[VIDEO] A Hollywood Camera Move Made From Junk

September 11th, 2012 - by Robby Slaughter

Amateur videographers everywhere know that any shot will look cheap and home made once you start to move the camera. That’s just the reality of inexpensive consumer equipment.

For example, take the classic pan shot, where the camera rotates left-to-right or right-to-left to take in an entire horizontal scene. You can’t hold a camcorder steady in your free hands, and an inexpensive tripod will be jerky no matter how careful you try to be.

What’s the solution? Watch this amazing video [direct link].

Failure is the secret to success. Sometimes a piece of junk—like a leftover office supply—can be the perfect solution to an expensive dilemma. Don’t be afraid to try something which seems too cheap to possibly work.
