BLOG QUESTION ADV: USING A SLIDER

What are 3 key tips you learned in this video that you can put to work in your videos going forward this year? Why do you think they are useful?

The video gives numerous tips on how to use motion to keep your shots more dynamic. One tip it gives you is to focus on your subject at the end position of your movement, so when you move towards it from another position, it'll ultimately end up correctly focused and framed. Another tip he gives helps with the shakiness and sudden movement at the end of your shots. He suggests that you lock off the tilt in your tripod if the shot doesn't require tilt, to tighten or adjust any parts of the tripod, and to adjust your grip to lightly guide the camera on the tripod, by having a slight grip on the base of the slider head and a slight grip on the tripod handle. Lastly, if you're having trouble with the slider getting into your shot, he suggests having multiple lenses with longer focal lengths to help with this issue.
