Title: Tracking Rails - on the cheap
Post by: leaf on January 15, 2010, 02:52

I just saw this cheap and clever solution to create tracking rails for shooting video

to shoot video with camera movement like this

but really, he only bought the track (shelving frame) from ikea, there should be a similar solution from another store or it would be easy enough to build yourself.
