Maxis recently gave its MaxisOne Club members a treat that many on the dining table would not forget. As part of its loyalty program, the telco rewarded its selected customers a once in a lifetime opportunity to dine and be served by a professional chef, hoisted tens of metres up from the ground! The Maxis Dinner in The Sky is an unique representation of a sky restaurant that gives diners a 360 view of their surrounding while enjoying sumptuous 5 star meals freshly prepared by the chef.

Now with 360 videography, everyone else watching on youtube or facebook 360 could experience similar feelings the guests had during the occasion, Maxis together with a team of specialist camera crew, shot the whole event and produced this innovative 360 view content for the first time in Malaysia.To produce 360 video content, 6 cameras with fish-eye lens are used to cover the entire area. The cameras are fixed together with a special camera mount. The videos are then synch by time and sound, cut and processed into a single video that shows all angles and directions. Once done, an interactive video is produced where viewers can control their smartphones (or mouse if viewed on desktop) to explore the surroundings, giving a whole new perspective of what online video of the future should be.

During the dinner one of the guest surprised his partner by proposing to her in mid-air, bringing the whole affair even more memorable.

Here’s the video, you can scroll on the video directly to get differing angles of the scene.
