    One thing I've learned from photography it's not the camera or its movement that creates a cinematic or great shot, it's mood and the viewer's immersion in the image. If you can make a connection for the viewer then the shot will always be strong

    I was educated not to move the camera when unnecessary, my professor always told me "every camera movement should be justified to follow an action or something that actually requires a camera movement". Following this rule since.

      Don't always follow these guidelines... watch "Killing them softly" it had lots of amazing shots and some brilliant ones that didn't require movement... the placement was everything and the most important thing of all... originality without being silly. The cabinet panover shot is one of those amazing shots. You'll know it when you see it.

But just throwing it out there: shots like anything else in art are subjective. You just saying that 10-15 seconds is right and "2.5 second shots" are wrong actually doesn't make you any more correct than the ones giving feedback...in fact as THE AUDIENCE, their feedback is more correct since they are who content is made for. Only pretentious douchebags say people are wrong for giving you feedback on how the content you made FOR THEM (the audience) felt.

    Similar to the rotating shot in your last example, I have used a tripod for a quick dolly-type pull back shot when shooting food - starting on one item of food and pulling back and slightly rising to reveal another item. I would practice the move several times perfecting the framing and movement, and use my foot to help the move come to a soft, controlled stop. It looked quite impressive, and I've never told anyone how I accomplished a high-quality move so quickly and cheaply...until now.

    Mi first little project "Oppenheimer - The Vinyl" after years and years of doing absolutely nothing with a camera is basically all stationary shots. Made it just for fun and enjoyed making every bit of it. So yes, I think you don't need a million cranes, gimbals to make something meaningful. Just recently went to see a movie "The Zone of Interest" and it was basically 95% of static shots. It is possible and it can create a certain type of feeling. I highly recommend that movie by the way.. but not everyone will fully get it I think.

    • @SightseeingStan

    • @scottathomson
      @scottathomson 6 місяців тому +1

      If you search you'll find a great BTS on The Zone of Interest, no lighting used, yes the cameras were fixed but all hidden so the actors could move freely around the house, no crew in the house during filming all cameras monitored remotely. Often 3-4 cameras in each room with up to 12 used for a scene where the actors moved around the house, very well done and very effective, no wonder it won an Oscar.

  • @AJ-on-youtube

    Also important to mention is that if you're shooting in 24p, or (to a SLIGHTLY lesser extent) 30p, you will have to pan your camera more slowly or it will become juddery (and probably also blurred if you're using the 180º shutter rule), especially if you're not using a wide-angle lens. 60p and 30i are more forgiving, and will allow you to pan a little bit faster without these problems.
    However, even if you're shooting in 60p or 30i, if your shutter speed it set to 1/60 second (or set to "off") you'll still have to be a little careful not to move it too fast or it can blur just a bit, but (if your exposure and lighting will allow it) you can turn up the shutter speed a little bit and get less motion blur without having to worry about it becoming choppy like 24p and 30p will at high shutter speeds.

    • @AJ-on-youtube
      @AJ-on-youtube 3 місяці тому

      Also, you can't just shoot your faster pans in a high frame rate and then convert the footage down to 24p or 30p because it will still judder from having 50%-60% fewer frames (unless you're playing it back in slow motion).

  • @jmshrrsn
    @jmshrrsn 6 місяців тому +1

    Good video and some useful tips and ideas. Thank you! My rule of thumb for camera moves is simple. If you can’t do it with your head then don’t do with your camera (unless you want to be arty). Use a slow zoom only when you want to draw the viewer into something secret or emotive. Like when someone tells you “hey, come closer, I’ve got something to tell you”. Cameras that move continuously around a subject (especially in interview situations) are plain odd. Would you walk around someone talking to you in real life like that? Perhaps if you were eyeing them up or trying to get the measure of them. If that’s the mood you want to pull off then fine but I really don’t like these moves just because a crew can hire some track and dolly the camera from left to right or in a semi circle. The worst thing a filmmaker can do is move the camera unnecessarily - that’s when you end up distracting the audience and ruining a good story. If the audience becomes aware of your camera moves then in my book it’s gone wrong!

    • @SightseeingStan

    @iancraig 7 місяців тому +28

    I find the perpetual motion that many UA-camrs use very distracting. Some guys actually seem to push the idea of moving the camera for every shot in order to create motion. Watching on a large TV makes it more obvious, so I experimented by making a short film of a trip twice. Once handheld with moving shots and the same locked off. The wife preferred the locked off version because it was easier to watch. In the end, I mixed a few moving shots into the static in slower sections and that gave a reasonable compromise.

    • @SightseeingStan

    Great stuff. Hope your project sells! Reading Mamet. Mamet says the uninflected shots put side by side is the strongest. What happens next=drama. The camera needs to get out of the way. So tripod shots work great for that style. Example: shot of birds flying out of a tree, shot of lion walking=idea: approaching danger. Implication is always strongest. Because the audience does the work. Who's got money for cranes?

    True but really depends on the subject. If you’re shooting a static object or an event, movement helps because you’re showing many angles of the product at the same time( with a gimbal for example). For event, it helps a lot, it creates energy and dynamism to describe the event.

    Thank you. The problem I see with the "handheld look" is that it's so seldom done well. Mostly, it upstages the actors, it's tiring for the viewer, and it demonstrates the camera person's ego-activated desire to be, very unnecessarily, part of the action. Poor handheld camerawork has ruined entire films and series, most notably (?) the Belgian version of "Professor T" which needs to be Warp Stabilized (read the Amazon 1-star comments). Too often, camera shake is used stupidly in the belief that it will GENERATE excitement, fear, nervousness, a feeling of hectic action, et al., instead of trusting the actors, who nearly always do it better. I've watched handheld scenes that were very well done - like the best running shoes, you forget that the camera is there. In those scenes, it was appropriate and served the viewer - it made the scenes better, not worse as amateurish handheld work does.

      Yes you are correct. Usually that person is wirelessly connected to the camera and isn't in such an awkward position though 😅
