Edward Butt Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 As part of our student film, we'd like to have a long steadicam shot which employs a varying dutch angle. If we add the tilting with After Effects, would the result be the same as if we had done it physically? Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Dutch angles are pretty easy with a Steadicam. Doing it digitally means you have to enlarge the image in post so that you've got enough spare image area to put in the dutch angle,.so you may find that you're reducing your image quality unacceptably.

Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted January 25, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted January 25, 2014 Yes, not only do you end up cropping and enlarging to be able to tilt the image in post, but therefore your image becomes less wide-angle.

Reggie Miller Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 If you are shooting at resolution higher than what you are going to edit at then this would be fine. It's ok if you lose some resolution by doing this effect at post but it would never be ok to do this for something you were getting paid for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
