On the search to build a dolly

Something good about Medellin (among many) is that many stores are clustered together if they sell the same thing. For example, if you want to buy tires, you will find like fifteen tire shops next to each other.

Today we went looking for parts to build a dolly. A dolly is a moving "cart" or "waggon" for a film camera. So we went to the "woodshop" area of Medellin. Lots of stores selling wood. Perfect. It wasn't hard to find what we were looking for.

Dollies are great for enhancing a film. The camera moves slowly to the side or forwards. It creates that "film" feel. Wanna see what our dolly looks like? Hang on.
