Artistic Director Zane Trow with ToadShow’s Robert Whyte fire twirling the original PowerHouse “P” logo with sparklers, during construction.

This was shot as a QuickTime QTVR in the days when cylindrical panos were the norm. It was advanced for the time because it employed a hack to enable 120 degrees of vertical view. Not long after, Apple released its “Cubic VR” software, providing the playback of full 360 x180 imagery.

The QuickTime file has been converted to HTML5 with a dynamic lens flare added for effect! 😉
