cinematography The Cheapest Dolly Ever

I've read that tin foil stuck to the bottom of a tripod can get it moving and sliding with great ease.

Have anyone tried it? If it works it'll be such a great dolly replacement!

Actually, when I was making a short film at my school we needed a tracking shot so we put a piece of paper under a tripod and slid it across the table. It worked wonders.

However this only works on a very flat surface.
