Tip of The Week
Here's one of my favorites video shooting tips for vacations. Most points of interest have a sign or monument. I like to frame a wide angle shot that includes the sign in a corner of the video. Then I zoom all the way into the sign. I roll for about 5 seconds, then slowly zoom out and pan. It takes some practice to get it fluid, but once you master the technique you can use it over and over.
