Literally a couple of days after coming up with the idea I was ready to do a test.
I booked out some sound recording equipment, a camera, a monitor and a jib.
I only had an hour and a half to play with so I filmed what I found close to the media centre.
Half of that time went on setting up the jib. My cameraman James and my sound man Paddy werent trained on it and seeing as I was pretty inexperienced on it, the instruction manual came into play.
Here's what I came out with in the end:
Yep, only three shots and they didn't come out great.
Besides from being a bitch to lug around shot after shot, the jib was also not steady enough for what I wanted. It also meant when I was editing them together, each pipe would start as a slow movement, get faster, then slow at the end. I want a consistent speed.
I also made the mistake of shooting in 720p with 25 shutter speed, so the movement was blurry as hell.
An alternative method is required.
