Handheld Tracking Camera Technique

The most intimate camera technique in cinema. No cranes, no gimbals — just a human following another human.

Handheld tracking puts you IN the scene. The natural sway, the breath of the operator, the imperfect motion . it's what separates cinematic from clinical. Three positions, three feelings, infinite possibilities.
