Young dragons don't make the best cameramen. Their thumbs aren't developed yet. ;)

[Knoptop]

@Starky3000 the camera shown during the opening wais an old 8mm film camera I like to use as a prop.

[neonixfilm]

Fellow IndyMoguler! :D

First, the kids are ADORABLE.

Second, neat trick! I recently (as in today) built a Fig Rig (thanks to Zack Finfrock) and I plan on using that tomorrow... the PVC cement's still curing/setting/whatever.

Maybe I'll use this for Film Club?

[outkasst88]

Awesome, thanks! (I'm just getting into filmmaking.) What type of camera is that?

[Knoptop]

@outkasst88 It's just an old 8mm film camera. I used it as a prop since I was using my actual camera to record this tutorial.

[skip424]

@Knoptop no wonder! hahahah i was really wondering.. wahaaha

[mmmebrahim]

ahahah.. i loved the dragon! so cute..

I was looking for some videos using steadicam, cause the film crew will use this on my wedding, so i wanted to see the effects.. i`ll not run in the wedding but it`s a very nice tipe! ;]

[darkopening]

[Knoptop]

@darkopening information on where to find the music is in the description. specific song titles in the video credits.

[darkopening]

@Knoptop all it gives you is the link i want the name of the song so i can go to the link and get it

[Knoptop]

@darkopening Check out the credits in the video @2:00 it lists both names of the songs used and the site it's from.

[PyroMighty]

cool camera

[CrypticWarfare]

Hmm, that does sound like it could work. Thanks for the tips, maybe I'll give it a go :). Any information on the camera you have in the video?

[Knoptop]

@CrypticWarfare :) Aww yes, It's just an old 8mm film camera. I used it as a prop since I was using my actual camera to record this tutorial. It's such a cool looking camera, maybe i'll convert it to an HD? ha would be cool.

[CrypticWarfare]

Hey Dave, I LOVE this tip. How would it look in a street though? Probably not too effective since the background would be drastically different at different parts of the circle. Also, curious as to what camera that is that you are shooting with. Anyways, thanks for the incredible tip and hopefully you can answer my questions. Thanks!

[Knoptop]

@CrypticWarfare hmm, thats a good question. I think it could work in a street location where you'd have your talent run multiple times past the camera. After each shot, move the camera in the direction they are running and shoot the run again. Editing, cut together the different shots and it should look like a smooth action running scene.

Since it's a straight street the shot will depend alot on how you edit together the scene. Be sure to shoot a variety of wide/close up/medium shots.

[HJDtv]

yeah that works very nicely! i will think of this when i filming....

PS i subbed

[dhatje]

That's a very useful technique. Thank you.

[FilghiProductions]
