I'd never thought of painting my living room chroma key green before. That seriously would make at-home studio work a lot easier...
It's really cool to see this in action. I know the Tom at Timescapes.org, MiLapse and Philip Bloom have all been using variants of this Kessler Oracle motor drive system for their timelapses. Very slick tech at a very reasonable price point (compared to the custom-engineered rigs used on Planet Earth and other similar projects).
Very cool video. I can't help but wonder though that the whole camera rig is ultimately supported by just that rubber track material when it's elevated 45 degrees up?
Impressive. I'd love to attempt a DIY shuttle like this.
Thanks for uploading this! Did you ever find out what the monster was btw?
