Slider video of flowers.
I absolutely love the look of video shot on sliders and dollies. The perspective motion (objects further away seeming to move slower than objects that are closer) creates such an awesome dramatic look. This video is intended to demonstrate and highlight that effect.
One of the purposes of this video was to create a video made 100% with shots on my DIY slider. It was really the first time I was able to get out and spend a lot of time with the slider, so I was testing out various angles and setups.
I sometimes feel that post-production slow-motion is used way too much. Therefore, another goal of this test-run was to ensure that all footage remained as-is (other than minor contrast adjustments). Every segment in this video is the "live" slide (i.e. no slow motion was applied to anything).

That's what I wanted to see for some time: you made my day Andrew :)
Any picture of your slider?
Despite the slowness in motion, I see that the 24p jitter is present, on wich I was doing some tests. Now I am reassured, it's not me or my settings.
Love it Andrew, now it's up to me...
I added your vid into my BNLgroup to show this to our BNL friends as well.
I do have pictures of my slider, but not necessarily readily available. So, I did the next best thing and added a picture of it to my profile. If you navigate to my Vimeo home page, I think you should see it there. If not, let me know and I can provide it some other way.
Thanks again.
Can I ask what tripod you use? Seems small, short and light: good for travel.
For the jitter, at some point I think that the stabilizer also can play a role? I'll try some cam moves without the stabilizer, just to see...
The steadycam is one of my next ventures, as I made my own DIY version of that as well a couple weeks ago. I know I'll need much more practice with it though before I shoot/post anything. Should be fun though, and offer more flexibility (if I can "master" it).

videoslider.com There's pictures and a video clip.
Check out some of my indislider vids!!
If I had to do it over again I would probably go with a bearing design. What I have isn't bad, but some of the bearings I looked at seemed to have much more fluid motion. But like I said, what I have is adequate for now.
