Peter Hoare Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hi, Im actualy an editor by trade (mainly comercial and some broadcast work, using final cut studio 2 system) and I have been doing some camera work for some of the comerical jobs on the side. I recently decided that camera crane shots are a really nice way of obtaining amazing and awe inspiring shots, but comerical ones cost a fortune, and as im not even a cameraman, I thought I would have a go at making one, more of a project than anything else. Well my project got quite out of hand and I now have a 20ft long crane with full pan tilt electronic head, it even has pre programable movments :-D I know this is a professional forum and I am an editing professional but I just thought I would get your opinions on the crane, and with your experience suggest improvments etc etc. I have got some pretty good results from it.... Pictures Seen here with my FX1 I use for experimenting.... Video And here is a low quality video I took on a digital camera of the crane in action. Its quite hard to operate the joystick and the crane with one hand though.... Thanks for any advice, Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
