Behind the Scenes of "360° 4K VR - Virtual Forest: Crickets and Water Sounds - Ambisonic"

This video was filmed at the Gualba natural park. We traveled there to shoot some footage with both a standard camera and a 360-degree camera to offer some innovative relaxation content. Given the camera's small size and light weight, I figured it would be a good idea to place it in more unique and immersive locations for viewers using VR headsets like the Quest.

Setting up the camera is one thing, but once you hit 'record,' it captures everything in 360 degrees! This means I have to quickly exit the frame and hide behind rocks or trees to stay out of sight. While I could edit myself out later using masking techniques, it would require ensuring that no elements in the scene change, like lighting or leaves, which is pretty challenging in a forest setting. So, it's easier to just hide.

In the published video, you won't see me hitting 'record' and exiting or re-entering the frame because the focus is on providing a relaxing experience. However, this behind-the-scenes video aims to show the parts I cut out, especially since YouTube has demonetized Acerting Art, claiming they can't verify the content as mine since I don't appear in the videos.

So, this is to clearly show that I'm the one recording the footage, hitting 'stop,' or 'record.' In other videos where I don't appear, it's because they're not 360-degree videos and there's no need for me to be in the frame. Yet, I can still prove the content is mine through previously unseen footage or outtakes.

I have other 360-degree videos shot at the beach, in Brighton, New York, walking around Barcelona, and in Tunisia. I'm doing my best to innovate and create original content for the channel. Hopefully, YouTube will recognize these efforts and remonetize Acerting Art soon.
