Making Movies

Bob has a new toy and he invited Robert to crew on a test shoot. It’s a SlyderDolly and it helps take some really cool shots.

We met at the Long Branch Nature Center parking lot and took several smooth tracking shots along the creek.

Robert seemed to be having fun, and Bob was having a blast with this nifty gadget. I even got in on the fun.

An unexpected treat: Bob had a small video camera as a gift for Robert. He seems quite taken by it — I expect we’ll be looking for video editing software shortly…

We ended up moving around for about five shots, all on the slyder. We did a couple under human power, a couple under motor (yes, it has a small motor), and one using a rope to slow down gravity a bit.

It really was a lot of fun to do and Bob promised to share the video when he’s edited it.

Robert is already talking about wanting to go back to the park. Clearly a win all around.
