Initial dolly shot tests

Dolly's are used to create smooth moving shots, these can be to follow a character, set up a location, add suspense etc. I recently purchased one and decided to do some test shots to try and muster up some inspiration for our film opening. Enjoy!

The black bars at the top and bottom help to give these clips a filmic look, high budget films do this by using expensive anamorphic lenses which stretch the footage, which is then un-stretched in post. I opted for the free method, in adobe premier I took a template of the black bars and placed it over my footage I then stretched it to match the duration of the clip and then as if by magic I got the letterbox effect.
