Dolly equipment for our video


This is the dolly we are going to use in our video, we decided to create a dolly because it would be easier to use and shot will be alot smoother than having to hold it in your hands and walk around a table with it. So we decided to create a dolly with the help of the Art and D.T department. The main idea came from Mustafa as he thought of a good panning shot around a table where we would be sitting playing a game of cards we all decided it was a good idea and good use of a shot so we created the dolly for easy, smooth and quick use.
The dolly was originally seen to small to be able to hold the tripod but we made some adjustments and decided to make the dolly bigger and the holders bigger as well so that the tripod can extend properly and sit nicely on the dolly.


This is ideally what we wanted it to look like with the tripod sitting nicely in all the triangles and giving it enough space in case it falls. It also has quite a big wheelbase which means we are going to have to create some room for it to be maneuvered properly around tables and people. But overall we are happy with what we set out to create as it will be easy to use in our production as it is very light and can be easily transported.
