The track and dolly is a very useful and easy to use piece of productions equipment that helps add an additional level of gloss to your final video. The gliding motion enables you to add interest and can provide important reveals and movement around foreground objects.

Sneak Preview – “What the hell is a Jib”?
With the all important balancing of the Jib completed we were ready to go. Andy provided examples of the camera drifting over foreground and in to a reveal with me doing a piece to both the static and Jib cameras.
