Three Tales of Canterbury

VR and panorama gallery
If you don't already have it installed on your computer, you will need a simple free QuickTime download from www.apple.com/quicktime to run these VRs. The minimum version required is 3, although 5 is better. Once installed, clicking on any of the links below should start the VR after a short downloading delay. Each VR provides a 360-degree panoramic view of different aspects of the excavation, enabling you to zoom in or out and explore the site from different angles.

Panoramic VR1: The trench at Blue Boy Yard on Day Two, showing later cesspits cut through the Roman temple precinct surface.

Panoramic VR2: One of the trenches investigating the Greyfriars site of Britain's first Franciscan priory.

Panoramic VR3: Trench 2 at the Greyfriars site on Day Three.

Panoramic VR4: Trench 3 at the Greyfriars site on day three, showing the tiled floor.

Panoramic VR5: The incident room at the Live.

Panoramic VR6: The kiln reconstruction on Tyler Hill.

Panoramic VR7: The outside broadcast unit truck – where it all happens at the Live.

Additional VRs and video clips can be found on the Time Team Live 2000 website or on Steve Shearn's website. As well as being one of Time Team's regular sound crew, Steve produces the VRs and video clips for the Time Team website. At Canterbury he was responsible for all of the QuickTime VRs, object movies and QuickTime streaming video and many of the digital photos that were used on the Time Team web pages.

This meant having a three-man team, three digital stills cameras, one digital video camera, three Apple Mac computers and Steve's Media 100 online editing system all onsite at the incident room in Canterbury. The result, in Steve's VR Gallery is 16 different VR panoramas; and 14 different video clips in his Movie Clip Gallery. These range from series producer Tim Taylor talking about the perils of doing a live event at the same time as weather-affected cricket coverage to guest presenter Lisa Tarbuck getting a surprise at a bookshop.
