Premium Members Daniel Stilling DFF Posted January 6, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Did anyone notice that this is all to address a question that's almost 4 years old? Either Sean has gotten it by now, or he went on to greener pastures. Eric, please feel free to voice your opinions, but please refrain from stating them as unbendeable rules, ohh, and take care of your laundry of this forum, it's pretty ugly...

Premium Members Sanjay Sami Posted January 6, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 If you need to move very precicly with a long lens in a perfect circle, why not just rent a circular dolly track? You can use as long a lens as possible and you can put stuff like lights on it. I know Steadi is often used instead of a dolly for the sake of time on set. That's a separate discussion. Often times with roundy rounds, however, we don't start or end exactly in the circle. We either move into it, or move out of it somehow. Something a dolly can't do.

Premium Members Afton Grant Posted January 6, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Dance floor :-) Yes, but anything but a nice, flat, preferably interior surface severely limits the situations where you can practically use dance floor. Stinkin' bunch of pedants up in here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track to the rail or circle to it? I'd personally try for a push-in, but to answer your question: I think consulting your horoscope and cross-referencing that with which phase the moon is in -- with its resultant ebbs and flows -- will allow for a better answer of whether one should spin the stick on the gimbal or cha-cha with the devil.

Stig Indrebo Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 What handgrips do people prefer for circling shots? I´m currently experimenting with different types, like the one where you place your thumb and pinky (to keep horizon) on one side of the gimbal and the rest on the other. See pic.
