I saw this recently and am in the process of creating one myself - I thought some of my readers may also enjoy creating their own very affordable camera 'slider'. This is essentially a camera mount that is used to move fluidly across a shot in a scene...instead of panning left or right, where the camera pivots - the slider provides a shot where the perspective moves through or across the subject.
It can be quite beautiful and dramatic, and we are seeing more and more of these shots in contemporary videos. This is especially true when HDSLRs are being used. In fact the video tutorial is titled DSLR SLider, but you could use this for most any smaller (and lighter) video camera as well.
Thanks to Peter Wiren of Sweden for sharing this idea with us all - you will find Peter via his website here: http://www.peterwiren.se/
