Video Effects/Shooting Ideas

This thread will be dedicated to the use of effects and shot ideas.

Throw down anything you remember looking cool or any basic techniques you can think off.

Next time you’re watching top gear, pay attention

  • Two cameras - ground level from side road, fixed. One as the car approaches, then switch to the other to watch the car leave - drive by if you will
  • Camera/raised shots
  • Helicopter shots - only a few hundred bucks after the research I’ve done but I’d have to look into who rents them around here
  • Car driving over the camera as the camera is in the center
  • Shot from a camera car in front of the real car
  • panning following shot as the car goes around a turn
  • Trailing camera facing in the direction of the car is going - car arrives next to camera and leaves in the direction facing
  • Front wheel shot with camera on fender

More tricks such as “Top Gear” effect which I’ll most likely edit nearly everything into.

Walk/zoom towards a target sped up and focused on face

Walk all the way around vehicle/zoom/dolly

Spin around on moving bike around the presenter
