Today we are continue our behind the scenes the making of our VR docu-series
Meet The Determined. I'm going to focus on our VR camera movement with a home made
Rover and Insta360 Pro 2 with FlowState stabilization and we are
going to show you how I crash the rover...
the goal of this video is to show you why I think Insta360 pro 2 is
such a powerful camera for VR camera movement and we will run different
real-world tests with our homemade Rover on different terrain without any
physical gimbal to back up my statement. Along the way we will show you some best
practices and mistakes we made that you can try to avoid in your next Rover
shots like don't be an Asian driver like me and crush your Rover by running into
a parking car.
This very special rover and this rover can
cope 60 kilometres per hour really fast and the Insta360 Pro 2 is on top of it
so hopefully flow stay stabilisation we
can have some really smooth shots for Special Olympic
On the left is with flow state stabilization stitch with the Insta360
stitcher. On the right is the stitch with Mistika VR without FlowState
stabilization. As you see when Glib moved to rover the Mistika version
without flow state is very shaky and definitely not good for Headset viewing.
Luckily, Mistika VR has its own software stabilization. Again if you are not
sure why you want to use Mistika VR to stitch click my other tutorials on upper
right corner. But still Mistika software stabilization is not as good as the flow
state stabilization. We hope one day Mistika can utilize FlowState data but for
now you do need to pick one or the other. So now we gonna do a rover shot. Our runner on this
bridge on top of the Insta360 pro 2 we have a roller right here so let's see how it
perform. This camera have stabilization so hopefully we can see a pretty smooth
performance tracking down the runner which is right there and she gonna run
with Sean to see if the robot faster or Sean or the runner is faster. So what
happened is when we format the card the camera actually took like around 10
minutes to speed test all the SD cards seven of them in the camera so it
should take a long time so tips for you guys is before you actually do the
action just run a speed test so you don't waste time on se. Right now we are
wasting time on set because talent over there is getting ready. I mean this one
the drawback of this camera, the Insta360 Pro 2 where the Pro 1 is pretty fast usually. So
now we just wait
The camera does stop recording when the crash happened
so pro 2 does stop recording when impact the camera. For fun I render out a
version without the flow state stabilization to see how hard is the
shaking and impact. And there you go FlowState does makes night and day
differences in moving shoot. Here is one more running shot with and without the
FlowState stabilization. I just want to show you an example that FlowState is
not always the magic and with skill in post-production you can pretty much
stabilized any 360 VR footage in post production with professional finishing
software like Mocha Pro. If you want to learn more about mocha Pro stabilization
