Sum 41 Concert Recreated Using Fan Footage

A new music startup called "Switchcam" is algorithmically recreating concerts by stitching together fan footage. The footage is all synced up to the exact second so that you can switch camera angles and still be in the same moment in the concert.

Check out what we did with Sum 41 in Madrid: http://switchcam.com/event/sum-41-unive ... ?c=b_sum41

DISCLAIMER: I most definitely work for Switchcam, and most definitely love all good music. We would love to hear your feedback, so if you guys have any questions or comments you can write to me at [email protected]

Peace! :2cool4u:

Any way to watch this without joining the site?

I mean, sounds very cool, but I'm not willing to register without getting a guarantee that it's worth it.

Pretty cool, but kind of useless.

You guys shouldnt be getting hit with the FB sign in until after youve already watched at least 2 events. If you want to check it out you can always connect with FB, and then De-authorize it later... :suicide:

Ok, we are taking a look at this and are going to change it around to make sure that no one is immediately hit with this roadblock. Cheers.

Hey just wanted to let everyone know that you now have the option to skip the FB login request. We got a ton of complaints about it, and wanted to make sure that everyone is able to watch their favorite artists whether they have FB or not. Cheers!

When clicking the link on the first post, it gives me this, while the video keeps playing in the background.
Houston, we have a problem

Sorry, it looks like we’ve broken something

You can refresh your browser to try again or perhaps try one of these events:
How can I get rid of that?
