A couple of weeks ago we pumped out our underwater behind the scenes video where we included every step of the photoshoot process. One of these steps was how we edited our images. We gave you guys the gist of it all but we thought we could do a more detailed version of a different image so in this video Kevin give a more informed look at his process. This is intended for the more advanced photoshoppers but hopefully everyone can appreciate it in some ways. Hope it helps some of you out there. Let us know if you want to see more videos like this in the future, too.

[There were a couple of issues with our screen capturing, so we have to apologize for some parts of the clip being a bit weird at times.]

So as we mention in our video below, we’ve been contracted to shoot a video in which we’re going to need a dolly and track. The length we need for this thing sort of has to be five feet. We found one system that turned out to be outrageously expensive, and aside from that, all others were too short or too long. That brought us to the notion that, along with many other people out there, we could just build our own dolly that’s perfect for us, but cheap to boot!

The base of the dolly is made from MDF and wood, and a few nuts and bolts to hold everything together. The rails of it are made with some PVC pipe and inline wheels. The track is just made out of some wood and slightly wider diameter PVC pipe. If ever we want to have a longer track, it’s a matter of heading to home depot and spending $22 for two lengths of 10 foot pipe. Not at all a lot of money. The footage we got was really great using the dolly. I feel that as long as you put some effort into it, you can make your own version of this thing really easily and it’s quite handy. Any questions are welcome since this is the first video we’ve pumped that’s about how to build something.

Thanks for watching.
