Full-circle creativity, literally. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/661512601063f44b71d161df/ad0be325-cdf1-4908-9737-00598a174af6/hd_63eb7e6c3b0cb173ba018f862a603799_686743c5bdaea11.jpg BLOG - From Borrowed Camera to Creative Awakening - Make it stand out One of my early GoPro Max experiments. What struck me here was how the camera nearly erases itself from the shot when you angle it right, even when it's strapped to your helmet. The shadows double up, the angles shift mid-motion, and it all feels slightly surreal. It’s not perfect, but it showed me how dynamic and weirdly expressive 360° footage can be when you're just out moving through the city.
