Filmmaking Trickst

I thought that it was really great that this website posted a number of personal tricks to assist in filmmaking. A few of the points that I found interesting...

-A clear plastic bag is about as effective as an expansive camera 'raincoat'. All you have to do is cut a slit the size of your camera lens and wrap it tightly with rubber bands.

-Carry an empty nylon bag with you for a variety of reasons. If it is windy while you are filming, you can fill the bag with weights in order to stead your camera. You can also fill the bag with rice, beans, or sand to hold your camera steady if you do not have a tripod.

-If you like to move around while filming, use a shoulder stabilizing brace instead of a tripod. You can hold it in your arms while running or you can place it on your shoulder for slower scenes.
