Remote head (camera)

Index Remote head (camera)

In cinematography, remote heads, also known as 'hot' heads, or robos (robotic cameras) are motorized mechanical and/or electronic devices that are used as a mount for film, video or digital cinema cameras and can be controlled from a distance. [1]

Cable-suspended camera system

A cable-suspended camera system is a system of cables above or along an area to be filmed or videoed, over or along which an attached camera head travels to achieve required camera angles.

See Remote head (camera) and Cable-suspended camera system

Camera operator

A camera operator, or depending on the context cameraman or camerawoman, is a professional operator of a film camera or video camera as part of a film crew. Remote head (camera) and camera operator are cinematography.

Cinematography

Cinematography is the art of motion picture (and more recently, electronic video camera) photography.

See Remote head (camera) and Cinematography

Color balance

In photography and image processing, color balance is the global adjustment of the intensities of the colors (typically red, green, and blue primary colors).

Computer-generated imagery

Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is a specific-technology or application of computer graphics for creating or improving images in art, printed media, simulators, videos and video games.

Crane shot

In filmmaking and video production, a crane shot is a shot taken by a camera on a moving crane or jib.

Dutch angle

In filmmaking and photography, the Dutch angle, also known as Dutch tilt, canted angle, or oblique angle, is a type of camera shot that involves setting the camera at an angle so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of the shot is not parallel with the bottom of the frame. Remote head (camera) and Dutch angle are cinematography.

Gamma correction

Gamma correction or gamma is a nonlinear operation used to encode and decode luminance or tristimulus values in video or still image systems.

See Remote head (camera) and Gamma correction

Jib (camera)

In cinematography, a jib is any boom device used to mount a camera on one end, and a counterweight with camera controls on the other. Remote head (camera) and jib (camera) are cinematography.

Match moving

In visual effects, match moving is a technique that allows the insertion of 2D elements, other live action elements or CG computer graphics into live-action footage with correct position, scale, orientation, and motion relative to the photographed objects in the shot.

Pan–tilt–zoom camera

A pan-tilt-zoom camera (PTZ camera) is a robotic camera capable of panning horizontally (from left to right), tilting vertically (up and down), and zooming (for magnification).

See Remote head (camera) and Pan–tilt–zoom camera

Visual effects

Visual effects (sometimes abbreviated VFX) is the process by which imagery is created or manipulated outside the context of a live-action shot in filmmaking and video production.
