<\/p>\nMounting a video camera to the front of a car produces an awesome traveling shot that helps raise the quality of your video production.\u00a0 It’s amazingly simple to do with a few handy tools.\u00a0 I’ll explain in this post.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Viewers are always impressed with shots that give them an unusual perspective<\/strong><\/em> or angle. Life as viewed from the hood of a car is unusual enough to peek viewer interest and help your video stand out from the enormous crowd.\u00a0 A shot driving down the street can serve a multitude of storytelling purposes.<\/p>\n Surprisingly easy and inexpensive<\/strong><\/em>, mounting a video camera to a car can be done with a suction cup mount <\/a>and a few other simple tools.<\/p>\n Logic dictates that you use the smallest camera possible, so cellphone cams work great. That’s an iPhone 4 in the picture with a wide angle lens attached. \u00a0Many other small video cameras would work too.<\/p>\n Attaching a wide angles lens <\/strong>not only broadens the perspective of your shot, it also helps the shot appear steady and in focus at all times.<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0Wide angle lenses, by their very nature, have virtually infinite focus and are the simplest way to make camera shake virtually disappear.<\/p>\n The video below is an example of using the shot you get from mounting a camera onto the hood of a car.<\/p>\n The video is part of a highly successful series of videos produced by a guy named Stephen Garner for the Real Estate Marketing niche, which, if you have not noticed, is HUGE!<\/p>\n
