When video taping a concert/stage show, I find footages from tripod-mounted
cameras a bit too static, even if there are several cameras from different
angles.

Are there cheap ways to produce some sort of motion camera effects? Some TV
stations use computer-controlled crane, and some have cameras gliding on
wires overhanging above. I think the gliding cam is probably undoable (the
theatre probably won't allow it). Can you rent a computer-controlled crane?
How much does it cost?

The only other cheap motion effect I can think of is to have a camera-man
walk on the stage. However, this is distracting so I don't want to use this
too much.
