In this video, I'm going to share with you
how I filmed and edited my most favorite 360 shots in Thailand
using the Insta360 X3.
So let's get started.
For the first shot,
let's start with something easy called the Flowerscope shot.
I set the X3 to 360 Video Mode, 5.7K 30fps.
I extended the selfie stick by two stems,
made sure the X3 lens is as close to the flowers as possible,
and walked slowly forward.
To edit this shot,
add a keyframe at the beginning of the shot.
Use the Tiny Planet field of view as a starting point,
then pinch your fingers inwards to zoom out even more.
Swipe your finger down to turn it into an inverted Tiny Planet.
Tap Update Keyframe to save this view for the first keyframe.
Then go to the end of the shot,
add a keyframe,
pinch your finger slightly outwards
and this will create a slow zoom-in effect.
And now you have a flowerscope shot.
Shot number two is Bullet Time.
To capture this shot,
I'm using the Insta360 Bullet Time string.
For this shot,
I set the X3 to Bullet Time Mode, 4K 120fps.
Swing the X3 above your head at one rotation per second,
and after six rounds bring it down.
To edit this shot,
I'm going to use Speed,
Section Speed.
Leave the first second at normal speed,
so I'm facing the back of me.
Add speed here
until it goes all the way round
to the side.
Tap the tick here.
Change this speed to four times speed,
and whilst I'm at the side,
I will leave a one-second gap
of normal speed,
and add four-times speed
all the way round
until it reaches the front.
Then leave one second of normal speed.
Then add four-times speed again,
till it goes all the way round
to the side.
Then add one second of normal speed,
and then four-times speed
until the end.
Tap the tick to confirm,
and you now have a Bullet Time shot.
Shot number three is car hyperlapse.
For this shot,
I set the X3 to 360 Video Mode,
5.7K 30fps.
Carefully place the magnetic camera mount on your car hood or roof in the middle
and off you go.
To edit this shot,
the first thing I'm going to do is a Direction Lock,
so the X3 will follow the direction the car is traveling in.
So to do this,
go to Settings and turn on Direction Lock.
To turn this shot into a hyperlapse
I'm going to add eight-time speed.
So to do this go to Speed
and in the speed section
add eight times speed.
Tap the tick to confirm.
Next, I'm going to reframe the shot
and put the car in the middle.
So to do this,
add a keyframe,
choose your field of view.
I will use the Linear field of view to get rid of fisheye distortion.
Update the keyframe to save this view.
And you now have a road TimeShift shot.
Shot number four is a Speedboat Third-Person View.
To capture this shot,
I use the Best360 clamp and the Insta360 114 centimeter Invisible Selfie Stick.
For this shot
I set the X3 to 360 Video Mode at 5.7K 30fps
Clamp the X3 as far front of the boat as possible,
and fully extended the selfie stick.
To edit this shot,
the first thing I'm going to do is add Direction Lock.
Now because the X3 is in a fixed position,
and I want to follow the direction the boat is traveling in,
by turning on Direction Lock
the X3 will automatically follow the direction the boat is traveling in
without me having to add keyframes throughout the entire video.
So to turn on Direction Lock, go to Settings,
Direction Lock and Confirm.
Next,
I'm going to add speed to turn this shot into a hyperlapse.
So to do this,
go to Speed.
I will use eight-time speed
which will be added throughout the entire shot.
Tap the tick to confirm.
And finally, I'm going to reframe the shot
to put the boat in the center of the frame.
Pinch your fingers inwards to zoom out.
Add a keyframe to save this view at the beginning of the shot,
and you now have a Speedboat Third-Person View Shot.
Shot number five is the Speedboat Follow View.
To capture this shot,
I am using the Insta360 three meter Extended Selfie Stick.
For this shot,
I set the X3 to 360 Video Mode, 5.7K 30fps.
Fully extend the selfie stick at the back of the boat and hold it in place.
To edit this shot,
add a keyframe looking towards the sea.
In the next four and a half seconds,
add a keyframe looking towards the speedboat.
At the end of the shot,
pinch your fingers inwards to zoom out.
Add a keyframe to save this view,
and you now have a Speedboat Follow Shot.
Shot number six is the Longboat Tracking Shot.
For this shot,
I am also using the Insta360 three meter Extended Selfie Stick.
For this shot,
I set the X3 to 360 Video Mode, 5.7K 30fps.
Fully extend the selfie stick to the side of the boat and hold it in place.
To edit this shot,
look towards the long boat,
pinch your fingers inwards to zoom out.
Add a keyframe at the beginning of the shot.
Go to the end of the shot,
pinch your fingers slightly outwards to zoom in.
Add a keyframe.
And now you have a Longboat Tracking Shot.
Shot number seven is the Tiny Planet view.
To capture this shot,
I'm using the Best 360 Clamp and the Insta360 114-centimeter Invisible Selfie Stick.
For this shot,
I set the X3 to 360 Video Mode, 5.7k 30fps.
Clamp the X3 vertically in the air and fully extend the selfie stick.
Alternatively, you can use the Insta360 three-meter Extended Selfie Stick as well
and just fully extend the selfie stick vertically in the air.
To edit the shot,
add a keyframe at the beginning of the shot,
tap the Tiny Planet field of view,
pinch your fingers inwards to zoom out,
drag your finger up to turn it into the Tiny Planet view.
Tap Update Keyframe to save this view at the beginning of the shot,
Go to the end of the shot,
add a keyframe.
Pinch your fingers slightly outwards
and this will create a zoom-in effect.
And you now have a Tiny Planet shot.
