    1- Avoid handheld

    No movement looks better than bad handheld movement


    Use a shoulder rig

    2- Zooming
    Never zoom
    Zoom make feels like somebody's watching you

    3- Smooth movements
    Invest in a stabilizer, bend your knees when you walk

    4- Depth and foreground


    One way to create depth is to put something in the foreground to show
    the movement

    5- Motivated movement
    If we move from one person to the other, we can follow the second one to
    our destination
    Move with and in the direction of someone or something, it will seem
    natural

    6- Minimize rack focusing


    Don’t change focus from close to far too often
    Just one or two in the whole movie

    7- Shoot for the edit


    Use the gimbal to create transition
    End shoot A with a whip or a pan and start shoot B with a whip or a pan

    8- Plan out your movements


    Don’t move the camera for absolutely no reason
    Move the camera for a reason
    For example if something change in a conversation, move the camera
