Roving Camera

   I saw a demo today of a wedding.  They did a technique of doing a 360 deg around a cake table.  They also "floated" up the church aisle.  Every shot look so smooth.

   How did they do this?  Every time I take my camera off of a tripod I am shaky!  Is it just experience (upper body strength :)) or is there some fancy product they are using?

   One way you can make a shot look smooth is to stabilize it in after effects. Its right in the Motion Tracking controls. I can't remember the exact name of the otpion...

   Hope this helps.. :)

    Yes - they most likely used a Steadicam or simlar stabilization device.

   Might be too late for this one but....

   A steadycam is most likely the answer.  I work for a fortune 500 company with a minimal budget(how does that work) and I had to create my own steadycam.

   A quick google search for $14 steadycam may just be your answer.  I use it and can say it really works and it well worth the $14!!!

   Here is the link just in case you dont want to search google.....    http://steadycam.org/

   Good luck!

   I sometimes use this effect. I leave the camera on the tripod and use it to give me a shot that looks like it is on a jib crane.
