Charles Yeager (yeagerfilm.com) shows how to create a 360 video in After Effects with SkyBox Studio. He uses 2D keyed footage of himself and composites it within different 360 scenes created entirely in After Effects. He composites his “2D” self within an Element 3D cityscape, and into different virtual 360 rooms built from flat images. He also replicates a weapon scene from the Matrix in 360.
The creative possibilities are endless, and as Charles says, “It’s a great way to start producing 360 content”. There are lots of 360 production tips throughout the tutorial as well.
