In the briefest terms, my project consisted of mimicking an accessory to blockbuster films. Camera cars; are normal cars but with cameras strapped and wrapped to the top of them being able to flux on close to about 5 different axes. When I originally planned and mapped out this idea, I was under the impression that I’d be able to make what I wanted, with the vehicle of my choice; enter the Kamera Kart. The kamera kart was originally supposed to be a rudimentary product that could squeeze the fun out whether you were recording or just simply cruising for fun. I was under this impression until a hiccup in the process happened and required me to switch gears (quite literally and figuratively) and move over to a car.

after waiting for some time to hear back from my mentors I was finally able to get down to business. but that business needed to be done in a short amount of time, which put me in quite the pickle, but after coming to terms with that, I decided to just craft up a prototype of what my masterpiece could look like.

what you see before you is my initial attempt at creating a miniature scale camera car. a lot of tedious mental effort went into this project. what once was supposed to be a go-kart with a camera on it turned into almost a full-scale camera car

below is my first rendition and the process of me creating it.
