GREEN SCREEN COMPOSITE IN VR360 VIDEO??? Can it be done?

I decided to try and do a special green screen test to see if was possible to composite live action VR360 footage with a 360 CG rendered background.

 I began with footage shot with an Insta360 camera shooting 5k at 30fps and a Minecraft style background created and animated in Iclone 8. 

This was then composited in After Effects and Premiere. 

The results where not too bad realizing that while the footage was mostly in 5k it was also stretched out over a 360 degree sphere which meant that the area that was actually to be keyed out was only a small portion of the entire image. This made getting a good key tricky. 

So while it is possible to do VR360 green screen getting good results can be tricky. The best results would come from using a good high resolution 360 camera capable of more than 5k and at least 60fps and the best green screen setup possible. 

Still it was fun to try. Enjoy!
