Hey folks,
long time no speaky. So, I've been working on a little video over the past couple of days. My first attempt was with two static angles. I own one aging, fairly cheap (and quite frankly, rubbish) digital cam that I use to record video. So no tripod, no lighting rigs (other than an incandescent light bulb on my desk), no screens (well.. I have a duvet). Usually I use the following couple of items to adjust camera angles: i) a stack of books for elevation ii) blu-tac/sticky tape/variously shaped bric-a-brac or stationery that's handy, for angle adjustment Technical stuff, I know. Anyhow, I thought my video would benefit from a lovely overhead shot since I'm recording myself tinkling the ivories (or plastics in my case). How? Well, if you ever find yourself in my predicament, see the following diagram for details. For further detailed assembly instructions, contact me on [email protected]
