How To: Build a cable mounted camera rig for overhead shots

Filming can get REALLY expensive, especially if you're just out of film school and starting on your first major short. It requires not only a camera, but a crane for swooping panoramic shots, a mounted camera rig for overhead shots, lens filters, and moving ground camera mounts, among other things.

So save yourself some cash by building your own cable mounted camera rig for overhead shots. This camera rig will help you achieve great overhead shots as well as impressive cinematic angles.
