360° Video Production

Here is how this works in practice. We set up 360-degree video production with VR-skilled operators working out of Valletta, close to Malta Film Studios in Kalkara. Our team sources the right camera array for the deliverable — a compact rig for a virtual tour, a higher-resolution array for headset-grade VR — and manages the full pipeline: capture, stitching, nadir cleanup and quality control to the target sites's specs.

Here is the short of it. Malta's compactness is a real asset for immersive work, where a single location's full sphere matters: a crew can capture a baroque courtyard in Valletta in the morning and a clifftop on Gozo in the afternoon, building a different library of 360 environments in one shooting block. We plan capture around the constraints of the format — minimising crew in frame, controlling parallax in stitch zones, and positioning the rig where each direction reads well. Heritage access for sites such as Mdina is arranged through the Malta Film Commission. This acts as a one-stop liaison for permits and council approvals.

Here is the breakdown. Malta is unusually rich in subjects that reward 360-degree treatment. Valletta, the UNESCO baroque capital the Knights of St John built after the 1565 Great Siege, surrounds a viewer with honey-coloured limestone, fortifications and the Grand Harbour. Mdina, the medieval Silent City and 'Game of Thrones' King's Landing, encloses the camera in narrow stone streets that feel made for immersive capture. The Megalithic Temples and the Hypogeum of Ħal Saflieni — older than the pyramids and among the island's three UNESCO World Heritage sites — place audiences inside 7,000-year-old spaces.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Comino's Blue Lagoon gives a turquoise natural panorama. As an EU member where English is universally spoken, Malta keeps the permitting and crew planning behind a 360 shoot straightforward, with most locations 30 to 45 minutes apart. A cash rebates of up to 40% on eligible expenditure supports the multi-day capture an ambitious immersive project needs.
