This is the product designed for professional photographers and film makers/directors. Like the rest of Machess products, CameraWorks has been created with flexibility and scalability in mind. Whether your camera moves are pan, tilt, pedestal, dolly, crane, zoom, or handheld, CameraWorks will be able to reproduce those movements for you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Record static shots using CameraWorks HUD, and let camcorder object create filming path and glide you through it point by point (Point-by-point mode).
2. Record complicated and realistic camera maneuver. While seated on the in-world camcorder object, you may record the real-time movement of Viewer camera using mouse, Viewer’s camera control, keyboard, or the touch pads on the HUD (Real time mode).
3. When you replay the filming path, the actual movement of Viewer camera is carried out by an in-world camcorder object not scripted commands from the HUD. Such mechanism offers better timing and position accuracy, whereas scripted commands are often limited by the script cycles and Internet latency.
4. Import/export your filming path and camera moves for future references.
5. Share your camera view with others when they are wearing CameraWorks goggles.
6. Illuminate filming area using the built-in camera spotlight.
The complete system consists of camcorder object and HUD. Both are with copy permission. Other accessories include goggles for sharing camera and LandMark HUD (Copy & Mod). See CameraWorks HUD product page for details.
With built-in Parcel Safety mechanism in place, CameraWorks camcorder is able to
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Pass through in-world objects without limits.
2. Move through parcels where run-script and object-entry are forbidden (real-time mode only).
3. Cross sim border to the adjacent sim (real-time mode only).
There are certain things, the camcorder object cannot do:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Camcorder object cannot make filming path that goes beyond the sim border.
2. Camcorder object cannot go into parcels where you do not have entry permission.
On camcorder menu, you may access to the following features:

2. Scope:

not full package?
there's no camcorder object for gliding in the CameraWorks pro package as it shown in presentation. where can i get it?
Fantastic camera and hud.
This is an excellent camera for vlogging. I had purchased a different camera hud from another vender, and although it is a good product it is very complicated. with this camera and hud you can get any shot you need. In just a few clicks I created a fantastic video. Worth every penny!
A great tool
When I bought it I needed only the camera HUD but I bought the full package.
It needs some time to get familiar with the Hud but once it's done you realize how fantastic is this tool.
And then I needed to use the Camcorder later so I'm glad I bought both, it's a good tool as well and still learning how to use it.
Perfect For Machinima Creating Camera Paths and Saving your work.
The CameraWorks Hud an Camcorder took almost no time at all to work out how to create perfect Camera Paths that I could Export Save and Import back into a new Camcorder.
The amount of features this duo have is really good.
The only thing you need is time to learn SL Cam Movements and what you can achieve with them and the Camcorder although you will find there are simpler ways by using the hud. .
Excellent System that I would recommend again and again *****
Perfect for Filmpathing!
Easy to use and figure out! Will be a great help for filmpathing and make video reviews of Second Life places to go! Love it!
Wow, amazing tool
I have been looking for a newer, up to date Machinma tool for days when I came across this. After watching the video, I was convinced this is just what I needed. And it is!
It's so easy to use and set up, I'm still blown away from my initial trial run of the camera using 19 view points.
Smooth and not shakey, I am even more excited about shooting film in SL now.
The ONLY thing I've seen that may need a little work is occasionally, the interior of the lens of the camcorder seems to pop onto my screen off and on while the cam is in motion. That could just be based on my settings, I'm not sure yet.
