Hey guys! My name is Ben and today I'm
going to teach you how to shoot tiny
planet photos and videos using your
Samsung Gear 360 camera
For photo you can either shoot handheld
with the timer on- the button is a little
bit close to the lens to just press the
button and have it take straight away
but if you set the timer for either two
or five seconds that will give you
enough time to move your thumb to the
bottom so your hand will be much smaller
in the final photo or video. You can also
put it on a tripod like I've done here then
step back and make it cool pose!
Okay so you'll want to download
the Theta+ app, yes I know that's
another brand but they make a really
good tiny planet editor it's the best
all around for iPhone and Android
so now we can preview our image in
several different ways but we want to
select little planet and there we go
easy as that now you just pinch to zoom
and swipe to change perspective yeah I
like that
next, cropped image, save, done! For video
the exact same rules apply you might even
want to get yourself a selfie stick to
really get the camera far away from your
hand so it doesn't end up big in the
video now we simply just hit record and
walk past the most interesting things we
can find
they'll make really nice details of your
planet later on. For video again we
want to use the theta plus video app
which is free for iPhone and Android
find our clip and now the process is
exactly the same- go 'cropped video' little
planet and move it to the orientation and
size that we like that looks good
next
save this camera can shoot amazing 4k
video; so amazing that some tiny planet
apps struggle keeping up with that full
4k resolution so if you're shooting with
the intention of making your 360s tiny
planets you'll want to use the second
highest resolution not the absolute
highest so you want to go into your
settings > mode settings > video size and
here we have our options the highest is
4096, you'll want to go down to 2880 by 1440
that's plenty of pixels for a tiny
planet but it just means it's not going
to overwhelm our phone later on and
crash the app. Editing on computer isn't
an issue at all
but on phones it is so now let's take a
quick look at the computer editing
workflow. Many of you know I'm a big fan
of Insta360 studio which is a free
software for Mac and PC that allows you
to manipulate your 360 videos into tiny
planets you simply just drag and drop
your footage into there and now it acts
as a viewer all you need to do is go to
the recorder set a keyframe and change
to planet mode I've got a more in-depth
tutorial just go to my YouTube page and
you'll find a 20 minute tutorial that go
into all the intricacies of this
software I won't go into it here but
essentially it's a very similar process
to editing on mobile where you just
click and drag until you get something
you like now down to export in the
bottom right hand corner and we're done
I'm putting a link in the description to
where you can download this awesome
software on both Mac and PC. Hope this
