As said by another contributer, a good tripod is essential to give you steady shots and smooth pans and tilts. A fluid head is perfection but can be costly so a fluid effect head is the next best thing. You won't be panning and tiltling in every shot and in the ones you do make sure you have a reason for doing that move. You rarely see zoom in's or outs, do those when the camera is in record pause mode (sorry, if you already now this stuff) and record each scene for at least ten seconds to give you enough breathing room at the editing stage. Using two cams is good, you can get a wider variety of shots but you will have a bit more work to do at the editing stage.
