as an untrained swine, i would refer to truck as strafe & the directions an airplane can go would be referred to pitch/roll/yaw…
Is it strafing when you flush the toilet on a plane?
If a camera is on a jib, up is jibing up, but not all camera up is jib. That isn’t a boom and goes straight up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_pedestal

Interesting, did not know sidewards movement is “truck”.
Might be from shooting alongside something whilst on a truck?
When you have rails and a set of axles in holder I believe that is a “truck”. Like skateboard trucks, and train cars have two trucks
Ah! So would the name of the vehicle be a contraction in a similar manner to “car?”
Looks like it came from the rollers used on cannons on a ship, then later became synonymous with a cart for carrying heavy things
Similarly, rail cars sit on trucks, which are the axle assemblies.
Most likely yeah. If I had to guess I’d say it probably started being used as the term around the time filmmakers were trying to get like side view shots of something like a horse running across a plain.
Boom is not correct but the others are spot on
Yes it is. A boom shot is a vertical shot that’s achieved by using a jib or a crane to give it a smooth vertical movement. Example from what I believe is Quantum of Solace. Why did you say that’s not correct?
What’s the difference between client and non-client camera movement?
I’m pretty sure it is a joke, that the client always refers to everything as “Pan”.
Thank you for explaining the post.
Yeah I am so lost on what this means or what point it’s making
“Can you pan the camera up?”
“That shot looked good, just Pan the camera from side to side”
“I want you to really, really pan that camera so that you get the shot in frame as they drive off into the distance.”
“MOAR PANNING”
Haha gotcha
This is for the working filmmaker that shoots all the small local work like car dealerships and nail salons. The client tends to have some wacky concept that is dull, unfunny, and impractical. And is never satisfied.
This is the real reason I don’t like subtitles. The terrible dialogue takes away from the scenery and music, and I don’t want it.
Good for you, Tiffany
Why is it a sin to mute the video and play a different musical backing track? Why does everybody insist I pay attention to dialogue?
Because the dialogue is often an integral part of the experience and by wholly denying yourself paying attention to one of it you’re both denying the artists original vision as well as denying yourself the true experience.
But that’s just me
But why not deny myself the true experience, if the true experience is not something I enjoy?
Do you feel the same way about game mods? Fanfic?
Edit: this is really just another rehash of the dubs vs subs debate innit lol
?!?!?!?
If I had a setting to turn off the dialogue audio, I’d use it. The writing is always awful and ruins the movie for me.
I watch movies for the music, camera work, scenery, and costumes. I don’t want or need people talking and distracting me from what I find enjoyable about movies.
Sometimes I watch movies on mute so I can actually pay attention to them without all the blabbing.
