If you build it, they will come.

So, what are my ideas for my role in the Master Shot Sequence? Well I have been assigned as Cinematographer for this assignment and I would like to experiment with camera movement. I have been given a shooting script from the Director (Chic Scaparo) and there seems to be a lot of tracking shots. I don’t think the FST 201 class has access to a doorway dolly, or one of those tripod dollies that looks like a giant T or the other one in the form of a triangle, so odds are that I will need to get my hands on a wheelchair. 



I think the wheelchair would be the smoothest option, as opposed to a shopping cart, and I may need to break out a saw and build a contraption to stabilize the camera around the armrest portions of the chair. Imagine a rolling high school desk with an old fluid head mounted to it. Needless to say, I am very excited to finally build something again with my hands, while being creative for film purposes.
