Glide Track - The portable dolly system

If only all trade shows could be made to look this exciting

It’s always nice to see Glidetrack products being used to shoot original types of video. We see loads of great variety of coastal sceneries or travelling shots with bemused foreign nationals wondering why you’re filming their little village, unaware of its beauty, to a city dweller who would like to change places for a day.

So when Joey Graziano, a bi-coastal freelance videographer, chose to use his Glidetrack HD to shoot the Agenda Trade Show we were intrigued to see how it turned out. The Agenda Trade Show is geared towards street wear and action sports. Joey shot some brands and booths that he was ‘feeling’ (to use his own words). The following video is a little three-minute masterpiece.  Joey favours using Canon cameras, the 5D MKII being his weapon of choice, and along with Canon 24-70 2.8 L USM, Canon 50mm 1.8 and Canon 15mm 2.8 lenses, he shoots a video that is really easy on the eye with a cracking soundtrack to boot.

Joey uses his Glidetrack HD Slider like a professional – his varying use of horizontal and vertical tracking shots to capture people while popping out from behind a wall or columns of baseball caps on display are really impressive. The two styles of shot that blew me away were the horizontal tracking shot that changed the aperture and focus while keeping a continuous movement and the sped-up tracking shot of people packing up.

This is a really good video to watch if you want to learn how to use a slider properly. It’s so good in fact that if he presented it to the Agenda organizers, Joey could probably get this used in the advertising for next year’s show!

Well done, Joey, keep up the good work! We’d love to see what you do with your Glidetrack next!
