When chatting to someone (sorry can’t remember who) last week about the 360 edits that I had experimented with there was discussion about hiding the tripod by mirroring the footage. I thought that might be interesting with the forest footage that already has a very repetitive pattern.

I used a simple mirror effect in Premiere Pro to film the footage just above the ground level to create the illusion of infinite trees.

I also worked with a number of the birdsong/forest recordings that we had in Audition to remove the wind and road noise (and a fighter jet at one point) as much as possible.

I think the resulting film is a slightly surreal experience in 360.
