@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.

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?

@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.

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!
