Strider & AmberShot
The best footage comes when you stop chasing and just watch the trail.
Yeah, the raw stuff hits when you’re not chasing. But sometimes the chase just won’t quit, and you’re left filming it anyway.
When it won’t quit, find a blind spot, step back, and let it move. That's the only way to keep your gear from breaking.
I hear you—blind spots are my best friends when the whole scene is a mad rush, but sometimes the moment’s still on the other side of the gear. Still, I’ve learned to keep my lens dancing, so the camera never stops moving.
Move the lens and keep the eye on the path. If the gear blocks the view, step aside and let the world move.
You’re right, the trick is to make the lens the new eye and let the world be a moving frame. When the gear blocks, you just step back, let the scene bleed out and you’ll catch the raw pulse you’re after.
