In-camera door transition technique for low-angle crane shot
14 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A door can be passed through by closing it over the lens as the camera moves through the doorway, with focal length and positioning chosen so the door blocks the view while the operator and top of the rig remain out of frame.
Depends on
- The technique worked for one specific shot with a particular focal length and setup.
- Success depended on precise timing and grip coordination.
