​You might not realize it, but chances are some of your favorite movie scenes would not be possible without a specific piece of equipment used on set. Or rather, two specific pieces of equipment—the dolly and jib.

​

Filmmakers use these two pieces of equipment to create specific types of shots, usually ones involving movement. Dollies are the method by which filmmakers move their expensive camera equipment around, which allows them to perform tracking and movement-based shots. Lights On specifically rents out Fisher brand dollies. Many famous and beloved scenes from movies owe their existence to these dollies. Camera jibs, on the other hand, are the method by which one records panning and rotating shots in a 360 degree radius. They also provide overhead and upper angle shots.

​

Adding these types of shots to your film can give it an extra cinematic feel; however, to accomplish this, you’ll need to obtain the proper equipment. Thankfully, Lights On provides dolly and jib rental services in Kansas City.
