Track Dolly

So for one of my shots I wanted to create a tracking shot, I did some research into it and found out that they were reasonably simple to make. I found a few videos how to create them and got to work with the help of my grandad.



Here's a slightly tedious video in which this guy explains how to make your own dolly.

This is a short film made by Idiosyncratic Films there is subtle use of a tracking dolly in this film.

Worked For Me (5:24) from Idiosyncratic Pictures on Vimeo.

Here are some images of my final outcome.






Here are a few tester videos i did using the dolly.
