What You Will Learn?
- Cameras and cars are a challenging mix! It can be difficult to know where to start when you're faced with the challenge of filming someone drive a car. So, that is why I created this course! In this course, I will talk you through the many different options available to you, across different levels and budgets to allow you to capture footage in moving vehicles..
- The first decision that you need to make is, do you film your footage for real? Or do you fake it? Faking it with green screen and/or using projectors is the safest option, but this can look very fake and will therefore cheapen your video. So, the other option is to film for real. But, that means strapping cameras in and outside of your car, which means you have to pay special attention to the safety of your cast, crew and anyone else around. If you fail to secure a camera safely, you could either damage your camera, the car or a person. So, in this course, I will walk you through the process of how you can mount small cameras, medium sized cameras and large cinema cameras inside and outside of the car, I will talk about how you can film from another vehicle, how to remove reflections and vibrations from your shots and most importantly, what to do to ensure a safe shoot..
