How can i get this shot? - 90 degree top down shot.

Two ladders with a dana dolly underslung would work as well.

Lots of ways to do this.

Just looked at Gaston's pics. That is the way to do it.

Hi

As a general rule, I try to have as less as possible "things" between mi lens and my subject.
On another matter: the image thru a mirror is gonna FLOP, very problematic if you have some text on it....

My recommendation is to go with a more traditional way... It is not big deal...even a good rig with two hi-rollers, some speed rail and a hi-hat will do ( use some experienced key grip! )

Cheers...

Gastonia.
