You can get some amazing shots by moving the camera when you're shooting video.

That is... as long as it's intentional. Accidental movement (shaky hands) tends not to look so awesome.

You have plenty of different options for moving the camera, and more are getting invented all the time.

This video briefly introduces several different ways to move a camera.

I hope you find it helpful!

When you're including text in your video, you have a lot of options for how to show it.

This video demonstrates one technique you might want to try. It works well if you have a voiceover that's reading from a letter. You can include the letter and then show an animated highlight over part of the text.

I use Motion 5 to demonstrate this technique.

The close-up is probably the most important and most common shot in video and film. It's extremely common, and it's certainly one of the fundamental camera angles to practice.

In this video, I demonstrate several different types of close-up shots. I cover what they're called, how you can identify them, and when you might use them.

I hope it's helpful!
