Are there any plans to add video to google maps in the near future?
I take lots of pictures, though not all of them are as great as I want them to be.
You know when you see something great - like a message in a bottle - you try to capture that in a perfect shot.
I even take multiple shots to make sure at least one of the pictures is level, has decent lighting and has no distracting objects somewhere in it.
This process should be natural instead of self-conscious, instead it is annoying and becomes an ordeal more often that it should be.
As an experiment I decided I would make a short video everytime I want to take a picture (last couple months).
The inaccurate moving of the camera makes for a more natural and dynamic image and adds imo soo much to the experience.
I've started playing with transitions like swish/whip pans and such and even used some of the clips in my local guides summit video 🙂
The process of working with video reminded me of how creative and engaging working with video can be.
I'm interested in the different experiences you have when it comes to pictures and video.
How would you use one or another to augment your contributions in different scenarios?
In what kind of situation would a picture be more appropriate?
