The problem of movie cameras

This thing is called the camera stabilizer, which is a kind of balancing and stabilizing device to reduce the picture vibration when the camera moves.

It is mostly used to shoot moving scenes such as walking, talking and talking on horseback in TV dramas and movies.

The camera can be stabilized by the following three main components:

Equielastic spring alloy damping arm with joint

A specially designed balancing part is used to support the camera equipment.

Auxiliary vest

Operating the camera stabilizer is one of the most difficult tasks in the film production process, but it is also the most fulfilling task. When using an ordinary camera stabilizer lens, the photographer must follow the preset procedures, adjust the camera to avoid any obstacles in the lens, and support the camera equipment weighing 27 kilograms.

The best technique of camera stabilizer surgery depends entirely on the characteristics of lens. In order to shoot a simple conversation between two actors, the photographer may try to model the smoothness of the push-pull lens to keep the camera completely balanced and move slowly with the actors' movements. If you want to shoot "flying" from a lower position, the photographer may deliberately tilt the camera from one side to the other to achieve the effect of gliding.

One of the most commonly used functions of camera stabilizer is to track the movements of actors when they bypass obstacles or walk on uneven ground. Photographers usually walk in front of the actors and shoot from the front when the actors walk and talk. In this shot, the photographer can also go back while shooting with the assistance of other staff. You can also aim the camera at the back and walk forward. For these shots and most other shots, directors, staff and photographers will work together to create an optimal combination mode.
