I'm loving all of these dolly and camera rig builds. When it comes to random props, you really can only use them once or twice. With camera rigs and tips related to them, you can apply them to any project you make.

6 years old video but i just made an exact looking one for under 500 Indian rupees. That is around 6-7 US $ Works smooth! :) Thanks

Built this today. Works pretty well. Couldn't find any T-Shaped snap T's at my local hardware so I used a Slip T with female threads and used a male threaded plug. Worked great. Took a little extra time because of this but it turned out very good. I was able to do mine for around under $10 with the same materials as in the video.

Wow that trailer test footage didn't appear to have any slide...

+TheReal META_Z (SUPERMF) It was minimal but actually added some depth to the shot, rather than being static.

This has really improved a lot in quality sense the host swap. I'm glad you guys worked out the hard edges and softened things up a bit.

nice, simple, and sexy. I really appreciate this build! I swear, the switch between you and our previous host went sooo smoothly because the editing stayed quick, fun, and awesome. Gotta love it. Thumbs up

One of the final shots in the film Children of Men when he's running through the city remains as a war goes on around him in single shot (or so it seems) is by far the coolest shot I've ever seen.

thanks for this, this is actually going to be the first build im ever gonna try and make, after 1 year of watching, thanks zack

Nice! I like the combo of PVC and wood, two of the most affordable filmmaking contraption materials! Not to mention the thing works well...

I'd actually love for see more camera camera mounts. These are extremely helpful because videos should consist of more than 1 type of shot. A car / motorcycle / bicylce mount would be perfect, so if you guys could build that, I'd really appreciate it. So, Indy Mogul crew, if you read this, build more camera mounts, that would be fantastic! Thanks, guys! i love the videos!

Great build. Fave tracking/dolly/moving shot(s): John Connor and Uncle Bob talking about where John's Mama went and comeing to the realization she's gonna' blow Miles away in T2. Second is the Hot Fuzz Michael Bay homage/rip-off shot of Angle and Butterman standing as the camera dollies around them. Third is Sean Bean saying "This is no mine, it's a tomb" from Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

I really like this build. The portability aspect of the slider dolly is awesome and will free up tons of space in my gear boxes! Thanks!

I love those little blips of tips and messups you had. It really helps!

Really awesome, simple build that adds a lot of flair to a film. Good job, Zack!

Yes there were. It was very subtle and were made to look they were zooming in. They actually used the slider. Sliders are not just for "Pan" or side-to-side shots.

Going to buid it this weekend but going to make it 5ft long and have joiners so that they can form longer tracks. I will do a video response and give thanks to you guys. This rocks!

I'm excited to see a dramatic test film for once. Great job guys!

DUDE I LOVE YOU my dad and i already have almost everything for this and we're gonna make it soon!

what's crazy is I was thinking about building one of these yesterday, and today here it is on backyard FX.

I'll be damned. I saw a manufactured version of this contraption the other day and thought it was bad ass. Wanted to buy one... so of course I lost the link. Low and behold here it is for 1/10 the price. Nice to see you guys getting back to actually being useful.

I made a dolly like this today!!! It works perfect. My pricetag ended on 61,79$ but it's totaly worth it!! :) Thank for this tutorial!! Btw, I'm from Norway so I guess the materials are a little more expensive here..

How did you cut the T- shaped pvc pieces so that it would go on the rails?

This one was really awesome, very useful. i love the builds that are really practical and can be used in lots of ways.

I just put my skateboard on a table and it looked great!

must be hard carrying your table outdoors all day long

I'll have to try this out. Always love the gear builds.

WE need BFX BACK! seriously, it was really cool, I still don't know why it stopped, even if it wa sonly once a month!

I like how he measured everything with his magical blue sparkily ruler. Also i want that shirt.

I've gotta try this, it will definitely make my movies shots look more professional.

Favorite dramatic moving shot that could've been done with a dolly and slider: Episode 22, Season 2 of Fringe where Broyles and Walter are walking through the old theatre in Brooklyn

That short film actually looks like it could be a really great professional movie idea.

zac, that is the GREATEST SHIRT EVER!!!

Very cool shirt, Zack. Can't wait to see the finished test film tomorrow.

probably the best sollution i found on the internet. Thanks man, getting to work tommorow! :)

Diggin' the Threadless shirt! And I'm also diggin' the new little additional tips! - Jason

love indy mogul so much!

The 3/4' hinge joint is actually one size up from the 1/2' size pipe, which allowed Zach to easily attach and unattach the main sliding part from rails (so that the pieces of felt could be adjusted. I happen to know about the hinge joint because I know of a tutorial from The Frugal Filmmaker that he uses it (the 1/2' hinge for a 1/2' piece of piping) for one of his projects.

neat build zack, all your builds are really good!

this is pretty much one of the builds with the biggest potential to be usefull ;-)

2:28 You can say he... *puts on sunglasses* SCREWED UP! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

For screwing on the pipes: Either cut out or drill out a bit on top of the pipe so that you're only screwing through the "bottom" bit of the pipe. That should avoid "squeezing" the pipe ends and therefore eliminate the "bending up".

awesome build, dramatic test film, wow

tis is bad ass. you provide a valuable service to all. thanks, IMogul.!

Ребята, вы реально крутые!!! Огромное спасибо за ваш труд! Привет из России! (You guys are really cool!!! Thank you for your work! Greetings from Russia!)

May God Bless U and your family.... U JUST SAVED ME $2000 PLUS because I was going to buy the redrock cienma bundle .... THANKS

I'm finally starting to get used to this new BFX guy. :)

I agree, we need bfx!

Puppet Zack was good in this one. Short and he did what he was supposed to do.

