Thanks to Steadiseg, now they are providing a solution for getting smooth travelling shot.

The Steadicam® Segway® is instantly available to create anything from a subtle perspective change to a dramatic traveling shot. The Steadiseg modification replaces the conventional Segway handlebars with a control-stick module between the knees, freeing the rider’s arms to operate camera stabilization systems. The addition of the hard-mount assembly eliminates carrying strain, permitting bulky camera setups (IMAX, 3D rigs, etc.), to be flown for extended periods without fatigue. The Steadiseg is intuitive to ride, and entirely fluid in its movement, allowing dynamic and complex moves to be executed with precision. Stability at all speeds is excellent: ramping effortlessly from a slow interior architectural track to a fast outdoor chase scene, it offers rapid set-ups and delivers stunning results.

Recording a voice over can be troublesome to get it right with great quality and almost zero noise level.

Obviously getting a better audio recorder can be costly above your cost of production.

So what do you do? Try to watch this video to know more about the audio equipment and editing voice-overs.

To achieve smooth zooming control, one must control it by their hands and that is totally not cool. As the main result of the video that needs smooth zoom effects, you need a better equipment to hold the lens as well as control the zooming of the lens.

Luckily, now we got HandiZoom that adds a camcorder style grip and zoom control to your DSLR. This is certainly benefits the the DSLR videographer to achieve smooth zoom transition of the video.

I prefer his way of shooting by combining practical locations and effects as the result will be better, technically as you can see in most movies or television show today. Nowadays, the quality of green screen and CGI environments have gotten to be so good as you can manipulate it easily. Watch this video:

There is also a tutorial made by Videocopilot that you can find it here 

Hope you learn something. :)

This kind of wide angle is usually prone to distortion and poor image quality due to extreme wide field of view. Luckily, this is almost not happening for the Distagon 15mm t2.8. This lens from the Zeiss lens has some special ‘abnormal’ glass that will control distortion extremely well and even at wide open aperture the chromatic aberration is virtually not there.

 

Almost zero distortion

chromatic aberration - virtually not there

chromatic aberration - virtually not there

Looking at the specification already drools me out, but it stops me when I saw the pricetag; $2950. Judge yourself.
