Jonas Ginter, a German photographer has a real visual treat for you. He used six GoPro video cameras in a custom 3D-printed mount to record a spherical video image.

Those six video clips are then stitched together using software and voila! -- we have an adorable "tiny planet" image in full motion. I'm guessing he used Adobe After Effects.

The horizon twists into a circle creating a unique perspective. Watch Ginter ride a bike on the waterfront creating a comical perspective of top heavy buildings, people and trees.

It's an ultimately-chill video when paired with some sampled beats by The Custodian of Records.
