Wheeeeeelz

To develop my project, I decided to film Barbican a bit more, this time with the idea of labyrinth in mind, confusing spaces where you get lost etc. However, to do that I need to have steady footage moving through spaces, corridors etc. To make it possible I turned my tripod into a dolly:




This solution was not perfect, the wheels kept rotating and changing directions which caused the camera to shake. Also, because the tripod is too light I could not apply pressure, pushing it forward, as the movement was not smooth. I tried to fix the wheels again, restricting their movement so they all move in the same direction which improved the quality of video a lot. Although still not perfect, this is the kind of quality I can work with for now.
