One other fun and relatively simple way to get a moving camera/point-of-
view shot is to mount a dslr camera to the dashboard of your car and take a
drive. If you set your shutter to a longer exposure, you get a streaking effect
along the sides of the frame, but the objects in front of you do not streak or
smear quite as much. This can be very effective on a nighttime drive, when
lights (which streak with a longer exposure, like 1 second) are everywhere. It
is critical to make sure that your camera is firmly mounted on the dashboard
with tape or some sort of stabilizing base.
By now, you can start to see the possibilities and variations using the single-
frame camera and the pixilation technique. I am certain that some variations
have not been exploited yet, and there many more that I have not mentioned
in this chapter. Ultimately, you will need a camera that has single-frame
capability, some capture software, a tripod, and most important, a great idea;
then you can start experimenting in this technique, building up a vocabulary
of information that will feed into a finished film.
