Hi everyone, just a question about a certain camera move I want to use in my film ...

The camera move description:
The actor(s) are walking towards the camera,
and the camera is moving away from the actors.
Both remain the same distance apart, no matter
how long the shot.

Just wanted some advice on how to do it as smoothly as possible.

Thanks!

A dolly is the way to go. You can build one, or buy one, but both are tricky. A quick and easy way is to get a wheel chair and have your camera guy sit in it while some crew members walk it slowly backwards.

A few ?'s
1. how wide is the shot on which lens, ie, do we see the ground?
2. how much seperation between the talent and the camera?
3. how critical is focus (probably answered in the last 2 ?'s)
4. are you recording sound?
5. what type of terain?
Peter.
