Hey people, i'm new here so, hello! and i hope you guys can help me out a little!
I'm doing a short Martial Arts movie, but i was wondering if anyone knows of any camera angles that would look particulary good in this type of movie other than the usual shots?
Also if anyone knows how you can get the camera to move forward smoothly on a grassy ground, that would help too, i've tried some stuff but it's still jumpy.
Cheers ?:D?

I am new here too, but some thoughts: Watch the camera work on the "Kill Bill" movies of Quentin Tarentino. Use a track and dolly system for smooth camera on grass-- I suppose you would have to lay down some supports and then sturdy plywood to create a smooth rolling surface; a used wheelchair rolled on the support plywood maybe? Or use a steadicam perhaps. Dolly and track of course for the best motion. If minimal forward motion maybe just zoom the camera? Just brainstorming ideas, I am no expert nor even novice.
Mmmm I wouldn't watch a homage if you want to get the real classic angles... try Bruce Lee, or films like Ong Bak etc.
You might want to investigate a steadycam rig for smooth shots on uneven or textured surfaces.

Cheers guys, that helps! Also could anyone suggest a way of cutting wind out of the sound! It was really winding wen we were filming the other day and it totally messed up the sound!
Put a windsock over your microphone.
