Thanks Matt :-)
Here are a couple of videos of the roller coaster, my first ones:
Flat circuit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGEURKbE_gc
360 degree roll: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__7wu3KUM7c
Not too bad I hope, considering it's not a movie camera. I had to use a
floodlight as my earlier attempt came out too dark.
More MOC videos on my YouTube channel:
