Almost anyone who posts up their vids or photos of UFO's takes harsh criticism by the tripod police who expect movie quality footage. They need to get over it.
This guide will not create movie quality shoots, but it will give you authentic, verifiable , UFO footage.
UFO's don't stand still for a tripod. Those who see these have barely enough time to grab their cam/vid, and often shoot on the run, or from places that demand hanging on with one hand for balance.
Then we have the Zoom police, who don't understand that to authenticate UFO footage demands zooming in and out, to prove authenticity.
So, in hopes of putting these 'nvever saw a UFO much less video'd a ufo' people back to sleep, and off of all of our backs, here is what is required for authentic UFO footage.
Photo'ing & Video'ing UFO's Using a tri-pod for general readiness to film UFO's, with the camera attached.
You will not get any fast objects or overhead objects like this. A tri-pod is best used for distant slow or any slow moving object, especially daytime. You can use your full zoom and get steady images on a tri-pod, but tripods are not practical for general use unless you add a quick release feature available from Bogen.
Hold your camera in your hand at the ready for any activity. If you consider the tri-pod should then be used, then attach your camera. A good quality fluid head tri-pod like the Miller, or Bogen brand is best. Cheaper ones are too jerky when panning and not worth the savings
Producing clear video footage of distant objects is not easy and this is severely complicated by the very nature of unidentified flying objects.
*
Zoom In and Out whilst filming the object. Zoom steadily using the motorized zoom if possible. This will aid analysts in verifying the validity of your footage since objects seen on video will move in proportion to their size and the distance travelled.
* Include foreground and farground objects in the footage if you can, ideally panning directly from the ufo to other non-anomalous objects. This panning should be carried out without zooming if possible and certainly in a continuous shot without using the pause button on your video camera.
* Using Autofocus pan to foreground and farground objects as well as the UFO. There are technical reasons for doing this but it helps analysis.
* Include off-tripod shots with your camera, moving yourself and filming the object at the same time. Take care where you are going as you will be excited and extremely distracted.
* Whilst moving and filming see if you can obscure the UFO behind a foreground object, such as a tree or a house. If the UFO is close then moving and filming the UFO's change of perspective and aspect, against a farground object such as a plane or a hill, will add validity to your footage. It is best to only partially obscure the UFO if you can do it.
* Film people things and places if you have a time and date stamp option, use it. Anything that can verify when the footage was taken will help to correlate it to radar traces, other peoples sightings etc...
* If you have an infra-red option remember to use that too.
* If you have a still camera use that too. A still camera's zoom lens will give much higher definition than a video camera's.
Happy Hunting !
