Fairground Swings Rigging


Scott Peters

Recommended Posts

Hey guys

I'm shooting a short film this weekend, and one scene takes place on a fairground ride, one of those hi swing sets. I'm looking for some advice on how best to rig this. The Camera is a stripped down Amira. It doesn't have to be totally stabilized on the ride, so I was thinking we could just do something simple like add some additional straps for the camera and the operator with a Cinesaddle on the second seat strapped down.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

OP hasn't reported back since the 10th of May??

Camera sitting on a soft mount on an amusement part ride, held only by straps? A bad trip for camera, camera op. and any and all patrons of the fairground. The idea screams out for a rigid speedrail rig.
