Yeah, that's the one that I have. if you need a copy, let me know, it's only 27 pages. I'm curious to see some of your ideas, when you have them built.

I'm almost done with my version of a modified Steady cam - just have to finish the gimble part.
built a camera suction mount for the car with a oversized ball head - which i'm pretty proud of. I have to tweak it some more - but i'm happy with it - actually can attach to anything it can get a suction to - glass, walls, anything! I took it out mounted it to a rented 'Stang to test it and shot at around 95mph top speed that night - got some camera shake at that speed and that's what i have to tweak it to stabilize it some more.
You should see the footage - lol - the cars definitly got the heck out of my way that night - lol - which was nice of them - guess word got out that i was filming and once they saw the camera mounted to the hood, knew i was experimenting to see if it would work. i kinda was hoping for a paticular shot style - but with
all cars running quick to get off the road, couldn't get it. So i opted for some derby, parking lot fast turn through the puddles stuff -going throught the tunnel was cool though at that speed.
Since your into 3D moding have you checked out 'Meats' work? i had the opportunity to speak with him a few years back before he got famous - glad to see he made it big time - his work is pretty incredable. my faverote being the statue and the driveway statue works. Geoff does some great stuff as well - his works have been televize in europe - states side still is too fluffy stuffy for his work and/or - they just want to make money by charging to view anything decent these days -either way - doubt you can see his stuff other than the web here in the oh so freedomed usa. Maybe one day though. but check his stuff out - you may like it.
Anyhow - send me that pdf if you don't mind - i'd like to look it over again.
and thanks.
