Jeff L'Heureux Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Sticks is a slang term for a tripod, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Dunn Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) So, do you mean a Still Image? I don't understand the question. Stills photographers also use tripods, usually of a different design, but "sticks" is a film industry term. It dates from when they were usually made of wood.

Brian Drysdale Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 "Sticks" is a slang term used for the tripod, but it's commonly used on productions by camera and production people eg "put the camera on the sticks".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it doesn't mean (only) Still image... It could be e.g. a pan or a tilt shot... okay, great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Do you mean where the camera is not moved during the shot? The term for that is 'locked off'- i.e. with the pan and tilt locks engaged on the head. It isn't helpful for that chart to use jargon. The word 'tripod' is not long or difficult to understand.

It is okay. I was thing about shot type, but in this case he talks about equipment, so tripod (or Sticks) independently from a type of framing.

Max Sjoberg Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 In this case, I think it's purely that the camera exists on the tripod for the shot. For some, it does mean "locked off"/locked down/static, as Mark pointed out. In my experience, it usually just means that the director just wants a lack of organic human movement in the shot that you would get from handheld, even if the camera doesn't, "move".Tilts/pans/tracking the subject/etc are choices that can be made independent of that sort of thing.

John E Clark Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) It is okay. I was thing about shot type, but in this case he talks about equipment, so tripod (or Sticks) independently from a type of framing. It would mean the camera is on a tripod for the shot. Steady-cam, handheld, crane, etc. would indicate some other method of stabilizing (or not...) the camera... Depending on how this was done, this information is needed for renting the requisite equipment, or operator in the case of steady cam/crane/(illegal drone...)/etc. for the day/week, etc. Edited October 20, 2015 by John E Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
