The science of how to is always interesting.. For me I would likely not take something like this on.. I did however really very much enjoy viewing his work.. I feel it is stunning , innovative and somewhat unique.. The concept of stacking 360's followed by turning many into a video with the subject matter he has chosen.. Incredibly dramatic and certainly most enjoyable to view.. He's a visual artist for sure.. just sayin.........

Ah; I'd only looked at the still shots on the page, not the video. It looks like he's
stitching (and CP'ing) each frame of the video from 4 star-stax'd images separately.
I don't understand why.
Surely using a template project, based on a sample 4 image set would provide a transform
set for all the frames from a given camera position, which would then be scriptable?
