these are awesome, you guys are reall amusing, especially the small parodies you use at the ends to demonstrate the techniques.
Haven’t got the people. I’m a one-man show. Doesn’t work.
hahaha, amusing way to learn !!!
@golfthewlis Like it that last sentence my thoughts exactly.
@golfthewlis lol idk you are but nice lol and thats still a ogod video too
Awesome clip! Amusing and informative.
Wow… you guy’s are idiots. Horrible…
i pied in my pans so amusing
awesome, and “it’s digital man” killed me LMFAO.
YO! This is a REALLY REALLY excellent thought. Exactly what I need for my music video! Thanks A lot!!
@KradProductions… Douche bag, really?
LOL! Your name should be KrapProductions. Let me translate, SHIT Producers.
Douche bag.
They didn’t give you a mention tho, the bastards.
They used the plank cam and said they found it online, but you’re video is more or less the only one.
@FilmCrab I had no thought! thanks for the tipoff!
Not sure if you know this but they talked about this video on the doohickey show today. You’ll get a few subs i’d say.
PWND. Fantastic thought with the plank!
It’s been in the Family tree tree since 1982!
Regardless if this is called Blairiot or Hughes or Red Baron or a flight simulator
or simply the plank cam this is very useful cheap tool. Can be enhanced with aiming fake gun.
With my friend we filmed Blairiotwitch on tree farm in 1986 by 8mm cam screwed on plank with broomstick. But problems comes frequently from the man on another end of plank, especially if he´s watching cam view show and surely with dogs and horses if flied over:-) No matter if filmed from head or from tail.
That film was made 9 years ago and both our tracking and greenscren methods have improved enormously since then. Oh, and go fuck yourself, by the way.
Your plank cam sucks and worse yet, your conservational screen skills SUCK even worse.
Yeah, Thanks Sam Raimi
wow excellent thought! thx i bet i could use this in many cool ways!!!
Nice small hint for a low budget trick that I bet is being used frequently, and a variety of horror movies have copied this, too… It may be a bit shaky, but I like it, since it’s so simple and effective. Thanks for the video, fantastic material.
Hey!!! thats my plank!!!
haha yall just place tape in that camera