Lord of the rings has some of the most dynamic shots that I have seen so far.

Yes, you´re right. Indy Mogul has forgot presented in his video no diameters of plastic of used tubes and T-splitters and how his made adjusted ones! I´m working on the slider like this, but I´m using clips (into a wall) instead a T-splitters. The clips are with large diameter, but I´ll stiffen - steal them with strips ofcardboard or another suitable materials. And I´m shooting the video during my work on it (about it).

This is awesome. The paper craft stuff is cool, but when I look for DIY stuff, I look for something that is durable and will stand up to the rigors of an actual shoot. I'd love to see a Follow focus build

Well, as I watched both, filmriot and indymogul videos I've tried to build two sliders. This one was some how cheaper for me and easier to construct and... it slides better. :)

This guy's good! no dumb jokes! Yeaaahhhhhh!!!!!!

more steampunk stuff would be cool :D also one of my favorite dramatic shots in a movie was in Mallrats where the camera just pans around Lee and London throughout the entire dialogue. Just makes every word seem that much more important

must say, loving the test films ;)

# 302 and im very happy that zack is the host (not saying eric wasnt good) and i wish more gear stuff will come out

My dad is going to help me make this so thanks for the tips!

@Argumentitive that was just a trailer, the full test film comes out tomorrow. but if it's well done the slider should do it's job (aka is used well) but seem almost unnoticeable, so you may have to look very carefully.

know exactly what I'm going to use this for. Thanx Zack!

i bought the Opteka GLD-400 47" 5 days ago for $150.... its about 4 ft long..... pretty much did the job..... but if i want to go beyond that one..... i will use the ideas off of here..... i don't use this for video video.... i mostly use this for time-lapses..... but ..... thats a great concept i might just make one of these in the near future for when i travel so i would not care if its lost or broken

wow your test films are very well done

I dig this this new guy and this build. Nice work!

I made one it works really good for action movies thank you

TEST FILM LOOKS GREAT

i love that test film at the end. it looked really gd

I only watch these videos because I like the "Super Time Lapse Woow"-Part : )

The dutch angle. No special equipment needed, and if done right, can add tons of emotion to a shot.

OMG I LOVE YOUR PACMAN SHIRT!

awesome!!!!! I wish we got more of these camera rigs... props are cool too, but I really wish that we wont get anymore of those make-up tutorial things. thumbs up if you agree

Great video. I was wondering if Masonite might also work instead of wood, just to make it lighter.

Awesome PacMan shirt AWESOME gear build! The bowing could have been from the screws threads. Next time use bolts and nuts with slightly larger pre-drilled holes. Overall I am super impressed with the build. You are spot on with the compactness and usability! Awesome looking test film! The drama is a bold move. I still think it'll have a comic twist, but I would love to be surprised. Easily your best ep yet Zack, great addition to overall Indy Mogul builds. Hidden blades are dumb ;)

I made this and it was NOT a level 8 build! it was a 4 or 5!!! it works great though!!! :) nice job:)

Did you ever think about making Ezio's (from assassin's creed) hidden gun. My instruction are: first buy a nerf secret strike (i got mine from target), then take a splint and strap in the gun with straps on it to the splint, after that, take an authentic assassin's creed blade and put it under the gun (You can also spray paint the it). If you end up creating this, thanks so much, i am a big fan!

nice one and that film trailer was actualy beast looked so real :)

he's using 3/4" PVC Snap T's (they already have the "bottom cut out, and a closed cylinder"), not regular PVC T joints. thumbs up if you were wondering, or want everyone else to know!

Awesome! Can't wait to give this a go!

I miss this show

Pretty Good Build. I love this channel

badass intro i saw it 4 times!

yes, I love these bfx!

awesome! it looks so smooth!

Nice build. I can see I have a project for this weekend :)

wow it looks great! i may make one of these THANKS MAN!

The revolving 360 bullet shot in Wanted :)

that was amazing just like all your other videos!

Hahaha, take your actors out for lunch. xD That's the best advice I ever heard.

Deffinetly gunna amke one of these for snownboarding and skiing. thanks

For those of you who cant find the T joints, you can just use a normal pvc pipe piece slightly bigger than your rail pvc pipe instead and saw it in half.

Am I nuts or is that a new price wheel? Either way, it's pretty cool. I'm glad to see another gear build. The gear builds are always my favorites.

I made on but the screws on the snap tees are scratching the PVC tracks but great video love the slider

@swansealongboarder buy regular pvc Tees and and use a handsaw to slot the tops then deburr with a file. When buying the Tees run your finger through the inside to make sure they don't have stops (ridges). His Tees were strange in that they had plugs already in them. Buy the regular Tees and some plugs and glue them in first.

I'll definitely make this soon!

great video, awesome production skills. Just want to make a point on table saw safety. you should use the miter gauge when making the crosscut you made. it would support the board making it less likely to catch the back of the blade, spinning the board and fingers in to the blade. like I said, nice work. Just don't want some young film maker to get hurt. peace!

Really good.I'm going to add an accurate slider desig of mine to my website and youtube channel

This really helped a lot! Thanks man!

THE TIP AT THE END i swear i rememeber eric beck saying that exact quote O:

@cotton509 its still Indy Mogul. he's not making his own channel. Eric is still in charge behind the scenes and Zac does things at his home. thats why the set is different.

@bsdragons37 I think that will always depend on how high you have your tripod raised, how wide the legs are spread out, and how heavy your camera/tripod head setup is. The question you should ask is how long do you need or want it to be.

Great job, going to buld on today!

i used regular t shaped pvc pieces, i had to put a plug in the top part so i could screw it in and cut off half of the bottom and it worked perfectly. this project only cost me 12 dollars!

your shirts always rock!
