    Hi guys

    I have been doing more research, this time into Cinematic techniques.

    Before I get into the nitty gritty of it, I just wanted to talk a moment about why I feel that the below techniques will be useful to you.
    It is a safe assumption to make that anyone reading this is going to be using the Replay Mod to make videos.

    I believe that, if everyone had the time and patience, they would master the Mod and start producing super high quality moves for people on YouTube/Vimeo or wherever to watch.

    This thread is just to give you a bit of the theory behind film making. More specifically camera work, which is what the Replay Mod is so good at.

    Most of this information is taken from Wikipedia and some other sites that have a wealth of resources for anyone wanting to step up their game.

    As of writing this thread, I have no examples of the various techniques below but as time goes on I will try record examples and I will embed them when I can.
