Editing Tracking shot (section)

==Use in sporting events==
The "rail cam" made a public debut in the [[NHL]] on November 20, 2006 in the [[Colorado Avalanche]]/[[Dallas Stars]] hockey game. The [[Versus (TV channel)|Versus]] [[cable television]] network used the camera during the game to test it out for a live use on a nationally broadcast program. The camera was fastened to a [[Rail tracks|rail system]] that ran on the top of the glass on one side of the [[ice rink]]. As the play shifted from end to end, the motorized mount allowed the camera to follow the action, sliding rapidly down the side of the ice. The system was developed by Fletcher Chicago.<ref>{{cite web|title=VERSUS To Debut Rail Cam For Avalanche-Stars Game Monday|url=http://avalanche.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=426645|website=NHL.com|publisher=NHL.com|access-date=9 July 2015}}</ref> The experiment was short-lived, and the "rail-cam" is no longer used in NHL hockey games.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Fischer|first1=John|title=Enhancing the Viewer's Hockey Experience with Isolated Cameras on Players|url=http://www.inlouwetrust.com/2010/11/5/1792294/enhancing-the-viewers-hockey-experience-with-isolated-cameras-on|website=inlouwetrust.com|date=5 November 2010 |publisher=[[Vox Media, Inc.]]|access-date=9 July 2015}}</ref>
