I
work as a Dolly - Grip and a doorway - dolly is a good and inexpensive
way to create smooth movement. Just secure the camera properly and
off you go. I even once used a bicycle to replace a Dolly, because
it was very tight and the DIRECTOR wanted a tracking shot. I assured
the DP that I can make it work. I was at the end and another Grip
assisted me at the front and with some padding to comfort the DP,
off we went. It looked quite funny but we got the scene done and
the DP was really surprised at the results.
Or
a shopping cart. Bag the lower part of it. The surface must be in
this case very even and smooth. It works great on office carpets.
With the DP in it and the weight of the camera the wheels perform
just fine. Everything is possible. I hope I was of help. |
