Hi, I'm new to film making, I should be getting my nice GH1 or GH2 in a couple of weeks time. I really like the effect where the camera slowly moves that you have achieved with your glidetrack, I think I'll have to get one. Is yours a "Glidetrack SD - 1 Metre" ?

[maiamedia]

@evilgeenius2 Yeah, it was the standard 1m glidetrack that I used. Very good just make sure you keep it clean. I find silicon spay useful to keep it gliding.

@maiamedia I'm thinking about getting the 0.5m glidetrack to keep it portable (and cheap). Would that have been long enough to achieve the effect on this video?

[maiamedia]

@evilgeenius2 Well actually I took the standard glidetrack to India last summer so had to saw off the last 15cm to fit it into my bag and make it handy to carry around. I made this video on my return so it was with a shorter track. I do try to use the whole length because the longer the glide I think the better the shot. Everything is a compromise though. I definitely used more than 0.5m in these shots but i'm sure you could get some nice shots too with a smaller one.

really good vidm8,im thinking ov doin 1 myself what editing software is best 2 use as i tryed editing a vid frm a kodak cam with windows movie maker n the file wouldnt drag across:~(

[maiamedia]

@johnnymucky I use a mac with Final Cut Pro which is quite expensive but there is also imovie for macs which can be good. Afraid I've never used movie maker.

@jasterixstrange Thanks! Love the comparison. Will try not to let it go to my head. We're in the process of making our own cable cam for the next vid.
