Now you can produce animations of your products yourself. Until the launch of our 360° system it has just been too expensive and time consuming, for all but the biggest companies, to produce 360’s.
360’s build sales and help business communication. Adding animation to your web site distinguishes it from your competitors, helping make yours the preferred site for browsers. Showing people exactly what you are offering builds trust and so encourages purchase.
To create an animation you simply put your product on the turntable and press click . The software controls the turntable, stopping at the defined points and at each point capturing an image. These are then automatically converted in to an animation.
The turntable fits inside both the large and small box systems. Click the 360 option on the software and choose from 72,150 or 300dpi resolution. Then choose how many pictures you want to include in the animation: options go from 4 to 40 shots. The more shots you include the smoother the animation but the larger the file.
You can then choose to stop after each shot or shoot continuously. Stopping allows you to move the subject which is great for demonstrating functionality. Imagine a clam shell mobile phone – the animation is that much more true to life, if during the revolve, the phone opens and shuts.
Once the turntable has moved and the shots been taken you have several choices. Option 1 is to create the animation there and then as a .gif file. Option 2 allows you to annotate the individual frames of the animation to add descriptions. Option 3 allows you to export the images as single .jpgs. And the fourth and final option is to edit the single frames prior to creating the animation. You might want to change the background colour of the animation for instance.
Whichever route you choose you can end up with an animation that you have produced yourself. We have seen companies charging up to £150 for a single animation – our 360° system is £595.
As the turntable is removable owners of the 360 can use the system for still shots too.
