Dan - That was exactly my goal. I bought it off of Amazon when I needed a second cart for shooting a job at Honeywell Aerospace. I liked the idea of the wide tires for going over rougher surfaces, and it is a great cart for that. Rock N Roller makes a wide range of carts in different sizes. I first saw musicians using them and after buying one for my musician gf, I got one for me too.
I used to shoot a lot or this kind of stuff on film - though it was all 4x5 not 8x10, and back in the day, we would spend hours making sure everything was as clean as possible and leave the set up until we saw processed film and re-shoot if there was something that had been missed. It was probably not possible twenty-five years ago to make this image, that is true. But today, you could shoot it on film, scan it all and cobble it together the same way. That would work, but no one would have the budget to process or scan that much film, let alone the time. The total time for this was about five hours.
That being said, about four years ago, I did a shot of a turbocharger for Honeywell that I like so much in digital that I went out and bought a box of 4x5 T-Max100 and shot twenty sheets - two sheets each of ten focus slices. I drum scanned those at 2667 for approx. 800mb files and put them together for a fully focussed image. Neither Ps nor Helicon would actually work on files that big. I mean, both programs got through the process, but the results were horrible and in order to actually do the project, which was a month long labor of love for me - I used Align Layers in Ps get the layers the same size and manually masked and painted in all the relevant focussed areas. That was the most time consuming and tedious digital job I've ever done, but it made a really beautiful image and made me appreciate what Helicon does when it works correctly.
