Thanks to their small size and versatility, GoPro cameras have a long history of starring in strange and wonderful videos. So it should be no surprise they’ve now been used to create an entire world.

At least it feels like a small planet—or a moon maybe—when six GoPros are used to create these otherworldly spherical panoramas.

German filmmaker Jonas Ginter‘s idea is brilliantly simple: Take video from many cameras, put it together and bend it to your will. Voila, now you’ve got your own world to lord over.

But wait, where have I seen that tiny green planet before?

Of course.
