Original Text
Stuntman Cotton Mather is the creator of a special motorcycle camera vehiclecalled Moto Cam. It is a Yamaha motorcycle with a sidecar. The sidecar is a tiny car with an additional wheel that is attached to the side of the motorcycle. The Moto Cam’s sidecar was custom-made for camera operators and equipment. Its two seats are like those in race cars, with one seat facing forward and one facing backward. With this arrangement, a camera operator can film from either direction or from both directions at the same time. Both seats have five-point racing harnesses so that the operators can’t be thrown out of the seats. The car has also been modified to accommodate the sidecar and the extra weight of the camera crew and their equipment. Because of the sidecar, the Moto Cam steers more like a car than a motorcycle, allowing it to follow the movements of another vehicle more easily. This makes the final filmed sequence more believable to the audience.

Student Writing
The Moto Cam is used for stunt filming. It is a motorcycle with a side car that can hold two camera operators, one facing forward, the other to the back. The steering works like a car so the resulting film looks realistic.
