Filming/Angles

[gomoto846]

Hi, im gonna try to buy sony vegas pro and learn how to use it, but i suck at filming in MXS so id like to ask for a little bit of advice on angles/ how to take my filming to next level.
thanks and sorry for a kind of waste of a topic

Just try to be creative when you find you angles while you are filming. Will be good if you use 2-4 different angels on the same scene you are recording.
And something I like to do when I make video is to stand behind or close a object while recording, so you look at the object while you look at the rider.

And try to not use the follow cam too much, It's just pure lazyness if you just use it everytime you record, and it won't look so realistic and nice in my opinion

I would like to know how u change the camera angles to film instead of using the follow cam or 1st person? Cheers

TAB is to cycle through the freeroam 3rd person and 1stperson cameras if thats what you mean

in freeroam camera, angle the camera up is the button you have set for shift up. angle the camera down is shift down. left is lean left, right is lean right. go forward is gas. backward is brake.
and when your filming, lower your field of view generally lower than 40
