    I am an amature video maker and I am wondering if there are devices that I can buy to create certain shots. For example, is there such thing as a sort of track that I can attach the camera to that would slowly move the camera along to create a motion shot? I am thinking about creating my own device of this nature but I would like to know if it is possible to buy something similar? Any extra input is greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Too expensive and cumbersome. Peruse this forum for some alternatives.
