TIPS FOR GETTING THE BEST RESULTS: 1) Keep the camera as still as possible. In cases where the camera needs to follow an action, move the camera slowly and no more than 45 degrees. 2) The background should be distinctive. Water, snow, or sky backgrounds will likely not produce desired results. Also, avoid dark places. 3) Because actions performed in place will overlap, objects and actions being recorded should move across the video frame.
