🎬 Introduction

Creating a 360° VR video is not just about pressing the record button. It requires detailed planning, scripting, shooting discipline, and careful editing. If one step goes wrong, it can become very costly to re-shoot. Here’s the complete step-by-step process we follow at 360 VR Photography to deliver high-quality VR videos.

📌 Steps to 360° VR Video Production

1️⃣ Script Writing & Duration Planning

• Decide the total duration of the video.

• Separate the script into paragraphs/sections.

• Mark each part with notes about which shots are required.

• This script becomes the shooting blueprint.

2️⃣ Pre-Shoot Recce & Preparation

• Visit the location before the shoot.

• Check lighting conditions and time of day.

• Clean and organize the area so the video looks professional.

• Plan where each 360° camera will be placed.

3️⃣ Shooting the Video

• Keep the script in hand while shooting.

• Match each shot with script paragraphs.

• Write down video numbers at the end of the script.

• This helps track retakes and pending shots.

4️⃣ Review & Backup on Shoot Day

• At the end of the day, review all data twice.

• Match the script with recorded shots.

• Check all six lenses to confirm proper recording.

• Take immediate backup before leaving.

• If possible, do quick stitching on the same day for safety.

5️⃣ Stitching at Office

• Import all 360° footage.

• Stitch files properly to remove seams.

• Prepare clean master files for editing.

6️⃣ Voiceover Recording & Approval

• Record the voiceover as per the script.

• Share with the client for approval.

• Make corrections before editing starts, since later changes are difficult.

7️⃣ Editing & First Cut

• Begin editing after the final VO is approved.

• Prepare a first cut of the video.

• Share with the client and ask them to mark where they want graphics, text, or animations.

• Clients can send screenshots in a PPT for clarity.

8️⃣ Graphics & Final Delivery

• Insert graphics, text, and branding as per client feedback.

• Deliver the final video.

• This process ensures fewer corrections and smooth project delivery.

✅ Conclusion

A professional 360° VR video requires structured planning from script to editing. By following this workflow, clients save time, avoid costly re-shoots, and get high-quality immersive content delivered on schedule.
