Cinematic moves that always work
- Reveal: start behind an obstacle (tree line, ridge) and push forward slowly to reveal the scene.
- Orbit: circle a subject using simultaneous yaw and roll; waypoint or point-of-interest modes make it smooth.
- Top-down rise: camera straight down, climb slowly. Great with patterns (roads, fields, waves).
- Parallax pass: fly sideways past a foreground object with the camera fixed.
- Pull-back: start close to a subject and fly backwards and up — check behind you first!
Set shutter to ~2× frame rate with ND filters for natural motion blur, and use a flat profile (D-Log M, etc.) if you grade.
General guidance only. Follow your aircraft manufacturer's instructions and verify regulations with official sources before flying.
