How to make a track dolly from cheap parts (skateboard wheels and PVC pipe).

Playing with Ed's new DSLR camera, we did some experimentation to try to get nice, smooth, tracking shots. We made a mini "slider" from wooden blocks and dowel rods, and a ride-on dolly which uses skateboard wheels to travel along parallel PVC pipes. Quite pleased with the early test footage.

What is media? Media is dog of politicians & big industrialist. Now Indian media is world’s biggest fraud media. Indian media is trying to divide Hindus, Muslims & Christians. They want to give fake evidence that Indian saints are f fraud. But the truth is that the 80% of Indian media is fraud. They are use as a dividing & making war in country. By outer sources of country. No Hindu, Muslim or Christian saint's are fake. Media is trying to make forcefully them fake & making fool all the people.
