What are tiny planet videos useful for and what gear do I need?

“

(light upbeat music) - [Narrator] Tiny Planet videos are a very unique type of video. (light upbeat music) In order to create one of these, you're going to need a 360 degree camera. I prefer the ones from Insta360. Once you get it set up, you can pair it with your smartphone which is important for the remote control. You'll also want to attach it to some sort of extended selfie stick. This allows you to get the camera higher above you. It is possible to handhold the camera but I find you generally get better results if you could attach it to some sort of mounting plate. Here, I'm using a cage to help hold the camera in place so it's nice and steady. Once it's set up, it's pretty easy to control. In order for this type of shot to work, you're going to need to get the camera relatively high up. In this case, I had my subject place it right inside the center. This is going to make it really easy to get a great shot. Let's go ahead and explore the shooting techniques and what you'll need to do to pull off a Tiny Planet video. (gentle music)
