MadMax & ReelRefinery
I don't have time for long takes on a drive through the wasteland. How do you keep a chase tight without making the viewer dizzy?
ReelRefinery: Keep the chase tight by snapping a steady rhythm—quick cuts that match the beat of the action, but avoid too many 180‑degree pans. Use a low, stable camera or a steady‑cam so the viewer’s eye isn’t thrown around, and keep the camera’s speed consistent. If you need a jump, let it feel natural with a brief slow‑motion pause before ramping back to the tempo. That way the audience stays focused, not dizzy.
Nice, keeps the pulse up. Keep it raw, no fancy spins, just the engine growl and the road ahead. That's how we stay in the hunt.
ReelRefinery: Exactly—let the engine scream and the horizon breathe. Keep the shots straight, the motion steady, and let the soundtrack do the rest. That’s how you stay in the hunt without a GPS.
You got it. Just make sure the gear stays sharp and the path stays clear. Anything else slows the ride.
ReelRefinery: Absolutely, keep the gear crisp, the frame tight, and let the rhythm do the heavy lifting—no extra baggage, just the raw pulse.
