DIY Camera Gear

It's not that we're cheap here at onsuper8.org, but if there's a DIY way to do something (our frankenstein telecine machine for example) we're keen to give it go.

Craig Hollenback of Abracadabra Films has put together a page of instructions to make DIY versions of everything from camera supports and rigs to a fully functional camera crane - all made from pvc and aluminum tubing and a dollop of patience.

As ever, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, which is why their crane footage (scroll to the bottom of the page) is ever so impressive!
