We were going to shoot santa in front of Macy's, which is just across the street, but there was a riot with screaming fur protestors and Santa had to move across the street for his own safety.

Technical stuff you could do without:
Shot with a computer controlled Roundshot Super 220 VR on Kodak Pro 1000 negative film. The camera was leveled using the Kaidan QP-4.
The camera was trucked in to 37th Street using a 1985 Toyota LandCruiser and parked at Guido's "you bet it's safe" Parking off 6th Avenue.
From the parking garage 2 bodyguards tagged along for security and 1 sherpa followed with the camera and tripod.
Scanned as a 72 meg Photo CD and color corrected with Kodak Access Plus software. Retouched in Photoshop 4 and compiled into a QTVR 1.0 movie using Jon Summer's PanoMagic.
