Abstract

Apparatus for optimization of a simulated three-dimensional effect for film or video includes at least one arcuate support rail and a trolley carrying a remotely controlled variable speed motor for moving the trolley along the rail. A camera mounting attached to the trolley is moveable horizontally and vertically with respect to the trolley and permits camera movement at a desired constant angular velocity at a specific and constant radius from the scene being recorded.
