Enough with the camera sliders already!
Why do we keep moving sideways? The camera slider has become a mainstay for
indie and low-budget productions.
Have you noticed that cameras are moving sideways a lot these days? You see a nicely framed shot, then the camera starts moving – to the left or to the right…
Of course, it is largely down to the ubiquitous Camera slider. A smoothly moving camera can add class to a production and there a couple of reasons why. Firstly, moving a camera, particularly a large camera, takes machinery and labour and thus is associated with production value. Zooms, in comparison, look cheap (but zooms do have a place as I previously discussed here).
Camera Curved Slider SK-CS02
The Sevenoak Camera Curved Slider SK-CS02 is a series curved sliders specially designed to give you the ability to create high-quality shoots and videos without over-extending your budget. Featuring heavy-duty anodized Aluminum construction, super smooth glide rail and roller bearing sliding plate, 1/4” screw thread, and four included feet. Sevneoak Curved tracking system give you the best value. With different bending angle, Sevenoak curved tracking system allows you to focus on an object from different angle and capture better image.
Secondly, there is something fundamentally engaging about moving a camera through space – the viewer is literally taken on a journey. With a zoom the perspective doesn't change; rather than being taken on a journey, it is the equivalent to tracking into a photograph. While tracking shots reproduce our sensation of moving through the world, zooms don't really correspond to any normal human experience and thus can appear contrived.
It is understandable why we want to move the camera, but why sideways? The simple answer is because we can. The rise of the DSLR contributes to this in two ways. A very compact camera which fits well on an inexpensive, easily portable slider. Secondly, with large chip cameras like DSLRs, we tend to be working with relatively shallow depth-of-field and it is much less problematic moving sideways than tracking towards or away from the subject, which would necessitate a focus pull (and it should go without saying that there is no room for a focus puller on a slider).
