i found this forum in search of DIY equipment for making movies... im from around the syracuse area in a town called auburn... not really a small town because the inventor of audio for movies, ted case, and rod serling from the twilight zone are both from this area... but right now im working on a zombie movie (not some underground noob deal... its not even a horror movie) its a little different than the generic zombie movie or the kid with his moms handicam... ill give more details on it when im steady in production... i have a sony vx 2100 and i just got a mic... im looking to get a dolly and make a jib...

but i have a few questions first... where can i get the skate wheels the ones that run along a 90 degree angle iron?

and not that i care about money to the extent of greed, but only enough to keep me gonig in the things i love to do, but how many people on this forum live souly off of the video/film projects they do?
 
You can go to Wal-mart or Target or any other megastore and buy a couple of cheap skateboards and take off the wheels. Or find a skatboard shop and buy the cheapest set of bearings and wheels they have.

These type of dollies work incredibly well.

I think you'll find a vast majority of the people on this site earn their living in the film/video industry. But there are part-time users who just really enjoy working with video. And that might include shooting a few weddings a year, and a few commercials for some local businesses. These gigs are a great way to pay for future purchases.
