			<description><![CDATA[[quote=legoguy501]@Brickstory - I'm not sure why you'd choose to go from a dslr to a webcam. I mean, look at ANP's work. I believe it's all in camera. And if you want to see a rig similar to this for a dslr, [url=http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/topic/15864/lego-dolly-rig/]check this out[/url]. Now, I'm not saying you have to stick with a dslr, I'm just a little confused why you'd make the switch, when the quality of dslr's tend to be better (or so it seems to me). Oh well, it's up to you.[/quote]

Yeah, it may seem silly to switch from a DSLR to a webcam, but I have a truckload of reasons. It isn't just that they are smaller, lighter and perhaps easier to handle. My main problem is with light flicker. 
I contacted Squid sometime during summer about this problem, because I knew he too used a DSLR camera. He kindly advised me to set my aperture to f8, which actually helped cut down the amount of flicker. I've learned a bit more since then. Apparently, no matter what you do, something about the exposure of a DSLR camera will always change between shots,causing the light to change. It's pretty annoying to hear.
I've already made this longer than necessary, so: long story short, webcams seem like the ultimate solution at the moment.
Thanks for the suggestions!]]></description>

My rig does work very well for my camera.  With it, I can achieve basically the same effect as Ender's rig.
However, there are still some things that I cannot do well.

For quite a while, I've been wanting to create something which would allow me to to tilt my camera.  Having it tilt more or tilt less as the shot progresses in a very slow manner.
Unfortunately, my attempts to attain this goal have always resulted in failure due to my camera's unforgiving weight.
However, with a webcam, it might be possible to create my holy grail of rigs.

Of course, to a person not as obsessed with slants as I am (every other human being upon this planet) it's probably not quite as attractive of a prospect.

Though, in other respects, I find the weight of the camera very useful.  Just setting it on the set will poise it right around at a minifigure's eye level, and its weight keeps it from easily being bumped at all.

Though, I'm sure that there is some way to build the rig I want, however, I'm not yet sure how to do it.]]></description>
