I still recall with amusement an afternoon in Northern Minnesota where I was filming a Chippewa dance. Some sedate tourists came upon the scene. Loaded with cameras, they stood rooted to one mid-distant spot and began filming the action, all from eyelevel. At the moment of their arrival, I believe that I was flat on my stomach filming closeups of the shuffling Indian feet. (Let me say here that I always wear old khaki on my filming jaunts, so that I am free to take unhampered advantage of any camera position the subject offers.) Some of the tourists, however, began to notice how I was moving about the action, shooting first from a roof top, next from a convenient stepladder, and again from ground level. They too began to loosen up. Before I knew it, some even lay prone with me on the grass for those all-important closeups. When they got home and saw the dramatic difference of such filming. I know that they must have been surprised. I like to think, also, that they would try such filming in the future. Why don't you? MOST MOVIE CAMERAS have different speeds that allow you to take pictures which appear normal, slowed down or speeded up. Each speed offers definite opportunities to the cameraman; discover these and increase your pleasure in picture making.
