Ultimate DSLR Rig

Here is a video that demonstrates the rig of all rigs, the ultimate rig, a rig to impress! If you want to look like a professional filmmaker, you must have an impressive rig and nothing beats the rig that the filmmakers at Neumann Films put together! After watching this video, you will throw your puny, insignificant rig away and you will hang your head in shame and may never make another movie. You are about to see the biggest, baddest DSLR mount ever made!

Then again – maybe not. Perhaps size doesn’t matter? Good for a laugh anyway!!

Bullet Time Effects

This video comes from our friend Maurice Ribble (www.cameraxe.com) . When we interviewed Marice on The Fotobug, we talked about the “bullet time” effect that someone created using the Camera Axe camera trigger. This video is the one I was referring to. As Maurice wrote on his blog:

This week I am sharing some work from Guy Viner (http://djstalinphotography.wordpress.com)
where he brings together a group of photographers to create a bullet
time effect. The brilliance in this idea is you don’t need to buy a
bunch of cameras since all your friends are bringing their cameras.
This video goes through how he setup his shots. He was using the Camera
Axe to help time his flashes.

Octopus Steals Camera!

Imagine a camera thief with eight arms, is extremely slippery, and… well, just watch the video!

This is funny now, but I’m sure the frustrated photographer didn’t think so at the time of the theft!

We mentioned this on a recent The Fotobug podcast and here it is for you to see!
