The ability to get the camera and operator into elevated perspectives adds a tremendous amount of production value and can be achieved in many simple ways, from simply bringing a ladder on location to renting construction equipment as in this case. For this production of “The Harvest“, produced by Bob Cording of San Diego, cameraman Michael Griffith gets a birds eye view of the subject and the surroundings.
Camera Movement
Camera movement adds visual interest and production value. For this industrial film we employ a “doorway dolly”, (yes, it fits through a door). The doorway dolly is one of the least expensive, easily deployable and repeatable means of getting the camera moving.
