No problem. Here&#8217;s how you can pull off the look on your own.<\/h2>\n<p>If you love to follow behind-the-scenes social media pages, then you&#8217;ve more than likely come across a video like this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=2057072914353857\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">clip posted by Aputure<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-110565\" title=\"How To Rotate Your Footage 180 Degrees Without A Multi-Axis Rig \u2014 Aputure Clip\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Aputure-BTS.gif?w=600\" alt=\"How To Rotate Your Footage 180 Degrees Without A Multi-Axis Rig \u2014 Aputure Clip\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The camera tracks forward or backward, and the camera rotates on a motorized four-axis gimbal. Alternatively, some grips will build rigs that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BqNCSkRHc4z\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">fully rotate<\/a>, if the multi-axis gimbal isn\u2019t an option. Recently, DP <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm1121126\/?ref_=nv_sr_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Rachel Morrison<\/a> and director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/find?ref_=nv_sr_fn&amp;q=Ryan+Coogler&amp;s=all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Ryan Coogler<\/a> deployed this technique on the big screen in Marvel\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/find?ref_=nv_sr_fn&amp;q=black+panther&amp;s=all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><em>Black Panther<\/em><\/a>, as Killmonger nears his newly acquired throne.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rv1C9GE0CMk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The technique offers a literal metaphor. As in the case of the <em>Black Panther<\/em> scene, everyone in that room has just had their world turned upside down. Of course, whether using a multi-axis rig, or conceiving a rig that can fully rotate, both of these setups would be extremely expensive. However, there is a low budget option that simply requires cheating with 4K footage.<\/p>\n<p>Using the basis of my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=h1QKFnzISPw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">How To Make A Dolly Zoom Effect Without A Zoom Lens<\/a> tutorial, which explores the benefits of using 4K footage in a 1080p timeline, have a look at how you can achieve 180\u00b0 or 360\u00b0 rotation, without rigging.<\/p>\n<p>This is the shot I\u2019ll be using as an example:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-110560\" title=\"How To Rotate Your Footage 180 Degrees Without A Multi-Axis Rig \u2014 Example Shot\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Before-Gif.gif?w=600\" alt=\"How To Rotate Your Footage 180 Degrees Without A Multi-Axis Rig \u2014 Example Shot\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a long tracking shot of a character walking toward the camera. By continually tracking backward at a faster pace, we leave him isolated. He\u2019s injured, alone, and lost. I think that rotating the shot upside down would be a great visual metaphor. However, there\u2019s an obvious problem \u2014 this shot has already been recorded, and it wasn\u2019t rotated on location. Practically speaking, we could rotate the composition, but we\u2019re left with the black matte of the background.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-110552\" title=\"How To Rotate Your Footage 180 Degrees Without A Multi-Axis Rig \u2014 Rotation\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Rotate-Matte.gif?w=600\" alt=\"How To Rotate Your Footage 180 Degrees Without A Multi-Axis Rig \u2014 Rotation\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This is why, as with the dolly zoom tutorial, working in 4K is pivotal, as the effect relies on the extra resolution in a 1080p timeline.<\/p>\n<p>As such, there are some constraints to getting the best look, from the following technique.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You need to shoot in 4K and frame for a cropped shot.<\/li>\n<li>The shot needs to be stable.<\/li>\n<li>Your subject needs to be centered.<\/li>\n<li>And you need to be moving in zSpace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You could, in theory, execute this method on a static shot, with the subject off-center. But it looks disconnected. Usually, this camera movement conveys a particular message. Executing the technique with a static shot doesn\u2019t have the same payoff. Likewise, since we\u2019re faking the effect, it looks more real with z-movement.<\/p>\n<p>So, with those elements covered, let\u2019s get to it. I am working in DaVinci Resolve 15, but you can do this on any platform that accommodtes animated rotation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"the-how\">The How<\/h3>\n<p>First, we need to change the timeline from 4K to 1080p. If your software automatically scales the image to fit, then deactivate that setting, so you have a cropped image.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-110551\" title=\"How To Rotate Your Footage 180 Degrees Without A Multi-Axis Rig \u2014 4K to 1080P\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Crop-Image-Rotation-Tutorial.gif?w=600\" alt=\"How To Rotate Your Footage 180 Degrees Without A Multi-Axis Rig \u2014 4K to 1080P\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At this point, you can see why you need to frame for a cropped image, as you lose a bit of compositional space. It\u2019s important to note that, while it appears as if we\u2019ve zoomed in, we\u2019ve only cropped the 4K media without sacrificing image clarity.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-110558 size-large\" title=\"How To Rotate Your Footage 180 Degrees Without A Multi-Axis Rig \u2014 Zoom\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Before-After-Cropped-Shot.jpg?w=755\" alt=\"How To Rotate Your Footage 180 Degrees Without A Multi-Axis Rig \u2014 Zoom\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Before-After-Cropped-Shot.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Before-After-Cropped-Shot.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Before-After-Cropped-Shot.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Before-After-Cropped-Shot.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Before-After-Cropped-Shot.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Before-After-Cropped-Shot.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Before-After-Cropped-Shot.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If your subject isn\u2019t dead center, now would be the time to make it so. If the shot is a little shaky, you need to stabilize it. Smooth footages is essential to sell the effect. In Resolve, I\u2019m going to go to the color page and stabilize the footage. Resolve\u2019s stabilization process is pretty solid \u2014 I usually won\u2019t need to adjust the parameters.<\/p>\n<p>With our footage cropped, centered, and stabilized, we now need to rotate the clip. How you rotate your clip (i.e. how fast and how many rotations) is entirely up to you. However, for my clip, I want one long rotation, from 0\u00b0 to 180\u00b0. In your software, simply open the rotation panel, set a key frame at the start of your clip, move to the end point, and rotate the clip 180\u00b0.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-110554\" title=\"How To Rotate Your Footage 180 Degrees Without A Multi-Axis Rig \u2014 Keyframe and Rotate\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Rotate-Keyframe.gif?w=600\" alt=\"How To Rotate Your Footage 180 Degrees Without A Multi-Axis Rig \u2014 Keyframe and Rotate\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In typical, low-budget fashion, we have a slight problem. Although we\u2019re using 4K media, there\u2019s still an area in the clip where that the cropped resolution can&#8217;t cover entirely.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-110562 size-large\" title=\"How To Rotate Your Footage 180 Degrees Without A Multi-Axis Rig \u2014 Cropped Resolution\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Corners-Not-Covered.jpg?w=755\" alt=\"How To Rotate Your Footage 180 Degrees Without A Multi-Axis Rig \u2014 Cropped Resolution\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Corners-Not-Covered.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Corners-Not-Covered.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Corners-Not-Covered.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Corners-Not-Covered.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Corners-Not-Covered.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Corners-Not-Covered.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Corners-Not-Covered.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are two ways we can fix this.
