I’ve written many, many times about how with still images, we need to use any number of techniques to bring movement to our subject. The most common is simply panning<\/a>. Well, it seems this holds true for video even though it’s a moving medium. While I’m not trying to become a rockin videographer, I would like those times I do shoot video to do a better than average job. This means upping the game so now I’m looking at bringing movement into this moving medium.<\/p>\n

The first and seemingly easiest way of introducing this movement to video is what is called a Slider. So, Brent & I went looking at sliders. Did you know that the good ones are bloody expensive, like in the thousand and thousands of dollars?! Not knowing a thing about them and finding renting not practical, I went looking for a cost effective slider that would be a good tool to learn with. I found the Revo 23″ Camera Track Slider<\/a> and I’m impressed how well simple works.<\/p>\n

As you see, the Slider is in a sense just a long camera rail. But in this case, there is a platform on it that can slide, really smoothly. On the Revo I mounted a RRS plate on the bottom so I could mount it to a tripod (it comes with short legs so it can go right on the ground). I then added a small RRS ballhead to the slider platform so I could attach the Nikon 1 V3<\/a> and change its orientation. In the top video, I simply pushed the V3 across the slider in front of the Corsair and you can see that effect. The second video, while I slide the V3 across the slider, I rotated the whole assembly on the tripod using the panning motion of the tripod head. Now the UPS man had only delivered this rig an hour before I shot these so these are just the first tests. Tests to me only count when set up in the real world (yes, I know that’s a model), so I took time to find the location, the lighting and set the angle of view. So for my first tests, I was pleased. Pleased that the Revo did such a great job for only pennies. Bummed I have a long ways to go and now, have another tool to figure out how to get around in my luggage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
