bjbj [Music Playing] Each and every one of us wants to make professional looking video
and one of the ways we accomplish that is by how we move the camera. This time, we re
gonna take a look at how we pan, how we tilt, how we do a zolly, and lastly, some MTV dynamic,
crazy Dutch angles and how they re executed properly. We re also gonna take a look at
the standard for handheld shooting and how to make that look professional. I m Tom Skowronski
and this is camera motion. The first thing we re gonna be looking at is known as the
Marxist position and what this is used for is handheld shooting and it basically creates
a more professional way to go about this task without making shaky, unstable, amateur looking
video. Now, the first step to this process is to stand with your feet shoulder width
apart and a little bend at the legs. When you do this, it creates a shock absorber for
when you re carrying the camera. Now, the reason you don t do this with your legs together
is because you have a lot less balance and stability that way and it s a lot easier to
tip over and get a very shaky shot. When your legs are spread apart, you have a better center
of gravity. Now, that our legs are bent and we have a lot more stability, the next step
is to make sure the upper part of your body is more stable as well, and you re gonna want
to create that center of gravity by shooting with your elbow in. Now, the tendency is to
generally keep your elbow out and more relaxed. When you do this, the shots you shoot are
very shaky. You re gonna wanna tuck it in to right above your solar plexus and you re
gonna keep your elbow very, very supported and very straight. This makes your body work
more like a tripod. One of the biggest advantages to this position is the ability to walk and
be stable and get good shots at the same time. Now, the next thing we re gonna look at is
panning the camera. The first step here is to not use our wrists cause when we do that,
the camera is very unstable. Step number two of this process is to take your foot and point
it in the direction you re gonna end your shot. The reason you do this is because when
your body starts at another position, it naturally tends to head right back into the position
you ll be ending your shot. This creates a much smoother movement because you re not
going against the grain with your body. If our feet were together, that if I were to
try to pan now, I m going against the grain with my body. It doesn t feel right. It s
not natural and the camera motion isn t stable. Now, step number three to this process is
to simply remember that sometimes less is more. You don t always need to necessarily
pan from screen left to screen right because it will look a lot more unstable, therefore,
a lot more unprofessional. Now, step number one to doing a tilt is to make sure that your
camera is locked down on a tripod. Therefore, you could create a nice, steady, and easy
moving motion. [Music Playing] The last step in this process when you re doing a tilt is
to look ahead and make sure you know where you re going with the camera. You want to
make sure that you re not just using the LCD as your eye, that you re actually looking
ahead with your eyes and making sure you re following your work in the LCD. This next
shot is known as a zolly. Now, normally, this is done with the assistance of a wheelchair
when you re on a budget, but we re gonna try to do this by standing. The first step of
this camera motion is to actually stabilize the camera like we did earlier when using
the Marxist position. Step number two is to zoom in on the subject and walk towards them.
Step number three is to zoom out with the camera as you walk toward the subject. The
last step in this process is the most important to pulling off this effect. Now, you re gonna
wanna match the speed of the zoom with the speed of the camera s motion when it s moving
forward. If you can pull off these two things, you ll have the perfect zolly effect. Even
though we know how to make things stable now, there is room to make things chaotic and crazy
when you shoot. Sometimes, making things unstable adds an element of realism or even an element
of chaos to each and every one of your projects. Now, as long as the motivation is there, for
instance, if we have a lot of crazy music and we re doing a lot of fast cuts, these
type of crazy Dutch angles can work for us, just like an MTV style music video. Let s
get a crazy shot of Julie and see how it looks. [Music Playing] Now, that we understand how
to create smoother camera motion, it s easier for each and every one of us to create more
professional looking video. [Music Playing] [End of Audio] Camera Motion Page PAGE of
