[@flipnap2112]

I think one of the most underrated techniques is using the ronin for pans and tilts. before I had a nice fluid head I would just mount the ronin and away it went. the motors are smooth enough that the starts and stops arent too jittery at all. I wish they would let us dial in ease ins/out speed. ive even used it to do motion control programming waypoints. also have a pretty long slider and will mount the ronin on it so I can have a push in while doing pan tilts.

[@DrWasim]

But even more impressive were your basketball skills.

Great video again Mr Holland! You learned a lot from old Spielberg didn’t you! Deffo gonna use some of these. Looks like a need a gimbal though as they seem really useful for nearly all of these. And yeah it’s a move. Thumbnails great btw!

First full video that I’ve watched. Wow! Ended up watching 3 times. I have a little video booked in tomorrow, I’m going to give the pedestal shot a try. I have zero equipment so I’m hoping that from a squat position, with tensed arms holding my mobile, that my dodgy knee doesn’t click too loudly when I’m slowly standing up straight. Ps. Anyone who has a free iPhone gimble send it my way.

[@SamHolland]

🤩 so pleased you enjoyed it. Haha those legs will be solid as a rock! 💪🏻🎥 try the DJI OM 6. Worth every penny

[@3dogspostproduction]

Great work Sam! I would have clicked faster if I saw "Top 7 Camera Movements that aren't boring." 🙂 Keep up the work and uploads!

Haha thank you 🤩🙏🏻🎥

[@mavicsabian5098]

Much love

[@SamHolland]

[@JayGrapherTh]

man for number 6 - how much focus movement can you do when manual focusing with the rotation wheel? great vdieo

[@SamHolland]

Hey Jay. That’s a tricky one with the DJI. You can do it but as you saw, it’s a little sloppy. Getting a wireless focus system and someone to pull focus for you is the best thing. Stay tuned for that video very soon 🤩🎥 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@JayGrapherTh]

@@SamHolland Like maybe not on a gimble but hand holding focusing on a small rig with the focus puller but it seems not possible with any modern lens that is focus by wire is that correct? so I didnt really buy in to it thinking its going to be a waste. (get a proper manual or 3rd party cine lens before a follow focus item)

[@BikeClimbShow]

thanks man. nice video 👍

[@SamHolland]

Thank you 🤩🙏🏻🎥

[@BikeClimbShow]

@@SamHolland Hey Sam, I was actually searching for a video about writing KZbin scripts, or how to organize a video so it keeps viewers watching. I feel a little lost and can't find the right source or a plan how to improve. Since you are very good at that, I would be very happy if you make a video about that topic. Keep up the great work.

[@SamHolland]

Hey. I was thinking of doing that soon but it won’t be for a while yet… however, I’m offering KZbin 1-1 video sessions through my website and I can go through my whole process. www.sam-holland.com/product-page/youtube-channel-booster-session 🙏🏻🎥

[@jbconcepts4459]

… so your camera can live on that gimbal 😜

[@iSpike]

B R I L L I A N T yet again, Sam; I dig watching your videos. Blimey, mate, the way that ball bounced, I expect you to be a little squeaky in your next video. Cheers from DownUnder

[@SamHolland]

😂😂 haha thank you! 🏀 cheers to you 🇦🇺🦘

[@bjorgdemeza]

Yet another really great video from you. Thank you so much. I noticed that you have the Zeapon motorized slider. I looked at it about a year ago and the iFootage Shark Slider Nano. How do you like it? I was not sure if the investment would be worth it, since it is not that long for a slider.

[@SamHolland]

Hi. Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m pleased you like the videos. I really like the Zeapon slider. There’s a new version now but I haven’t managed to get hold of it yet as there’s been a problem with shipping dates. I think you can get longer versions. The only thing that bothers me about the motorised sliders is they’re very slow. Sometimes I want faster movement. I also have a video on the GVM slider which I’ve always enjoyed. Hope this helps 🎥

[@bjorgdemeza]

@@SamHolland Thank you so much for always taking time to answer. It does help. I did some reach and the new micro 3 slide looks awesome (and pricy). I and however really debate to length is the best. AND I know there really is no right answer to that, because "it depends" ;) I am debating between the 59 and the 77. It is nice to have the opportunity to use the full length but I really like to be mobil with my gear and maybe 59cm is good enough for most shoots?

[@bjorgdemeza]

OMG - Sorry for all the typos 🙈

[@SamHolland]

😂 that’s ok. I guess you just have to choose the one that’s most important to you. Length, or portability 🤩🎥🙏🏻 let us know which you decide

[@heyitslove706]

⚠🚨Hi. I need a little help, please. I want to buy a video camera and a lens for music video. My budget is very small (1000$) what can you recommend? I'm only interested in music video not photos. I looked at Sony, Panasonic and I don't really know what to choose. Aslo I am willing to buy SH as well so if your option costs a bit more, I'll try to work it out. I'm waiting for an answer. Thank you very much.

Didn`t understand the titel because of the content to this episode. At all, you explaining basic camera moves and you explained it very well. If the title was "basic camera moves, you need to know", I´ld found it way faster.

[@SamHolland]

Hey. Thanks for watching. That’s the problem with KZbin. If I did title it that way, you probably wouldn’t have found it because I’d be in competition with everyone else who named it that, plus it’s not as intriguing. I know what you mean though

[@davidschwan]

great#

[@samuelboatengyt]

It is difficult to say if it is a movement or not, because the camera doesn't fiscally move 🤔 It might be consider just a shot but not movement, but who cares if the people around you understand, great video as always ✌🏾✌🏾

[@SamHolland]

It’s a tough one. Thank you! 🤩🙏🏻🎥

[@JasonFischer]

I try very hard not to be "that guy" any more, but "fiscally" should be "physically". Fiscally has to do with money.

[@definingslawek4731]

the lens is part of the camera and to rack focus it needs to move (slightly) So I guess that we could say it moves in that way :)

[@kingmuhu]

The most boring thing is not having a story. Almost all tutorials show some moves but the footage used almost always have a lack of story. Its cus of the lack of story i dont shoot that often.

[@SamHolland]

This is a great point! 👌🏻 so easy to build story but people just don’t plan ahead. Maybe I could do a video about this? 🤔 would that help?

[@kingmuhu]

@@SamHolland for me personaly a lot. Its where i get stuck. Getting idea's, greating a story. Im a filmguy, not a writer. The one men band does to need to do it all.

[@kingmuhu]

Would be nice if there was a online meeting platform where wtiters drop there scenarios and filmmakers trying to make something out of it. I dont know of such a place, cus i can imagine there are a lot of writers that cant film as well.
