RE: I Bought A New Piece of Film Equipment

Heck yeah dude! That's so awesome, I'm glad to see you found an even better solution than the one I suggested, this is fantastic for what you're doing! Great snag!

Sort:  

I was going to go for the one you originally linked me but then when I saw this I figured I'd just go for it.

It was a chunk of change, but I figured I'd be better off taking the hit with this one once I started coming up with other ways to use it.

I'm looking up smaller camera mounts now so I can set up a camera off to one side, as well as the overhead. By the look of it, they're about 35+ so not too bad.

Definitely. This looks like it gives you great height so anything like models/clay work/etc will be perfect with this setup. Having the additional off-to-the-side tripods will be super handy too!

Also, something that I'd love to try out with it is - it's a bit mad - try passing shots of models.

I have these tracks and wheels that go on it, that you can set a moving speed. They take the DJI camera.

The tracks would be mounted upside down, passing above a model shit, or even a mini city diorama for example.

Then you can repeat the same pass multiple times. One with full lighting, one with less light, one with small LED detailed lighting. Plus many more passes for different conditions. With all of them, you can composit them all as one clip and end result could be really cool looking.

They done similar passes with the ships in Star Wars, so trying to replicate some of that would be really fun even just for tester shots.

Oh heck yeah that would be so cool to see!!
