Holy
Bean Bag Batman
By Maurice Voltkofsky
|
 |
When
you take off and forget your tripod at home you'll pay for it
with shaky, "vomit inducing", video images. Of course you
can have barf bags standing by at your screenings or...maybe
there are other solutions right before your eyes. Around the
galaxy and here on earth there are all sorts of camera supports
from fences to benches, and even the ground itself. Still, one
important piece of equipment is missing: The level and supporting
head. |
| Have
no fear, Maurice is here and everywhere! Make your self a
beanbag support. Most of you out there wear socks agreed?
Well take one off and run to your local market, and for about
a buck and a half (That's $1.50 in the USA) buy a two-pound
bag of dried pinto beans. Put the beans into the sock and
presto! You have a wonderful stable and adaptable camera support
that you can just about use on any surface to level and get
great shots.
If
you cant find beans how about dried mashed dehydrated potatoes,
rice or Oatmeal? If you can't find food how about dirt or
sand? What ever you do don't use wet egg noodles. Speaking
of noodles its Chinese food night here in Hollywood and its
way past my feeding time. |
