▌TUTORIAL ▌Shooting Motion Handheld (Minus Dolly)

I'm going to need you to learn how to skateboard.

Essentially, that's what this guy is about to tell you. While the crew below is focusing specifically on skateboard coverage, I'd definitely recommend these tips to anyone responsible for camerawork on a live shoot.

For those of us who have been trying to figure out a substitute for the incomparable dolly effect, the long and short of it is this: learn how to skateboard in a straight line.

When you see the shot this kid gets during the chapter called "Lines," you'll see why I'm co-signing. (And also why so many young film rockstars look like skater kids...lol)
