Let&#8217;s learn how to pull off a jib shot using a slider.<\/h2>\n<p><em>Top image from <a title=\"Cinevate Home\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cinevate.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Cinevate<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>As any independent filmmaker will tell you, there are times when you want to capture a specific look that would seem to require using a\u00a0<strong>jib or crane<\/strong>. It&#8217;s that <strong>smooth panning motion<\/strong> that really makes your shots look professional. However if you&#8217;re on a documentary film shoot or, as Brent mentions, a wedding shoot, then you&#8217;re not going to want to carry around a large jib or crane rig. You can get around this by <strong>keeping your camera on the tripod.<\/strong> To help you achieve this look, <a title=\"Cineblur Home\" href=\"http:\/\/cineblur.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Cineblur&#8217;s<\/a>\u00a0<a title=\"Brent Pierce Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cineblur\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Brent Pierce<\/a>\u00a0shows you how using <strong>a tripod, two heads, a slider, and a DSLR<\/strong> will give you a look very similar to a jib.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/vimeo.com\/128392549<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"more-awesome-cinematography-tutorials\">More Awesome Cinematography Tutorials<\/h3>\n<h4 id=\"the-flip-shot\"><strong>The Flip Shot<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Flip shots<\/strong> are used during action sequences, such as when following a runner, skateboarder, or biker. Pierce shows us how to achieve this with a few simple tricks.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f8mH81KgGr8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"dramatic-slider-moves\"><strong>Dramatic Slider Moves<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Slider moves<\/strong> can work extremely well for many situations. For instance, they can add a little life to rather <strong>static interview shots for a documentary film.<\/strong> Or they can work in place of a dolly system when needing to track in for dramatic effect. Here, Pierce takes it one step further and adds a <strong>dutch angle<\/strong> to the slider move.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5Qv2iFUOX-k?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Want more content on <strong>cinematography<\/strong>?
