Jan Tore Soerensen Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Good afternoon! I am a huge fan of creative cinematography. Obviously we create images that first and foremost enhance our story, but personally, I like to be creative with it. Now after watching AHS, using the roll-axis has been stuck on my mind for a while, but as far as I can tell, this is usually done by huge heads on cranes. We have a Ronin, but it doesn't seem like we can actually controll this axis. Any ideas from the seasoned cinematographers in here? Also, is there an industry name for these shots? Thanks!

Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted May 18, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted May 18, 2017 Are you referring to a Dutch or Tilted Angle? There are Dutch heads that can do that like the Cartoni. If you don't need to tilt in mid-shot, there are the smaller, flatter Tango heads that can go on top of a regular head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that is something I would need a crane or something like a Shotover gimbal for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted May 18, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted May 18, 2017 No, if it's just a dolly in with a dutch tilt happening, you can just use a dutch head under the camera like a Cartoni dutch head: https://www.cartoni.com/products/fluid-heads/fluid-heads-sfx/h514d-c40s-dutch-head/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Satsuki Murashige Posted May 19, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted May 19, 2017 An underslung head with a third axis to control roll like a Cartoni Lamba or Ronford F7 is not too expensive to rent either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
