How To Do A Tracking Shot?

A tracking shot involves moving the camera along a smooth path to follow a subject or explore a scene. This can be achieved using a camera slider, dolly, or other motion control equipment.

The ‘how’ really depends on your creative, your equipment, and how many setups you have to do in your day. In short, it depends!

At MYT Works, as a company founded by a cinematographer, we understand the needs of a professional crew when setting up and achieving tracking shots that look great in your finished project. Our sliders, skaters, and camera dollies offer unparalleled precision, repeatability, and ease of use for operators. If you have any questions, you can contact us here.

That said, whether you’re using our gear now, later, or never, we hope your tracking shots are bump-less and your shoot goes smoothly. Have a great shoot, we can’t wait to see what you make.
