I got another one of my 48hr Film Project “to do’s” off my list tonight. I had to strengthen the camera jib I built a while back. See this link. When I first built this jib… Okay, okay, I’ll tell you what a jib is! It’s another camera tool I’ve […]
Remember the problem with my dolly modifications for the 48hr film project coming up? I think I might have solved my problem. When I first built my dolly I used some plans that called for the use of skateboard wheels – two on each axle. Then I would lay down […]
