10 creative 360 videos every YouTube creator needs to see!
360 videos are some of the most exciting content on YouTube, unfortunately, many are unaware that this aspect of youtube even exists. Even YouTube covers minimal detail in their YouTube Creator Academy. So to inspire your creativity, here are 10 youtube 360 videos that I think every YouTuber should watch.
This is everything a high budget 360 short film should be. It clearly was made to show off the full capability of the visual medium and the VFX is simply stunning.
Not all 360 videos need big budget visuals and “Show it 2 Me” is the perfect example of using nontraditional animation tools. The entire video was drawn in Tiltbrush.
Mario VR is the perfect example of taking something that everyone is well aware of and converting it into a new medium. The first level of Super Mario is a classic and is easily recognizable.
Following the same trend of the video before, PipocaVFX is capitalizing on the popularity of a classic fandom with a wide audience.
Mixing concepts is a great way to speed up production. Five Nights at Freddys is a popular game but this video takes a different approach, mixing live-action video and VFX to tell the same story but in a realistic setting.
When it comes to live-action 360 films, space and underwater themed projects are almost always winners. National Geographic has a long history of diving into these tops in their magazine so it's not a stretch for them to cover Aquatics in their 360 video content.
Gorillaz is an amazing band, to begin with. Saturnz Barz is them taking it to the next level as a 360 music video. They also have a 2D version of the video for those who want something a little more traditional.
Sonic The Hedgehog VR follows the same structure as Mario VR and Star Wars earlier on the list.
2D animation in a 3D world is incredibly satisfying to watch.
Andy Font made fall guys to capitalize on the viral trend of the video game by the same name. This is something all YouTubers should take note of.
All these videos come from a wide range from big-budget to indie creators pushing forward creative and sometimes thought-provoking content. While a number of these pieces are animated, you can create content in 360 with just a camera.

This is just a fun video from Corridor Digital.
