@BillyWearsPrada Yeah, we built our own crane following a DIY guide online. And for the hand-held shots, we also used a homemade Steadicam. Thanks for the positive comments!

I really enjoyed this. Good script, nice tight edits, and great cinematography. Just a few questions:

1. Did you use a Jib (crane) for the final shot? Did you make it yourself?

2. How did you keep the camera so steady during the hand-held shots? Did you use some sort of shoulder harness or one of those things that rests on your stomach?
