Synopsis

NOTE: THERE IS A NEWER VERSION OF THIS BOOK! https://www.amazon.com/dp/0578463407 The 360° Video Handbook is a practical hands-on guidebook for producers, directors, cinematographers, sound recordists, and editors interested in creating 360-degree video. It covers every aspect of the spherical video pipeline, from development, to production, to editing and finishing, to outputting and distributing your final piece. While you can read it front-to-back, it's also designed to be used as a handy reference. Each topic is contained in a succinct, easy-to-understand chapter, the different sections are color coded so you can flip right to the section you want, and technical terms and obscure terminology is defined right in the margins. Wohl courses an easy-to-follow trail through the thicket of technobabble and jargon. The book provides nuts-and-bolts recommendations on everything from the selection of cameras, microphones, and editing tools, to aesthetic and creative decisions such as camera placement and blocking, as well as editing, incorporating titles, transitions, and other effects. And finally, he provides detailed instructions for how to output your finished work, and where to upload it to reach the maximum audience. “Michael Wohl did a fantastic job with The 360° Video Handbook. He covers the current—and ever changing—state of the art, provides enough detail to be practical, presents a balanced view where there are differing opinions, and avoids getting bogged down in technical minutia. I haven’t come across a similar resource, and it’s a book that will be very easy to recommend.”— Mike Swanson, Pixvana
