There is a National Park about 5 miles away from my house which happens to be a Rock Climbing Mecca. I took out my recently constructed DIY Dolly and my buddy Warren's ZU1 and took a couple of hours to see if I could capture this beautiful of this place.

What do you think?

Still tweaking the color.

Very well done, as i can see the dolly works just fine, and the place looks amazing!

Very nice. Some good angles, cool music, but I would've liked to have seen the dolly used a bit more (just to show off how well it is working since it was in your preview notes). Also, is this playing at 30 (or 24) fps, because it was a bit jittery on my G5, so i'm guessing i might be seeing it at about 15 fps. Just wondering. Take care, and keep shooting! : )

It should be 30p but I must admit that it is not the best encoding job out there. I need to redo it. I don't think my dolly is ready for Primetime. I need better wheels and longer track. Oh and a paint job! ;) . But I must say it was easy to carry around! Thanks for the comments

I know it's a rather personal question, but how long are your dolly tracks? Also, i wouldn't worry about the paint...the color of the dolly won't show up on the screen : ) So do you do the encoding or does Vimeo? I just joined today because of your link...

The Track was only 5 feet long. The shots I used it on I was full telephoto. A giant pain in the you know what!

Very nice Matt. What is the music?

Warren the Music was Swell Season by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova with Marja Tuhkanen and Bertrand Galen.

Man that was a lot to type.

I love Smith Rocks - how I envy that you only live 5 miles from there.
Great shots - did you have a 35 mmm adapter? What lens(es) did you use?

All I had was the Zu1, pair of sticks and a DIY dolly. That broke right when I got there. Thank goddness for Gaffe tape. :)

I am looking into building a dolly myself. What did you use for a track? PVC? Aluminum? What about the wheels? Did you use roller blade or skate board wheels?
