Pointing the Camera at the Monitor… So thats what happens.
Ok, really bored. I was in the car waiting on my wife and was going through the Canon HV30 manual and menus…when all of a sudden — I was distracted by pointing my HV30 camera at the monitor and getting this mirror effect. So I messed around for a minute, then went back to studying the HV30 manual.
So, even though this video is essentially crap, it illustrates a cool effect that could be used constructively for something. May look really cool in front of a 52″ screen as opposed to the 9″ one that I used.
Testing a DIY Steadycam on RollerBlades
Here I am testing a steadycam that I built and designed to let me sling my camera low — between ankle and knee height over the ground. This is my first day out with it, so with a little more work things should get smoother. It is much easier to keep steady when walking, but I couldn’t resist taking it out on the roller blades. Its great for low angle shots. All footage was taken on the Canon HV30.
