Hello!
I am a student at Birmingham City University, and I am conducting an investigation on camera control technology for my undergraduate dissertation. I aim to identify in my investigation whether viewing experiences are influenced by camera stability, as well as identify if there is a distinguishable characteristic between footage captured utilising dissimilar camera-control technology.
It would tremendously benefit my project to collect people's answers on the following questions:
To what extent do you think the stability of movement in camerawork affects the audience’s immersion?
Do you consider passive (Steadicam) and active (motorised gimbals) stabilisation systems to have a unique quality or a noticeable difference in their stability?
When working on a project do you opt for one stabilisation system over another, if so why?
