i'm working on a short film that i'd like to end with a crane shot pulling way up. is there any kind of homemade alternative to a large crane? some type of pulley system? anyone have experience with this problem? there is a building to the left of where i'm filming that i could get access to a window on the 2nd story, if that helps.

RC controlled camera kite or blimp look like fun projects.
