San Franciscans never tire of looking at pretty pictures of San Francisco—we're pretty vain that way (and our Instagram feed is proof). But now, there is a panoramic snap of the city that's being touted as one of the highest resolution images ever created. It may be the one crazy-amazing thing to come out of Super Bowl week. Seriously, you have to see this.

Created by FanCam as a fun marketing toy for Bud Light in celebration of Super Bowl 50, the 360-degree hi-def birds-eye view of the city was captured with a Canon 5Dsr perched atop Coit Tower. And while anyone with 4Gs in the bank could purchase one, what happens next is a real feat of incredible tedium. As FanCam CEO Tinus Le Roux tells us, the final crystal-clear panoramic shot is actually a composite of of 5,000 different images. 

"For the most part," says Le Roux, "we use off-the-shelf hardware and software, but through the years we've created some custom techniques that allow for the creation of images like this one. Essentially, we zoom into a particular part of the city, take a snap, and then move to the right to take another one, making sure the two images overlap. We then repeat that process 5,000 times. After all the images have been captured, our production crew takes over, painstakingly stitching this digital puzzle into the final product."

This whole process took five months to complete. Whoa.

But that's enough talk. Now you'll want to click over and play. It's addictive!
