I also realised that although I have the intro video for the YouTube 16:9 videos, I don't have a 360° video intro. I did the "welcome" videos for both Patreon and YouTube but not the intro Titles, the short little video that actually says Motocamp360 on it that will play at the start of every video.
For consistency I thought should use the same music and a similar style clip but I need to be focused on the one 360° angle properly, so if people are watching using a VR headset that they don't miss anything of what I'm trying to show and that the logo shows up correctly and not all stretched out of shape.
Making the 360° intro was quite hard and that's what got me thinking about if the Patreon idea really is a good idea or not.
I realised that because it will be hard to make and do correctly, that's the reason why I should be making the 360° videos and making sure that they are done right, with 360° titles and content that is appropriate for viewing with a VR headset. Content that wouldn't look the same if shot in standard 16:9. Content that people would be happy to pay a couple of dollars for.
My idea of making the 360° video and then making a 16:9 version of it may still work but I really need to concentrate on making the 360° video great for viewing with a VR headset and if that means that it's not so great for 16:9 and I have to remake the video then that's what I'll have to do.
I need to get my head around watching videos and working in 360° if I'm to succeed at this business, it's no good just making 360° videos if I haven't done any research into what successful 360° content creators are currently doing. I already have a cheap VR headset that uses my phone and I've ordered a bluetooth remote for controlling and clicking within VR. Now I've just got to see if I can find some decent content creators to get an idea of what is out there and what you can do in 360° that you can't do in normal video.
Here's what I've come up with for the 360° Intro but I'm not 100% on it, I may need to re-do it.
