helicam

If you need a 2 minute dose of relaxation, check out this video by Jeff Scholl of GravityShots. It was filmed with a Canon 550D/T2i-equipped helicam Whitefish, Montana Scholl used a 14mm lens, filmed at 720p, and rendered at 24fps. This kind of helicam footage reminds me a lot of dreams in which I'm flying, since the helicopter glides so slowly while everything on the ground moves at normal speed.

Here's a nifty behind-the-scenes video by Nissan Canada for a car commercial shot using a 1/10 scale remote controlled car. In addition to using cranes and camera dollies, they mixed in a few Canon 5D Mark II DSLRs mounted on separate RC cars and a helicam.
