gremlin_net: warirprncss: After getting everything set up, it turned out I had to move the camera something like ten kilometres in thirty seconds. I'm working on a way to fix that.

hunter_the_crazychick: misterthoth: then why are you talking about renting wheelchairs and tying things to cars when this is all about RENDERING?
misterthoth: six miles?

Turns out I misspoke. It was actually ten miles in thirty seconds, not ten kilometres.

So, let's test out mistersloth's stupid fucking idea. We'll need a camera for this scene:

And we'll set it up to film the scene's subject:

We'll borrow mistersloth's wheelchair:

And we'll connect it to a vehicle capable of travelling at twelve hundred miles per hour:

We'll need ten miles of road for this:

And, finally, something to film:

Looks like the crew's about ready:

Let's do this thing:

And they're off:

And now: the results of the test....

Conclusion: mistersloth is a fucking idiot.
