Making a camera slider

Making a camera slider was much more challenging than we first expected. as in group discussion the statement of “drill two holes and stick both of the poles in”. once we started to make the slider we realised it to be much more complex, as the only straight metal piping we could use was rusted and weathered so a cleaning process with emery paper (sandpaper for metal). we used this until the surface was smooth and flush. 

then the task to drill the holes into two blocks of wood to hold both of the rods equally apart this was relatively simple and quick completed.

And to hold the camera we chose a solid block of nylon which we thought to be the best material as it was easy to cut and self lubricating so we saw it fit to use. 

Then to add some silicon spray to help it slide along 

Now we're ready to shoot with a fully functioning camera slider
