Camera Move Reference Library: 24 Classic Moves

Twenty-four classic camera moves rendered on a readable reference stage, for directors, DPs, animators, previs artists and film students. Each move comes in two versions: labelled, with a corner overlay showing the move name, the live focal length, camera height, distance to the subject, the easing, timecode and a progress bar; and clean, for editing and previs.

The reference stage

Floor grid: 1 m major lines, 25 cm minor lines, and a terracotta origin mark
Hero figure (1.8 m) at the origin, with matching scale figures at 2.6 m, 8 m and 14 m. A terracotta nose shows which way each figure faces.
Numbered 1 m blocks and height poles with 25 cm bands, so you can read parallax, perspective and height at a glance
For specific moves: a near block for the rack focus, a foreground wall for the reveal, and a walking figure for the tracking and leading shots
