Unconventional & unique cinematic camera slider moves you may not know about
You can add great depth and production value to a picture when you incorporate unque and unconventional tracking and/or dolly shots by varying slider speeds and angles for different types of scenes wherever you are shooting video or time lapse. The video above show the standard slider moves you may be more aware of.
Here are some very good tips on cinematic camera slider moves, especially the push in dolly with twist (dutch angle) - see video below.
You can even take advantage of a great technique where you can flip your slider over and mount the carriage/cart directly to the tripod and mount the camera to the end. This will allow you to create extended dolly shots without the end of the slider getting in the way.
