Building a Camera Motion Control Rig

Do you think static camera shots are boring, with the camera sat still on a tripod? Well, some YouTubers have camera operators, which makes the footage look super fun, and they can interact with the YouTuber too. William Osman has a camera operator called Cameraman John. But who exactly is Cameraman John? I’d love to make my footage look super fun too, so today I’m going to build an AI-driven robot camera operator that can do lots of fun things, just like Cameraman John. I'm using an A.I. deep learning model on running on a Jetson Nano to track where I am in the shot and move a pan-tilt-zoom camera gimbal. There are also some other special features.
