  • Utilize a 360˚ VR into a video (slow motion)

    Posted by Chris Mathews on December 10, 2012 at 8:14 pm

    Hi guys!

    I have a client who would like to utilize a 360˚ VR into a video by making it rotate smoothly. If you’re not familiar a 360˚ Object VR is a 36 image (rotated and shot every 10˚) interactive image that you can rotate.

    They only need it do a quarter turn, so I am looking at using 10 images. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could do this? It’s not as simple as playing the 10 frames slower than 23.976, so I need in-between frames that don’t exist.

    I tried tweening in the timeline panel of Photoshop with no success, maybe I should try the Puppet tool in After Effects?

    Struggling here! Please someone help!

    I realy try to help!

    how about shoot the images you need?
    don´t make 10 –> go for 30 or so!

    Hi Stefan,

    I mean this with respect, but don’t you think I know that? Why would I be asking for help if I could just reshoot it? It’s not my images, they want to utilize something of their own.

    Regardless of stating the obvious, it was nice getting a response.

    Thanks,
    Chris

    ah ok!

    now you got me thinking 😉
    (in a good way)

    what about Camera Projektion?
    projekt the “thing” on some solids and make your camera move free.
    you can only “get away” with somd smal angels, but maybe it´s enough!!?!

    “Project” it? Can you explain? It did cross my mind to try and move a camera around it, but I’m not sure how it would work. I’m still thinking I might have to “create” those in between frames with the puppet tool or something?

    (i hope i can make my self understandebl –> not a natve english speaker)

    ok, AE gives you the ability to projekt a image on some solids (white would be the color of choice)

    YT gave me this as a example : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6Rhq_bqQ40

    think it the other way around –> don´t mak the enviroment –> make the object (or whatever you need to visulise)

    to get a tut : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKCzep6-baY
    or
    maybe take a look at VCP / tuts / Camera Projektion

    i hope i understood what you try to do!?

    So: you’re starting with 10 images, each shot ~10 degrees apart, right, your video will end up being a panning shot across these 10 images, and you have no in between shots to make a timelapse, is that right?

    Something simple:

    Throw your images into photoshop and use photomerge to generate a giant panorama that you can pan across:

    Something more involved but with more applications:

    Use trapcode horizon to generate a seamless environment:

    Unless I am reading your tip wrong, I don’t that will work for me. Mine is an object vr, not a pano vr, therefore it is a product spinning 360˚s, shot every 10˚s

    You can try time remapping the 10 frames- that will create inbetween frames for you. Twixtor is another way to go – but all things considered you will most likely end up with a lower quality shot- I would also highly recommend re-shooting the product.
