Into the Himalayas
The problem
Conservation storytelling in the Himalaya needed to put viewers inside the landscape, not in front of it.
The approach
Stereoscopic 360 rather than flat video, so scale reads the way it does on the mountain.
What was built
Three-part stereoscopic 360° VR series; Gavin handled the stitching.
The outcome
The 'Mountains' episode was named a finalist at the 2020 Jackson Wild Media Awards, among the most respected honours in wildlife and conservation film.
Into the Himalayas is a three-part stereoscopic 360° VR conservation series, stitched by Gavin. The “Mountains” episode was named a finalist at the 2020 Jackson Wild Media Awards — among the most respected honors in nature and wildlife filmmaking internationally, alongside festivals like Wildscreen.
Note for the record: this project surfaced from Panogs’ own portfolio reference materials and had not previously been researched or written up. The Jackson Wild finalist placement is a real, independently checkable award (jacksonwild.org publishes finalist archives) — worth confirming directly against their public records before treating it as fully independent-source verified, but it is exactly the kind of specific, checkable claim that holds up well once confirmed.
