Arcade with various pinball machines and players in a dimly lit environment.

Ikea Hacker features a nice Ikea mod: Romain turns the Ivar side unit into a camera dolly.

"A few days ago, I found out that the Ivar 'wooden ladder' was perfect to use it as rails for my cinema dolly! I can now make some nice sequence shots with this 18€ accessory from Ikea."

Nice design, cheap build. Romain didn't post any instructions, but WonderHowTo has lots of dolly HowTo's. Scroll all the way down for the footage shot with the Romain's Ikea hack.
