Rehearsed on one day, shot the next. Shot in HD, so hit the little button! We were really grateful to have so many extras turn up, hopefully we found a place for all of you!

I did a quick interview at sxsw 2008 with lan bui on the Modosteady: 3 ways to smoother video. Set your compact camcorder on the Modosteady, adjust the balance and your camcorder will seem to float as you move along to follow the action. Just like devices costing hundreds of dollars more, the Modosteady makes your camcorder react slowly to your motion providing a smooth image in your video. It s a great effect, useful for many shots, but not all. A slowly reacting camera is not a great way to follow fast action, but a shoulder pod is! Just turn a few sections on the Modosteady, and that s exactly what you ll have a shoulder brace that works like a gunstock, giving you great support, but making it easy to follow the action. Want to get into the shot yourself? Just twist the sections, and pull the cap of the end of the handle, the handle the splits to become the three legs of a table-top tripod. Not bad for an under 00 accessory!

So i managed to catch robert scoble (scobilzer) at sxsw 2008 to quickly talk about the Modosteady: 3 ways to smoother video It s a camcorder stabilizer, a shoulder pod and a tabletop tripod all in a single compact device Set your compact camcorder on the Modosteady, adjust the balance and your camcorder will seem to float as you move along to follow the action.

Here are 2 designs for making handheld camera shooting a little more nicer. By getting your hands off the camera and moving them apart more you get a much more stable picture.

a new steady cam

http://music4yourvids.co.uk There didn't seem to be much help on this subject on YouTube, so I decided to make a How-to video. I just Googled how to make a track dolly , and some of the sites I originally used to make my track dolly no longer appear to be there. However, Googling track dolly skateboard wheels turned up lots of useful sites that should help you. DETAILS AND PARTS LIST: Total cost of the dolly was about £80. Total Dolly size = 2ft wide x 3ft long. Type of pipe used for track = 32mm PVC waste pipe. Angle alluminium width = 2in x 2in at 3mm thick. (2 x 3ft lengths) Carriage bolts: 6 x 4in (to hold the angle aluminium to the board). Carriage bolts: 16 x 2in (to bolt the wheels to the angle aluminium) MAIN BOARD: 2 X sheets of 2ft X 3ft 7-PLY sheets screwed together with 30mm self-tapping screws. Skateboard wheel spacers x 16 skateboard wheels x 16. Dia: 50mm (52mm are also ok) Bearing assemblies x 32 NOTE: Angle aluminium is a lot easier to work with than angle iron - which is very heavy and hard to drill L shape area for the track to sit in) I found wider-spaced wheels were trying to bend the pipe and make the dolly harder & more jerky to push with weight on it.
