Poor mans dolly

Used a HVX on a Glidecam and was pushed on a swivel chair with wheels on the bottom, trying to be as smooth as possible. Shot at 60FPS, I think the effect turned out pretty good.

worked pretty well, how did you do the up and down motions?

Haha, great concept. I've seen home alone sooo many times. I knew the second the music started what it was.

With pure elbow grease, just lifted the glidecam up.

nice, how long have you been using the glidecam? Which model do you have?

I just got a 1000 pro from ebay, but havent tested it out yet, still need to balance it out for my camera (nikon d90)

I would love to get results like yours, i tried it not balanced yet, and it was tricky, and man talk about an arm killer, lol
