Creating a strong emotional connection with the viewer is without a doubt the most important criterion in a successful image. Nothing will ever supplant that. Beyond that, however, there’s a whole bunch of second tier, more “mechanical” techniques that we creatives can cook up to elevate our images and create visual interest.
One such technique is compositional in nature: creating cool angles and unique perspectives. It’s what makes P.O.V. shots cool, it’s the mojo in those classic 360 degree shots from The Matrix and the super-cool car commercials, and it’s what make those slick overhead shots on Monday Night Football all really sing.
In the 2:41 of this Chase Jarvis SHORTS video, I illustrate the what, where, how and why for a contraption that we built in-house that’s helped me make some of my most-asked-about…[click the ‘continue reading’ link below]—

First off I want to say awesome blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I have had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Appreciate it!
I think the admin of this web site is really working hard for his website, since here every information is quality
based stuff.
Hello great website! Does running a blog like this take a lot of work?
I have very little expertise in coding but I was hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyways,

owners please share. I understand this is off subject but I just needed to ask.
Many thanks!
