For part of our pinball idea we are going to film a close up of the ball running down the tracks. We are going to create this effect by using a large metal ball about 7 inches and build a track using flashing neon tubes that the ball can run down and filming this with a tracking shot. We are going to station the camera on a set of tracks and have the camera in-between the two rails that the ball is coming down and pull the camera back as the ball rolls down the tracks.

 

 

 

 

we have ordered a ball for this set
