PTCM is a hub for sharing above average, planned video camera operation; capturing calculated recording angles; maintaining good camera control, general perception, also properly controlling what's in the frame.
Interesting content is not necessarily a solid ground for giving praise regardless of how good the content is on its own.
Please dedicate a minute & read the rules before posting to make sure you don't violate them
Welcome
Strive to credit content creators.
Rules
Rule #1 Unwelcome content:
Graphic and sexual content
Violence, harassment & the encouragement of endangerment of others (animals included).
Possibly unwanted personal exposure
Memes, job postings & politics.
Rule #2 Hate speech and racism will not be tolerated!
Rule #3 Post titles MUST give reason(s) to praise the camera operator in posted video.;
This sub is dedicated for camera operators who are to be praised, not for entertaining content. Posts neglecting to give reasons to praise the camera operator will be removed. Posts also need to contain the video OP is referencing.
Rule #4 No forced sexualization.
Rule #5 Incidentally captured content
Incidentally captured content doesn't qualify. However, a stationary camera designated to capture a specific content viewed is valid.
Rule #6 The means of photography
- No 360 cameras.
- Just strapping an action camera to you while you do an activity won't necessarily count as PTC.
Rule #7 No still photos
It's nothing against still photos. There's already r/photography, we are going to stick to videography.
Rule #8 No drones
It's nothing against drone operators as it does take a good amount of skill. We don't allow them because they already have their own subreddit at r/drones.
Rule #9 No digital effects (pans, zooms, etc.)
This sub is about camerawork done with the camera at the time of the recording, not done in post-production.
The obvious inspiration is our dear subrother:
