    Hi,

    Here’s a link to the effect I would like to achieve:

    https://vimeo.com/4059097

    Its also used in the railway chase scene from the film “Rock’N Rolla”.

    I have tried rotating layers with masks and all sorts but I cant figure it out,

    Any help or advice would be amazing.

    Cheers,

    Stu

    Stu, for the first clip you could shoot the scene at a high resolution – 4K for example

    then track/stabilise the guitar so that the scene rotates and the guitar remains stationary.

    you’d have to shoot it wide enough so that when the scene rotates the edges of the frame don’t show at the corners

    high shutter speed would be advisable so you minimise motion blur on the part of the image you’re stabilising, in this example the guitar.

    for rocknrolla looks like they used a variety of techniques but my guess is primarily something like a doggicam bodymount.
