Slide Tips
- Position your hand over top of the platform and apply force down while sliding - pushing / holding the camera causes shakes and stutters.
- Practice easing in and out at the beginning and end of slides.
- Get multiple takes sliding back and forth.
Framing Tips
- Frame up your shots with the length of the railing in mind.
- Hide behind something to reveal shots makes slides feel longer.
- Pan while sliding across your scene to cover more in the shot.
- Avoid wide shots that may appear to have no movement when sliding.
- Get close up to mid range shots for best results.
- Use a lens with a zoom.
- Try different angles like up and down / backwards and forwards.
- Take note of the weather conditions. Too much sun can cast nasty shadows casted by the camera
