When creating attractive videos for social media, camera placement is crucial. At SIM 83, we are well aware of this, as the correct camera position allows the viewer to experience an authentic and realistic driving experience on our simulators.
Why is camera positioning so important?
- Realistic perspective: A correctly positioned camera, as seen in our recent video, allows viewers to experience driving almost as if they were sitting in the simulator themselves. The camera, positioned just above the steering wheel, creates a feeling of authentic driving and allows the viewer to directly follow the movement of the hands, speed, and turning of the steering wheel.
- Focus on information: Driving on simulators like ours is not only fun, but also educational. The correct camera placement clearly shows important information such as speed, engine revs, and simulator movement, helping viewers understand how the vehicle behaves in different conditions.
- Interaction and emotional connection: When the camera captures the driver’s face and their interaction with the vehicle, we create an extra dimension of emotional connection. This is especially important for footage where we want to show the intensity of the experience offered by SIM 83 driving simulators.
- Flexibility of recording: With SIM 83, we record in high resolution (4K), which gives us flexibility in editing. We can create different formats from a single recording – from shorter vertical videos for Instagram and TikTok to wider formats for YouTube.
- Professional quality and stability: Stable camera mounting ensures a professional look for the footage. Without shaking and uncontrolled camera movements, the viewer’s attention is always focused on the action in the simulator, which further increases the value of the footage itself.
Practical tips for camera placement when filming simulators:
- The camera should be positioned at eye level or just above the steering wheel.
- Highlight the instruments (speedometer, rev counter).
- Maintain clear visibility of the driver and their interaction.
- Ensure good lighting and clear sound.
At SIM 83, we are always looking for ways to improve our recordings so that we can offer our followers the most authentic driving simulator experience possible.
