A vintage Warner Bros. studios camera dolly. Dollies were used in film productions to facilitate smooth camera movements, including such techniques as Alfred Hitchcock's favored dolly zoom. The dolly zoom became known as the "Hitchcock Shot" and later the "Jaws effect" for Spielberg's Hitchcock-inspired use of dollies in Jaws.

This six-wheeled metal camera dolly likely worked on multiple Warner Bros. films, though which specific pictures is unknown as camera equipment was frequently rented out or shared between productions. It is embossed "W.B." on its knurled floor lining, steering handle, and wheels. Included are two padded gray seat cushions and additional wood and metal components for situating camera operators. This lot exhibits a build-up of grime and discoloration. Dimensions: 93" x 42" x 36" (236.25 cm x 106.75 cm x 91.5 cm)

Proceeds from the sale of this lot will benefit the Set Decorators Society of America, an international nonprofit dedicated to promoting excellence and preserving the legacy of the art of set decoration in motion pictures and television since its founding in 1993.
