Making the Shot: Gimbal Vs. Handheld
Gimbals offer smooth shots but aren't always ideal. Focusing can be tricky, the "floating" look may not fit the story (handheld adds human touch), and repetition gets boring. Use tools that serve the narrative; mix it up with tripods or handheld.
ND Filters and ISO; a Direct Relationship
ISO controls image noise and adjusts with light—lower in bright scenes, higher in low light. ND filters help maintain low ISO in bright light, reducing noise while allowing creative control over shutter speed and aperture for sharper, cleaner shots.
