How does 360° work?


Products are placed on a white turntable up to a white background. This, paired with the lighting and photography software, creates perfect images from all angles and makes it seem like the product is floating. Rip Roarin Productions offers three unique services with 360° photography: Still Shots, 360-Degree High-Resolution Video, and 360-Degree Interactive Photos. These options will not only engage customers with eye-catching visuals but provide an interactive online experience.


Ideal for independent websites and/or Amazon listings, Still Shots are a type of product photography that will ensure that every shot is a crystal-clear image of your product. With precision shooting, lighting, post color correction editing customers will be able to see every detail they’re looking for.


360-Degree Interactive Photos allow for a fully user-manipulatable image. Customers simply drag their mouse over the object to examine every corner of the product. The 360° aspect gives off a feeling comparable to holding the actual product. The photos will come out crisp, professionally lit and color-corrected for a next-level customer experience.


Similar to the interactive photos, 360-Degree High-Resolution Video creates 360° of your products on a continuous loop. The camera paired with the turntable and software provides crystal clear detail and a smooth rotation for a seamless video.
