All footage was shot in 8K30 and exported as ProRes. ## Detailed outline ### [0:00] Intro: 8 creative 360 drone shots - 360 drones can capture shots that a standard drone can't get at all, and that an FPV drone only gets with a lot of practice. These eight are easy to fly and quick to edit. - He promises a bonus at the end: a "slow-motion" 8K shot, even though the A1 can't record slow motion in 8K. - There's a sale with an affiliate gift (details at the end). ### [1:00] 1. The Rotating Reveal Shot - Fly straight over or past a subject. During reframing, rotate the view so the subject stays centered and is "revealed" from the other side. - He edits in the **Antigravity Studio** desktop app. The **Antigravity smartphone app** can do the same things, but the bigger screen makes editing easier. - Keyframe workflow: set the framing, then add a keyframe with the **+** button or a right-click. Add a second keyframe just before the subject passes. Add a third after it passes, with the view rotated back onto the subject. **Rotate left** so the subject stays visible during the turn. - Field of view: he recommends **Dewarp**, which is wide but removes most distortion. That matters most for aerial footage. - Click the orange line between keyframes to set the transition. **Fade In Fade Out** usually looks best. - Keyframe-free option: create a project, then drag the **Movement → "L to R"** preset onto the timeline. Drag its arrow handles to trim the start, end, and duration. He still prefers keyframes because they give more control. ![[images/The Best Creative 360 Drone Shots Antigravity A1-t0215.webp]] ### [4:17] 2. Ascent with Side Turn - Start in front of yourself and fly straight up. A regular drone struggles with this shot, but the A1 handles it easily. - Easiest edit: rotate the view so you're in frame and tap the **Deep Track** icon. A green box marks a detected subject. Select it, then stop tracking when the flight move ends. - Played in reverse, the clip works as a "subject revealing shot." ![[images/The Best Creative 360 Drone Shots Antigravity A1-t0450.webp]] ### [5:17] 3. The Tracking Revealing Shot - The A1 also has in-flight subject tracking (**Deep Track**). He selects himself, takes off the goggles, and rides his bike through a quiet mountain spot. - In post he opens on the landscape, reveals the tracked rider after a few seconds, and returns to the landscape at the end. The result is an almost full 360° view while you're tracked. He says no other drone can get this shot solo. A similar shot shows him running. ### [6:19] 4. The 360 Time-Lapse Drone Shot - He calls the A1 the **only 360 drone with a time-lapse mode**. You set the interval, resolution, and duration, and you can use **waypoints** to fly a route. - He started the time-lapse while hovering. The result is stabilized automatically, and two keyframes add a dynamic move. - Downside: **15 minutes of flight produced under 10 seconds** of clip, so you need a full battery. ![[images/The Best Creative 360 Drone Shots Antigravity A1-t0640.webp]] ### [7:11] 5. The 360 Orbit Shot - **Intelligent flight modes** sit alongside the Standard and FPV modes. Path: **Sky Genie → Orbit** (Spiral Ascent works in a similar way). Flying a clean orbit by hand with the A1's controls is hard. - In post, two keyframes delay the turn toward the subject, which creates an "orbit revealing shot." - Tip: turn on **Motion ND** (Imaging menu) for digital motion blur. He used the defaults: 85 spread, 50 strength. ### [8:37] 6. The 360 Hyperlapse Drone Shot - Fly a low straight line to emphasize speed. In Studio, use **TimeShift** to speed the section up (he used 4×). - An ultra-wide **FOV of about 130** sells the speed, and only a 360 camera can do that. Keep the horizon centered to limit distortion. - He narrows the FOV with keyframes toward the end for a zoom-in effect. Motion ND is set high (85 / 100). ![[images/The Best Creative 360 Drone Shots Antigravity A1-t0910.webp]] ### [9:52] 7. Flight Through (an Object) with Rotation - With the **Vision Goggles** and **Free Motion** flight mode, flying through things is easy. He flies through a bridge structure. - He adds a sideways roll in post. One option is the **CW Turn / CCW Turn** or **Side Flip** presets. The other is two keyframes, rotating the view with **Ctrl/Cmd + mouse** and using a Fade In/Fade Out transition for a more natural look. ### [10:47] 8. Crazy FPV Drone Shot - He combines keyframes, presets, rolls, FOV changes, and Motion ND to turn a simple flight into an FPV-style shot. He shows the original footage for comparison. - Tip: **fewer keyframes = smoother results**. Too many make the motion jerky. Don't overdo crazy moves, because they get distracting. ### [11:44] Bonus: Fake Slo-Mo Shot - The clip was shot in 8K30. Two keyframes pan to the bike over just a few frames, and then that section is slowed down. - **Frame interpolation** fills in the missing frames. Studio offers it in the project editor, and it's applied on export. He found **Final Cut Pro** does it better, so he exported from Studio and applied slow-mo plus interpolation in FCP. ![[images/The Best Creative 360 Drone Shots Antigravity A1-t1200.webp]] ### [12:46] Special offer for the A1 - **25% off** for a few more days.
