Dutti Dolly Matthews Studio Equipment

The idea for the Dutti Dolly came from a need by cinematographer, James Muro ASC. He always liked low shots. And to move quickly. So, I looked at various dollies and realized most of them rest higher on a track. I created the Dutti Dolly not only to rest lower Рbut also to be much more portable.”

“Jim took it everywhere on Rush Hour 3. Fight scenes at the Eiffel Tower. Running shots. And more. Cinematographer Joaquin Sedillo ASC made a lot of use out of it when he was doing shots in the auditorium on Glee. When the aisles were too narrow or the table too close Рhe was able to put the dolly in the row behind him Рand get the shot.”

– James Saldutti (Dolly Grip and the inventor of the Dutti Dolly)
