basically you can split your moves but basically you can split your moves up into different sections which can up into different sections which can up into different sections which can allow you to get creative with how allow you to get creative with how allow you to get creative with how you're able to achieve certain shots you're able to achieve certain shots you're able to achieve certain shots let's say you have a two or three minute let's say you have a two or three minute let's say you have a two or three minute long music video move and it wants to long music video move and it wants to long music video move and it wants to feel like a one take and you want to feel like a one take and you want to feel like a one take and you want to clone your subject and have them move clone your subject and have them move clone your subject and have them move around the scene uh now you don't have around the scene uh now you don't have around the scene uh now you don't have to sit there and run the entire move to sit there and run the entire move to sit there and run the entire move just to get your take uh you can break just to get your take uh you can break just to get your take uh you can break it up into little sections and flare it up into little sections and flare it up into little sections and flare will guarantee that the camera will will guarantee that the camera will will guarantee that the camera will follow the same points through 3D space follow the same points through 3D space follow the same points through 3D space at the same speed and as long as you at the same speed and as long as you at the same speed and as long as you synchronizing your camera shutter then synchronizing your camera shutter then synchronizing your camera shutter then it will open
