A slider is a tool that every filmmaker should have. Since it gives you endless resources that you can use to give more dynamism and professionalism to your audiovisual projects. In this post, we want to give you the 6 best shots to take with your Slider.
Place objects near the slider
By positioning different objects close to the lens of the slider we give a little more depth to the shot and the movement of the slider will be more noticeable.
Raise the slider and take overhead shots
Mount the slider on tripods or on a rack and use it to point the camera down. You can take advantage of the feeling of vigilance to convey a specific feeling to the viewer.
Discover objects
This shot is known as “reveal shot” where our main object is covered by an element not very illuminated and out of focus and with the movement of the slider it is revealed.
Create shots keeping the subject in the center
It combines traveling and panning movements to create a three-dimensional sensation thanks to the movement of the background and the object.
