      I make short film professionally...that is not a short film because he is explaining something in it. There is bits in the video that could be in short films but the whole thing like you see it on screen is not a short film. There film they made "Westworld To Yuma" is a short film...

    I have that same tripod. the one you're using for steady shots. grooooooovy tips.

  • @HitfilmUniversity
    @HitfilmUniversity Před 7 lety +7

    Tip 5.5... Instead of doing a psuedo snorricam, turn that camera back around and extend those sticks as far as they go. With two feet on your chest and one on your stomach, standing stationary, you can pivot at the waist and get a high, pusuedo jib shot, maybe 9 or 10 feet up. I've done this with ENG cameras, and it's a hell of a lot easier with a DSLR or mirrorless. The tripod feet braced on the body makes this more stable than just lifting a monopod high.
    Otherwise a great selection of classic tripod tips. Personally I've never done the psuedo snorri--I thought you were building to a psuedo jib there!

  • @FinnlandIlpoPietinen

    THANK YOU! I was just talking to a coworker last week about how you guys were getting away from the DIY/budget film making tricks, but I shall insert my foot into my pie hole now and let you do you boo boo. Keep doing the voodoo you do Film Riot... I love you. XD

  • @jon_deluxe
    @jon_deluxe Před 7 lety +1

    I love that you can do pretty much all of these with a monopod as well, but if there are any extra tricks for that one, please do a video on monopod tricks as well!

    Thanks especially for #7. I've been trying to rack my brain around how to do an overhead shot cheaply for a while now.

    • @HitfilmUniversity
      @HitfilmUniversity Před 7 lety

      J. D. Thorne I typed this in the main thread, but 5.5... Two feet against your chest, one on your stomach, and extend sticks all the way. With most tripods this gets the camera 9-10 feet up.
      Stay stationary but angle the camera down.
      Pivot at the waist and you get a top down pan. This might require stabilization.

  • @roysahar8812
