Creative Camera Moves and Transitions You Can Use on Your Next Music Video

Learn how to use camera work and shot transitions to make a creative, high-energy music video.

Music videos are a filmmaker’s best friend— or at least they should be. They typically require less time and money to make and, most importantly, give us a chance to experiment with ideas and explore our creativity. If you’ve got an interesting vision for your next music video project but aren’t quite sure how to give it the look you want cinematically, this video from Cinecom might be helpful to you. In it, Jordy Vandeput goes over a handful of creative camera movements and shot transitions that are simple to pull of and can be done with nothing more than an inexpensive tripod and slider. (No need for any spendy robots.)

A ‘Creed’ Sequel, Robert Zemeckis, Tyler Perry, & More Trailers You May Have Missed

Staying on top of the trailer circuit is a full-time job in and of itself. We’re here to help.

A mix of films opening this Summer and Fall make up the below crop of previews for this week’s Trailer Watch, including Sundance hits, Netflix comedies, anticipated sequels, and the return of filmmakers Tyler Perry and Robert Zemeckis. While no documentaries are represented outright, we are featuring two films that were, at the very least, inspired by the form (Skate Kitchen from doc filmmaker Crystal Moselle and Zemeckis’ Welcome to Marwen, based on the 2010 documentary Marwencol), proving that one can certainly provide inspiration for the other.

We’ve been proud to partner with Kaiser Permanente as part of Find Your Words, a national public health awareness initiative focused on starting a conversation around mental health and wellness, by recording, preserving, and sharing conversations between people who’ve experienced depression and other mental health conditions and the loved ones who supported them through it.

Find out more about the project at findyourwords.org, and listen below to a few of the conversations we’ve collected.

Anthony and Judy

Anthony talks with his mother, Judy, about his struggles with schizoaffective disorder, anxiety, and depression.

Leo and Marc

Beth and Shawn

Weird World Cup x Football Beyond Borders

Our good friend Gordon Reid and in collaboration with designer Callum Stephenson have set up a fun World Cup project. For this project they have commissioned 20 artists and designers from Yarza Twins, Velvet Spectrum, Brand Nu, Hey Studio, Craig Oldhamm, and to name a few. Why? To celebrate their favourite weird or hilarious moment from previous World Cups. All of the original pieces are then to be printed on beer mats and ‘exhibited’ in pubs around London in time for the World Cup. Check it out!

We invited twenty leading designers, illustrators and creatives to celebrate their favourite hilarious, weird and wonderful moments of previous World Cups by creating a piece of work to represent that moment. These pieces have then been printed onto limited edition beer mats and are being ‘exhibited’ in pubs around London right in time for the World Cup.
