Sometimes pretty big details are missed when you don’t pay attention. Normally I wouldn’t post videos that are politically oriented. I usually get my news about the world at the dinner table which is usually filtered by the people around me for all the nonsense that is printed in them mainstream media. A discussion usually ends with, “You should read up on the news more often.” to which i reply, “I have no need, especially when I have wonderful people like yourselves to sum it up for me in a nutshell.”

Some of you are wondering, “How did they do that?” — Its called Adobe After Effects. If you want to learn how to do something similar to that check out VideoCopilot.nets tutorial on the Advanced Car Hit for more info.

The producer of the autumn video (Paul Frederick) I posted yesterday had another video on this awesome slider tool called the IndiSlider. Watch the video below.

See what sort of results this sort of tool can produce if you know what you’re doing:

The IndiSlider comes for about $500 at their website IndiSystem. I figured that is out of the budget for most people so I figured maybe there is a DIY system out there that can produce similar results with a bit of creativity.

I found this video on YouTube that shows you how you can turn your camera tripod into an effective tracking dolly using some PVC Pipes.

One of the related videos was this video of a ladder dolly system:

I followed the link on the video to their websites where they seemed to have a bunch of awesome equipment that can come in really handy on a shoot. The prices are very affordable if you’re doing an indy-film shoot on a tight budget.

• They have number to tracking and dolly systems to choose from…
• …as well as a good suction pad systems to choose from to mount the camera on your vehicle during the shoot to give you that creative angle for your film.
