Jaunt and Tastemade Bring Us A Perfect 360° Day In Los Angeles

This VR video experience will take you around LA with Ryan Seacrest, Conan O’Brien and of course — donuts.

The food and travel video network that brought us digital programming like Food Court and Tiny Kitchen is now teaming up with a VR studio to take us on a trip to some favorite attractions here in Los Angeles.

The debut of A Perfect Day in Los Angeles from Tastemade and Jaunt Studios gives you some pretty unique access that not even LA locals get to experience on their own. But thanks to VR, you can explore some of these popular Los Angeles spots without ever having to leave the comfort of your home.

Filmed with the Jaunt One camera and some select drone footage, the 360° video is filled with cameos you’d expect from the city, including Ryan Seacrest, Conan O’Brien, and tastemakers Jax Tranchida, Carlo Alberto Orecchia, Julie Nolke, Katie Quinn and Jimmy Wong.

The piece was created in conjunction with LA24.org, the committee bidding to host the 2024 Olympic Games, so of course they are going to bring the best out of Los Angeles life. A Perfect Day in Los Angeles kicks things off in-studio with Ryan Seacrest before heading to a hidden water hole in Malibu and cruising by Stan’s Donuts, a common stop for a few Scouts here in the office. You’ll also make a quick stop to see the LA Galaxy soccer team, ride the Jaws ride at Universal Studios Hollywood and end with your toes in the sand at the beach.

“We are always looking for new ways to tell stories,” noted Larry Fitzgibbon, co-founder at Tastemade. “By partnering with Jaunt on A Perfect Day in Los Angeles, we’re combining top talent with advanced technology to offer audiences a star-powered glimpse at one of the world’s most exciting cities—and doing it in a fun and entertaining way.”

The latest 360° video from Jaunt follows up on a wide variety of other content, including a personal journey with Paul McCartney and a collaboration with Camp4 Collective that takes you on a journey with extreme athletes.

A Perfect Day in Los Angeles is currently available within the Jaunt VR App for iOS, Android, Gear VR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Desktop 360.
