Rail slider is a device that fully defined what kind of movie can be filmed. It flexible which could fit on variable width of edges of concrete, tracks, hand-rails, also strictly constraint, which will not work on flat surface(people can walk on), hand holding(eye lever), that how people not see the city normally on the pavement. It films track or any surface it contact with to present the movement of track between surrounding views as a comparison. It connects single piece of hand rail as an exciting roller coaster track which leads people into a journey of traveling around the city with a existing routine. People are getting smaller and restricted by a little dolly slider that decide what they could see. But the glory routine is designed in any way that person who films it.
Music is part of the journey as well. "music
does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. " as John Denver said. Music is playing with people's emotion by warm up, break beat, wind back, so is roller coaster. Every track going upward build up tension. When it reaches the top, suddenly drop down make people hold their breath. My movie symbolic roller coaster, roller coaster symbolic people's emotion. Film, music and roller coaster are interactive with people's emotion by the same way.
However as a experimental movie, audio shouldn't overwhelm the footage itself. Otherwise it turns into a music video, Music performs as a song, and what I did match the content of music and film is not considerable important. But footage was taken by rail slider will not affect people's exciting experience by any audio even if it standalone by the original sliding noise.
I think the device still got further development potential. It should get better realistic stimulation by 3D vision. And let everybody wearing 3D glasses with popcorn and drink watch the film. How's that gonna be? :-)

New design
I was doing solidworks of my original design on Saturday night. When I started doing dolly wheel part, I been looked up how to set up the wheel properly, then a image of roller coaster came up. It is somehow what i am after, because the position where it got track is where needed put camera in. Then I look up Youtube type in rail slider, a skateboarder slide down from the rail, which inspired me to stop making the track. Why not use whole lot track that are already there? Hand rail, deck rail. So we explore the city by how city builder wants us to.

Bend track camera holder and dolly
Firstly I came up the idea from the bullet time which take a bunch of cameras sitting in a sequences of position alone curly lines, therefore create a slow motion of 180 or 270 degree shot. I was thinking why not bring up a bend track which surround the object we are going to capture and slot a dolly in to slide left to right(up to down) which create the same shot but slow it down afterward. However we are unable to carry the whole set around city. so we decide to make a portable version of it.
version 1
A bend rectangle as track two support pipes which are able to be extend. There is a platform where to place the camera with a big wheel underneath the platform between the gap of the two pipes. So the platform could just slide from left to the right.
version 2
The equipment was attached to a backpacker. which leave you both hand free for handle camera. I found out a better way to set up the wheels from real dolly in film industry which they put two wheels each corner both angled and against the track.
