Steadicam Shot

The operator carries the camera so the frame has small irregular drift and shake; shaky cam exaggerates it.

This is for a motion graphics video. In [scene], give the camera a "Handheld" feel (also called a handheld shot or shaky cam): it is carried in the operator's hands, so the frame never sits perfectly still.
The whole frame should drift and tremble in small, irregular ways, with the horizon wobbling slightly — never a regular back-and-forth — while a Steadicam shot along the same path would glide without any shake.
Keep it going for [duration]; hold it subtle for documentary realism, or exaggerate it into shaky cam for chaos.

The camera pivots up or down on a fixed spot; unlike a pedestal, the camera body does not rise or fall.

This is for a motion graphics video. In [scene], move the camera with a "Tilt" (also called tilting or pitch): it pivots up or down on the spot.
Everything in the frame should slide vertically together at the same speed, with no depth shift between near and far layers — that is what separates it from a pedestal.
Run it over [duration], and ease into and out of the move so it does not start or stop abruptly.

The camera travels with a moving subject from behind, in front or alongside, keeping a steady distance while the background streams past.

This is for a motion graphics video. In [scene], move the camera with a "Tracking Shot" (also called a follow shot or travelling shot): the camera travels along with a moving subject.
The subject should keep its place and size in the frame while the surroundings stream past, near layers faster than far ones — in a truck, the subject slides across the frame with everything else.
Run it over [duration] at a steady pace that matches the subject, staying the same distance from it.

The camera body slides sideways, so near objects shift more than far ones, which distinguishes it from a pan.

This is for a motion graphics video. In [scene], move the camera with a "Truck" (also called a track or crab shot): the whole camera travels sideways.
Near layers should slide across faster than far ones so the scene gains depth — that is what separates it from a pan.
Run it over [duration], and ease into and out of the move so it does not start or stop abruptly.
