A DAY AT THE 2016 SUPER BOWL

WITH JAMES BLAKEWAY
(Santa Clara, CA) James Blakeway, founder of Blakeway Worldwide
Panoramas Inc., photographed the 2016 Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California at
Levis Stadium. Blakeway and his colleague, Chris, shot a panorama and a Gigapixel,
which is a 360 degree, taggable, ultra-high-resolution fan engagement photograph.
There was heavy security and many extra steps to go through before getting in the
stadium and on to the field, said James Blakeway.
Blakeways team arrived eight hours early to coordinate with other media before the
game, which is four hours ealier than they would arrive at similar events. Blakeway
took his position on the sideline and realized he was lacking the proper credentials that
photographers needed to avoid potential security difficulties. James took initiative and
found the head of security for the National Football League (NFL) to receive the
appropriate permit for his job.
Blakeway received the correct credentials and was assigned an escort to take him to the
field for the Gigapixel shot. James said he walked onto the field to shoot the Gigapixel
unaccompanied because his escort had not shown but was uninterrupted and shot the
360 degree photo as planned.
Blakeway and his team took their photographs during the first half of the game and were
able to enjoy the second half of the game without working. There were famous people
littered around the stadium and James said he appreciated that [he] was standing next
to Miss Universe on the sideline and got a picture with her.
The Gigapixel was officially announced and is available to the public. There were some
slight setbacks through the day but all obstacles were overcome and day was a success.
It was a hectic but exciting day, said Blakeway.
