One man's JUNK

Sorry that it has been so long since I last posted.  I just wanted to talk a little about junk, yes junk.  Everyone has some. You probably have some pretty cool junk stored away somewhere right now.  I have found a great use for it, prop building. You would be surprised how many props you can find or make with just a little imagination.  Old cloths make great costumes, old bits and pieces of worn out electronics can be hot glued together to create some great scifi props. Here is a short video on my junk props.

Inspired

Sometimes I am inspired by the simplicity of objects for example a shoulder rig built from PVC.  I thought many times how nice it must be to have a high end shoulder rig with a matt box and follow focus attachment.  The cost of such a rig is however not within my budget.  I then finally came to the conclusion that it made no difference what I used to stabilize my camera as long as the camera was stable.  I then set out to build my own version of a shoulder rig inspired by the frugal filmmaker and knoptop.  I came up with a hybrid of their versions of PVC camera rigs to create my own rig.
