Homemade and Cheap Overhead Camera Rig and Studio Light with Softbox!
We're back! And for our first real post of 2010 we're going to share not one awesome instructables, but two!
Here we go! The first instructable we found is an excellent tutorial for making an overhead rig for your camera. This is perfect for heavicameras that strain your arms carrying all day. Sadly, there's very little stability, and it bounces when you walk, so we suggest using this only for non-moving shots. Still very cool though! Check it out!
The second is a great light for indoor shoots! It combines a regular worklight, with a softbox. This allows a softer, less harsh light, and helps minimize hard shadows, especially important for green screens. Remember kids, lights can be BIG fire hazards, especially when used indoors. As always, we take no responsibility for any damages, injury or death caused by anything here on the site. Just remember to be careful where you put your lights, as they get VERY hot and can cause fires and burn skin.For more tutorials on camera rigs, click here.
