360 Video Handbook

This guide is designed to assist you in taking your 360-degree digital video content to the next level through inspiration, recommendation and shared experience, along with discussion of frequently asked questions and key technical information. The book is organised into 5 colour coded sections: 1. Inspiration Be inspired by examples of 360-degree video in 2D and 3D along with descriptions and summaries of key considerations for each example. This section is designed to help you to improve your planning and overall understanding of creating content. 2. 3D 360 Music Video A detailed description of the design, development and production of a 3D 360 music video using Vuze camera, Google Tilt Brush, Google Blocks and Adobe Premier Pro. 3. Frequently Asked Questions Frequent questions asked by 360 camera users are covered in this section including issues related to resolution, audio, copyright and more. Additional information related to the FAQs can be found in the Knowledge section where topics are covered in more detail. 4. Knowledge Improving your understanding of video technology can improve the quality of the video, the clarity of audio, reduce noise and increase efficiency by reducing the amount of post-production necessary to complete your project. This will improve your efficiency in creating exciting and compelling content. 5. Appendix This section contains examples of documents such as a permissions / talent release form, equipment checklist and other useful information when preparing for your 360-degree video. About the Author The author of this book, Peter Simcoe (BA Hons PGDip), graduated from Loughborough University with a First Class Honours Degree in Industrial Design and Technology in 1995 and after spending the next 2 years researching industrial design at the University, completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Media Production at the University of Central England in Birmingham. His career in video production and design has included teaching Computing for Designers at Massey University in Wellington, New Zealand and James Cook University in Townsville, Australia. In the past few years he has been producing communications and process analysis videos for Airbus, graphic design for a variety of companies across the UK and photography for companies such as Toyota Motor Manufacturing. "360 Video Handbook is really a milestone for me, not only as a 360 video producer, but also as a graphic designer, traditional video producer, photographer and musician. The experiments with Vuze and other 360 cameras over the last 2 years, combined with 23 years experience of creating traditional video, photography and design, led me to believe I have something to contribute to the 360 community. This book contains the personal wish-list of project examples, frequently asked questions and the technical knowledge I would have wanted to know when I began my 360 video journey and as a result is a document containing the experience, advice and inspiration. It is also the coffee table book I always wanted to write - something easily accessible in different ways, from quick inspirational photo galleries through to detailed discussion and case studies. I aimed to create a visually stimulating book with intrinsic design value combined with solid technical considerations and hopefully you will enjoy reading it." - (Peter Simcoe, Author of 360 Video Handbook)
