360 Video Promotion

Last week Howie and I went to the Dali Museum to see the 360 display Jen Leon had told us about.  It was 3 chairs, in front of 3 screens, powered by 3 Alienware computers.  I think the headsets were Oculus but they may have been HTC Vives.  They had people lined up about 15 deep when the door opened to see a 3 minute virtual reality game type experience of one of Dali’s paintings.  You could zoom around from one perspective to another along w/ sound effects, changing lighting, etc.  We paid almost 70.00 to visit the museum, just to see what this 360 VR set up looked like.

 

After watching countless reviews and reading lots of articles I purchased the HTV Vive Pro and the Oculus Go, which just came out on May 1.  I’ve asked Randall Munsters if he can upgrade our iMacs to run the Pro and the Go is completely untethered but it only has a 2 hour battery life.    I woke up this morning, thanking God for all the blessings I’ve experienced lately, such as an animal protection NGO in Guatemala crediting my 2011 video of the Circos Rey Gitano for being the deciding factor in their congress banning circus acts that use wild animals.   Now we are working with those in Guatemala to rescue the 50-70 lions and tigers that have been abandoned by the circuses there.

 

During the prayer, I received the divine inspiration to capitalize on this 360 craze with URLs that would redirect to our content.  That would make it easier for us to send people to those videos without having to say, “Go to YouTube.com/BigCatRescue or YouTube.com/DailyBigCat and then search for our 360 playlist...”  I sent the following email to LaWanna.Mitchell, Afton.Tasler and Brittany.Mira:

 

360 footage is getting a huge boost on Facebook due to them putting out the Oculus Go at $199.00 which finally makes it affordable for most homes.  We are getting 5-6 times more views on 360 on FB right now over flat video.

 

To capitalize on that I bought these URLs:

 

360cat.tv points to a list of our Facebook 360 videos

 

360bigcat.com points to our main YouTube playlist of 360 videos

 

360bigcats.com points to our DailyBigCat YouTube playlist of 360 videos

 

Hi, I’m Carole Baskin and I’ve been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  These are my views and opinions. If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/

 

I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
