As the saying goes, if you want something done right, do it yourself. I’m a big proponent of DIY in all aspects of filmmaking. After all, we’re not working Hollywood, or even Bollywood-size budgets over here. For my first DIY feature, I’m linking you to Ricki the Dude Bedenbaugh’s homemade camera dolly. If you can scrounge up $55 bucks and a friend who can weld, you can have a professional camera dolly that will add some serious production value to any of your projects.  Scroll down a little over halfway down this page and start reading at the post titled, “Jared Lucas is the Man…”

Ricki is enjoying a little time out of the editing cave during a break from working on the Element Shoes video, “Sole” due out in Spring 2010.  If you see him out and about, buy him a Coors Banquet and say thanks for the info.
