    Hello,
    I am making a short movie and I need a cam that sits on a flying arrow.Is there a tutorial how to make such an effect? I've seen this in films like Robin Hodd, but I think it's a real camera,Is not it?
    Thanks for answers.

    “Return of the Jedi”- great vfx!
    Dave is right- that’s the way you do it in production. However there may be ways to do it in AE- but that depends a lot on your shot. Do you have a storyboard you can post? This way we may be able to provide other options.

    Thank you
    i will try it this way but i think without a stadicam it could be difficult^^ Do you think that when i go very slowly with my cam and speed it up after it will work? Or should i make stop motion with a photo at every step?

    if you could set up a steel cable at a decent height, then you could suspend the camera on rollers- kinda’ like a telecabin – and move it along the cable.
