360-Degree Camera Accidentally Films Proposal in NYC Park

A New York City real estate technology company was filming b-roll at a Brooklyn park when a feature-worthy event got in the shot.VirtualApt said its 360-degree video-shooting robot was stationed in Bushwick Inlet Park in Williamsburg on Monday afternoon when it accidentally filmed a man getting down on one knee in an apparent proposal. The company said it didn’t know the camera had caught the touching moment until afterward and is now trying to find the couple so they can have the footage.

They then stand there for a few more seconds before the video ends.The company said the robot’s operator, who had left the area to avoid getting in the camera’s shot, didn’t realize he had captured the apparent proposal until he started going through the footage on Tuesday morning.That is when the company said it posted the footage on its website, VirtualApt.com, and several social media networks in hopes of finding the couple.If you recognize the couple, email VirtualApt at info@virtualapt.com.Photo Credit: Provided by VirtualApt.com This story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.
