How to Shoot an awesome 360 VR Music Video

We’ve all seen music videos shot in 360 degrees before, but how do you direct one? Just as in Virtual Reality, you can see from every angle and feel like you are really right there. Here are some examples of popular 360 degree and VR music videos that have been shot and produced:

Avicii – Waiting for Love – 20 million views 

Gorillas – Saturnz Barz – 12 million views

Fort Minor – Welcome – 7.8 million views

Infinite – Bad – 3.6 million views

One Republic – Kids – 1.7 million views

Making a 360 degree production isn’t as easy as recording a 2D music video, however, it definitely immerses the audience more than the traditional video. With everything being shot in 360 degrees, you have to be extra careful to get the best effects possible, without showing how it’s done. Hiding any behind-the-scene lighting equipment, props, cameras, and staff are among the most important. Some other precautions you should be prepared for is the right positioning, camera angle, and synchronization. Overall, the camera should represent you as a viewer and be shot from your point of view.

More musicians and artists are using new technology to create 360 VR content to reach new generations of technology users and music fans. In addition to pre-produced content, there are also live 360 content being streamed in real-time. Music fans love to go and watch shows and concerts live. With 360 degree availability, fans can see their beloved artists in a new and different light. Likewise creators can expand their creativity and foster more intimate interaction with their audience. Anyone that has a smartphone can try their hand in this. Just download the Vresh App and grab a 360 camera to record.
