So in this day and age of film making and photography, things can get a little pricey. That's a given. But a nice rule of mine is to always try to beat the system. 'Do It Yourself' creations are a nice way to get 'prosumer-ish' quality for very very VERY low cost. Seeing as the typical Media and Arts NSer always has a little eye for innovation and creation, I say, why not show it off?
Here's a nice little format to make things clear and easy for others to marvel over.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
i) Name (either your own name, or common name) of your creation
ii) Pictures and Video to show either physical look of it or how it performs
iii) Price it cost to build
iv) Time it took
*****************************************************************************************************************************
So without further ado, here's my example---
i) Glidecam (/wigglestick)
iii) About $40 even
iv) 4/5 hours of build time / 2 trips to home depot
i) Camera Slider (Tripod attatchment)
iii) $15 for material --- $40 for used tripod
iv) 4/5 hours of build time / 2 trips to home depot (as well)
NOW YOUR TURN! LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT!
