Tony Hill and his camera rigs

After my last exercise i think what I need is some sort of a rig like the ones Tony Hill makes. His God's View camera rig is a good example.

I am also looking at camera dolly's and their function and my new device will try and incorporate ideas from my current learnings.






After gaining some in depth knowledge about camera rigs I 've decided to move forward with my own project by constructing a new device that can record and project on the same mechanism. I'm thinking of building my own custom track and have a motorised device that can carry my camera or projector back and forth.


converting digital to film

 After realising that my device wasn't perfect I decided to translate my illustrator drawings of the camera movement in a 3D form. I used transparent paper to print on and translated the digital into analog; for a detailed analysis of the camera movement. The sole purpose for carrying out this exercise was to help me think better in terms of what the actual movement should be.
