I am a huge champion for dynamic camera movements. When you're broke, or working on a budget sometimes the best you can do is put the camera on some sticks, or get really good at shooting handheld. Here's a little guide from Studiobinder to help navigate "the Tracking Shot".

What this internet wisdom doesn’t discuss is WHY we move the camera in certain ways in certain scenes.

Great share, Justin. I had the distinct honor of working as a production assistant on the night Scorsese shot the tracking show into the Copa Cabana for Goodfellas. We worked for hours to get that take 5 times. It was amazing to watch happen (in between water runs, helping to pull cable and locking down traffic). But shots like this can elevate a film so much. Thanks so much for sharing.
That's awesome Sam. #jealious What an experience and experience to have under your belt.
Andrew Sobkovich I'm assuming your referring to psychological shooting. Who's left or right of frame and how shots can transition as the power dynamic between characters shift. I'm sure Studiobinder has a video covering that too.,
Great share!
