Anyway, here's a couple of methods I've used for rotating shots:

Instead of moving the camera for this one, I move the set (made easier with onion skinning). It worked really well with a black expanse as the background, but had a few jutters.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Brilliant idea, simple yet effective. I tried out curved train track and the problem I had was the lack of resistance. If someone found a fix for that, it would work fairly well. The main issue then would be the lack of customization, one turning radius and that's it.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Squid, have you tested that yet? 
I'm interested in seeing how it comes out.
The railroad track also sounds really good, and would eliminate the hassle of the anchor point's plates sticking into frame.

All of my attempts at a curved rig have been simple turntables at the anchor point, a 2X12 plate, (or so) and the 4X10 plate at the end holding the camera. The end plate has some of these [url=http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=2654]round slider plates[/url] on the bottom, and that's it.

The curves come out a tiny bit rough, but still pretty good for hand-guided movements.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[As it happens, I also have been working on a 'curved motion rig' of my own, as my larger project in the making demands it. Although my design shares the anchor idea, I favour using a curved train track, on which I have a webcam on train wheels, opposed to the car wheels + tires that you used. The car tires tend to vary as you shift them, due to their ridges, whereas the curved train track produces a far smoother result. 

But yours is still a very insightful and interesting build. It'd be nice to see it in action!]]></content>

It wouldn't.  Not with they way I have things set up at least.

I have a table, then a little sort of mini table on top of it with Duplo legs.  I have this mainly so that my tripod can be level with my set, but there's also plenty of room for the anchor underneath.]]></content>
