That's amazing.

*Maybe later on you'll consider showing us how it's made?]*

Nicely done, and it will definitely help, but the trick is still to get your minifig to move in small increments ...(as I painfully found out during your animation challenge...). So not only "static" movement (where the minifig moves as a whole) but also "active" movement (where the minifig would also move it's arms, legs, hands or head).

For a slow dolly shot it would be helpfull to have a similar construction for moving the camera! Basically the same principle would apply, but you would probably need loads more of these "teeth" bricks (if you know which I mean).

edit: Sorry, just looked at it again and saw that you DID use this for a dolly shot with the cam. How did you do that? If I recall correctly you have a rather large camera, don't you?

I'll try to upload the unmasked version tomorrow.

Edit: posted it in the Animation Challenge thread.

I'll put my object at the end of the stick. I'll then film it with the stick moving forward by cranking the handle one quarter turn per frame moving the object. And in post-production, I'll edit out anything from the stick, or any part of the mechanism, making it appear that the object is flying very slowly and smoothly. I think I'll play it at the same speed I have here.
Think that's a good rate for slow-motion dramatic falling off of a building shots?

That's a pretty awesome Invention you have their 'Wallace'

That's very imaginative of you. Did you get any ideas or inspiration from something else?

This is so awesome!
