1
Park the car somewhere with space around it

You'll be walking around the car and maintiaining the same distance from the car the entire time for the best results, so give yourself space.

2
Grab your camera and point it at the car

Make sure that you have a bit of space in the photo around the edges of the car. This will be helpful when centering the spin later.

3
Note where you started

Put something on the ground so that once you've completed walking a circle around the car, you know where to end.

4
Photograph or record a video and walk around the car

You can either use photographs or a video to create a spin, so pick your preference.

Either way, you'll be walking in a circle around the car, keeping a similar distance from the car.

If you're photographing:

  1. Take a photo of the car at the starting point
  2. Walk a few feet, take another photo of the car
  3. Continue walking a few feet and taking a photo until you've walked a circle around the car and returned to the starting point.

If you're recording a video:

  1. Point your camera at the car
  2. Press record
  3. While continuing to point the camera at the car, keep it in frame and walk in a circle around the car.
  4. Once you've reached the starting point, end the video recording.
