Videomaker's Wheelchair Dolly 101

[MrDouglasSawyer]

Nothing beats a golf cart!

[illinoislatino]

wheelchairs are more expensive

[Whyrendog]

going to craigslist for wheelchairs...why didn't I think of that before we actually shot a film for class and used a wheelchair that was in a room and I never thought of getting my own lol.

[LooneyM3]

@Whyrendog if you would have read Rebel with out a Crew from Robert Rodriguez.. you would have known as well.. Great Book by the way!!!

[95bradders95]

thank you, this is a great idea, 5/5

[sodiumwinter]

Its shakier than good handheld. Only works well with a steadicam.

[BZLProductions]

I use a portible camera dolly that i got for $90. Can only be used inside :(

[eragon22125]

Lmao.

[thatricankidd787]

i dont recommend this too much.. i myself am in a wheelchair and i am a video producer.. what happens is that when the wheelchair is rolling the front wheels pick up every single little bump. so unless you have a COMPLETELY flat and bump free surface you will still have shaky video

[zmatt]

Go to goodwill or something...

[Greathome2]

sweet

[cbas]

ahhh but it was really shaky???

[fabricekanda]

I think its because he used hands to hold on camera

[dingus142]

Are you in Chico ca in this video!?

[piron416]

a wheelchair cost alot plus you want get a nice photage if u r pushing it on a rough ground, a dolly is the best work for a pro look photage cost lil

[AmFilms123]

Robert Rodriguez did that for El Mariachi! :-)

[johngkeir]

what if you dont have a wheel chair floating about ???

[fabricekanda]

brake your leg and arm and Mama will buy you one and you see how easy it is to get you one?

[LauxJonaS]

latscho

[xunacabeza]

I'm learning to use my chair and your video is really helpful. In fact, can I add it to my site?

Sorry - I know my English sucks :).

[foodlover12]

[xunacabeza]

Tnks.

[foodlover12]

your welcoms

[guationsi]

geile trick

echt crass

[freakenshtine]

its a really good tryck... ...but i dont have enaugh cash to buy a wheelchair... ...i thinck...

[NotSoUniversal]

[Ilianiz]

freakenshtine: just break your leg and the hospital will lend you one...

[mrdeleted]

haha ya break a leg!

[UploadPancakesHere]

Thanks for the tip... Awesome, I found a wheelchair and it works great.

[Nusantaraku]

Another great tip! Thanks man! ~NH

[kalaniman1]

where do i get a wheelchair from

[sonicballer8888]

the wheel chair store duhh!!!

[ConArtist01]

That was nice of the friend to push the other dude, keep at it an your doing nicely!

[Tarantino06]

the whole point of a dolly is for the video to be stable and not shaky, a wheel chair dolly just completely defeats the purpose

[Hensell]

yeah you are totaly right

[Hensell]

yeah you are totaly right

[legonoga]

no girlfriend

[Treskate]

Simple and works great. I seen them do this on Dawson's Creek also. Hhaha.

[Louisvillecpl24]

nice... thanks for the ideas

[sirirutjung]

I will willpower you. um, ...

what is your name?

[newzikiwi]

Isaac he says at the start and in the description

[TheConvergence]

aslhley

[motomoto15]

nice, short, simple, and to the point ,thank you ...very informative and practical...keep it up....

[pasqualuccio]

you problably can do that with a pickup truck, but it will be extremely hard to stablize the video, but if you can, then it would be a cool pan. Since the back of pickups tend to bounce up and down, you will have a grinding effect. I tried it with an atv and the stability was terrible. We actually attached a tripod on the front of the atv. It was fun to film though.

[cooldharkanein]

hi Videomaker...ths is Dr.Aryan..Im too new to this site n ur videos..so commenting or judging now wudnt be fair..but..yeah it is a constructive experiment n whatever is creative can nvr be non apreciable or worthless..so keep it up buddy...I can feel tht pre n post-experimental 'adrenalin rush'..All the best.

[koloret]

Your movies greet observe as movie build (create) know english use .Nie that dictionary and due to for informations. Happy new year 2008. I salute from Poland Michał

[geogenerated]

Na zdrowie, Michal. i szczęśliwy nowy rok. nie mówię w Języku polskim, ale będę posyłać wam dobra łączność dla tłumaczenia zwrotu. Dobry dzień. :)

[amklon2clark]

making videos with wheelchair? i think it is shaky and just ok. try making videos with 4 bmx bike tires on a quadpod :)

[CRAZYconTHEsk8er]

is there any videos on it? what's a quadpod?

[amklon2clark]

...for example: tripod = a 3 legged object as a cauldron, stool or table.

...quadruple = consisting of 4 parts.

...4 bmx tires installed & assembled for improvised quadru-pod. thank you for your time.

[vgasparis]

No offense to disabled people but since I am not disabled I'd look like a retard riding a wheel chair for no reason, so, no thanks :)

[cessna72973]

The Wheel Chair is a wonderful idea, to be used a single tool in your tool box of video tools. Use it where it works best and stay within its limits. Excellent Idea... :-)

[skaterboy3266]

r u in chico?

[videomaker]

Yes, Videomaker is located in Chico, Ca.

[jjkrol0601]

pretty good idea but i think the shots were a little to shakey for video or movie quality you are better off just either buying a dolly such as the painted sheep or making one yourself.

[crapper1]

mm i am going tomorrow now to the thrift store to get one and all i thought they were good for is rolling your friends in a bush

[cuzpix]

if you can, a bike works too

[rekabm]

I just think Issac is hot!

[Paintedsheep]

Stop messing around and go buy a paintedsheep dolly seen here on youtube. Usable with straight or curved track.

[youngdirectorgames]

Wow I thought you needed a car to do that! Thanks videomaker your articles and videos are amazing and just a couple minutes ago I subscribed to your magizine!

[dilwaly]

how can i can make in may avi music?

[juliijulii]

Just thought I'd add that if you use anything with inflatable wheels, deflate them to half (you have to experiment). That way you'll be able to ride over small bumpy surfaces smoother.

[SanitySource]

good idea

[tecjvc]

Very clevor, good job

[stenchinator]

wow, that was informative lol. the shots weren't overtly shaky, but they certainly weren't fluid either.

[buchnermarkus]

An office chair with weels is also good, just without the handles.

[SnottyAust]

A wheelchair or maybe something else, i get the idea. Ta

[reymengwapo]

Wheelchairs might be expensive today but you're sure to need them later (in life).
