Hollywood style for your home movies

Tip 1: Use a dolly
Some of the smoothest, most cinematic moves you'll ever see are dolly shots, where the director mounts a camera on a wheeled tripod and moves it toward or away from a stationary subject. How can you do it? Simple:
· Fake a dolly with a skateboard or a pushchair (minus the toddler, of course).
· How about a rolling office chair? You'd need a dolly driver to manoeuvre for you, but with a couple of rehearsals, you could get an interesting new shot.
