That film was made 9 years ago and both our tracking and greenscren methods have improved enormously since then. Oh, and go fuck yourself, by the way.

Oh man, I love the bit at the end. "It's been in the family since... 1982" "It's digital, man!" And the weird looking monster :D very funny!

You are guys are spot on! They did this for the background shots in the Moon of Endor rider scene in Star Wars Episode 6. I'm geeking out. Keep on rocking, mates.

There are better tricks for steady shots though my recommendation is to look into a Cam Caddie. They're efficient and very effective not to mention fairly inexpensive.

@tomkatt747 You could probably get a few of those gigantic poster boards that are like $3 each and spray paint it green.

Not sure if you know this but they talked about this video on the gadget show today. You'll get a few subs i'd say.

Why not Just A wheelchair? I mean yes you may have to lay some wood down to track shots in the woods...but everywhere else is perfect...

True, a wheelchair can be used as a makeshift dolly, and I've used one myself in the past. The plank cam is more for those 'impossible' shots where you can't lay down track without some serious expenditure. Plank Cam 2.0 is much more stable with a counterweight fitted below, proper camera mount and integrated ashtray,

wait, wouldn't the tape wreck the camera. What if you only have a small camera like the canon md225? BTW LOL on the test film
