what did you use to do the rotation? i love this look and have always assumed it was some crazy programmable electronic tripod...but I know it's gotta be something much simpler than that! heh

We rented a rotating platform from a company that provides them for use on floats in parades. It a hundred bucks for the day or something. It just connected to a car battery. We put the camera on a tripod on the platform, loaded it down with sandbags, and that was it.

I called it "ghetto motion control".

My favorite part is cop in red and animal (bear?) with accordeon. Cool :D
