Making a Camera Jib

I have built a camera jib. This is an arm that sits on the top of a tripod to hold a camera in such a way that it keeps itself parallel to whatever angle you've set the camera to as it moves up and down. It does this with a parallelogram. I have a main structural beam that holds the weight of the camera and a smaller piece that completes the parallelogram and holds the camera parallel. I use the old pine paneling as material that I got from friends of mine last spring. I also motorized the movement of the camera jib with a geared system. It moves the jib up and down very slowly so I can film time lapses with it. The action that's being time-lapsed is very fast and the movement of the camera is very smooth and slow. This makes for a very cinematic contrast.
