what DOF adapter did u use?

Wow! Those were amazingly smooth dolly-shots. We attempted to simulate a dolly and track by attaching a wooden platform (for the tripod) to the seat of a wheel-chair. Worked okay if the ground was perfectly smooth and level; otherwise not great. For an outdoor track we set up some 2"by6" boards to push it along....was really difficult to move it steady and keep the wheelchair on the boards, especially if simultaneously adjusting focus. Great idea, thanks.

So rad to do the Letterboxing in white. I dig it.

Any way to build a portable track or one that you can take around since carrying a 12 foot piece of metal isnt fun.

DIY 35mm adapter also? ;)

Aah, it's the simple things - so simple I missed it! Many thanks.

I like the posters on the back wall!

Nice Job. I have built a track and it adds great production value to video.
Q. How do you upload 16 x 9 to look like that on YouTube? I use 427 x 240 files (ie true 16 x 9) but they come up with black letterbox in a 4 x 3 window - I am intrigued. Thanks in advance.

Most editing programs allow you to crop with a mask. Just change the color of the mask to white.

hey, awesome job!
i love the do it yourself kinda stuff! 2 things:
1.u can set your computers monitor to 60MHZ refresh rate i believe so that it wont flicker when u film it.
2.thought bout it...and i think a nice steadicam can totally replace a dolly and more!
check out the steadicam merlin!
[i know..its expensive but it ROCKS! :]
bye! :]

1. In Order to change the monitor flicker properly, you change the shutter setting on the DVX100. This video was a test for the Dolly...
2. I own a GlideCam 2000... Thanks for the support.

does it make a lot of noise when you use it? AANNNNDDDD do you think you could send me a few pictures of it, one of those could really come in handy for me.

It makes No Noise what so ever. Skateboard wheels and bearings are the trick...
