content, that guests would also want to share again and again,” says Aaron Glade, assistant director, Entertainment Operations at Studio City Macau.
“The Super Selfie was the perfect piece of technology to do this and we are really pleased to be the first in Asia to have this installed. The response from our guests has been brilliant.”
