1. start video recording in iPiRecorder
2. walk across the entire capture volume approaching boundaries

Quote:
«The setup I've been using lately seems to work very well for me: It's a half-circle arrangement, with the
cameras about 2 to 3 meters up, and far back enough to see the full figure of the performer with plenty of
space around him. I have to check, but I think the cameras are 4 meters or so from the performer, which is almost as far as I can place them in my current shoot
space. (I wish I could put them back farther.)»
