Have been tinkering with this idea for a while now - but it's only ever been just that.. an idea..
Now, however, I think that some of you could really utilise the SNORRICAM!
As you can see, it's basically a camera attached to the protagonist of your shot - and I must admit, ever since I saw The Hangover, (the wake-up scene 1:29 to 1:38 - see URL below - they disabled the embed code), I've been intrigued as to how you could create this shot...

And I really think we can make one, here at ECS!!! What do you think?? I mean, I can see a use for it in ALL of the groups..
Sure, it looks a bit complicated to build, but with your practice techniques, am confident you could knock up some kind of harness and attach the flip, no problem!!
Here's a brilliant example of how it could be used:
I'm not for one second suggesting we all start chopping wood up and measuring 'elbows' - but I'll bring in some gaffer tape tomorrow and see what you all think..
I also want you all to start thinking of ingenious ways to create a panning shot - as no one's really bothered with that so far - but with the use of toy cars, skateboards, shopping trolleys - and now you've all got the ever so mobile flip cameras.. think you could all have a go at enhancing your films somewhat...
There are LOADS of test films for flips, other cameras on Youtube.. far too many for me to put on here - do have a look, will be well worth it.
Snorricam - brilliant name! Can't help thinking our attempts at creating one would make it look like some sort of Saw contraption..
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately had to use the Windows 7 version of iMovie (Movie Maker Beta) to create that little vid, by the way.. much longer process. Excited to hear your idea tomorrow!
That looks so cool! All credit to Millie for that video by the way :) And I definitely think we could use the Snorricam in our film for when Millie's going around the house waiting etcetera :) I'm excited to make our own!
