FOUR KINDS OF PARALLAX

Parallax is the magic sauce of camera movement.

Become a master of Foreground, Background,

Depth and Shearing Parallax.

HIGH AND LOW BUDGET

While we use big examples in the course, the

logic of camera movement is the same in your

backyard as it is in a helicopter.

ADD A PINCH OF AWESOME TO YOUR DIRECTING

Hot Moves started as a fascination of why some camera moves end up in the trailer for a film and some don't. What is it that makes a move "Hot"?

The program's creator, Per Holmes, pondered this problem for years until he realized that all "Hot" moves basically use a combination of four techniques, Grid Theory, Stacked Moves, Angle On A Path, and Roll. Together, these 4 techniques add thrill and grace to every shot they're used in, and the likelihood that they'll be used in the trailer goes up dramatically.

HOT MOVES ON LOW BUDGETS TOO!

While Hot Moves of course lends itself to very high-budget shooting, the majority of the techniques can be executed even on a very low budget, because it’s the understanding of motion that makes it a hot move, not the equipment you shoot it with.
