Cheap 10 Dollar Green Screen Setup…
February 25, 2011 in Video Effects
Just thought I would post a quickie on my cheap $10 green screen setup. I have a video on the Tubes of my setup. Watch below. Everything is PVC. Nice and cheap. The green screen cloth is from the Pinnacle Studio box set that I purchased a long time ago. You can probably pick one [...]
Update To Zoom H1…
February 8, 2011 in Digital Audio Recording
So I found a small hand held device that holds your camera and two hot shoe devices. I decided that I wanted to buy it and remove one of the hot shoes on the top so I could add my Zoom H1 audio recorder to the rig. I will need to drill a small hole [...]

February 7, 2011 in Video Effects, Video Production
I built a green screen backdrop holder that attaches to the ceiling and holds my green screen snugly. I made it out of 1/2 inch PVC and some PVC fittings. Total cost was under $10. See the video below for more information and a quick look at the rig.
Just Purchased A Zoom H1…
January 30, 2011 in Digital Audio Recording, Electronics
I just purchased a Zoom H1 audio recorder from Best Buy. The H1 seemed to be the most inexpensive audio recorder that had stereo recording and a line input for recording as well. So far it seems like a quality microphone/recorder. I have purchased this for recording audio while making videos for YouTube. The audio [...]
The Cheap Camera Hand Grip…
August 12, 2010 in Video Production, Video Production Hardware
I use this with my new video camera to help with stability and pain relief. I purchased a new Sony HD camera some time ago. This thing is so small it is actually hard to hold and gives me pain in my wrist. I decided to create yet another camera helper. This thing was super [...]

Hello all. Its been a while since my last posting. My family was in town and its been crazy. So…Just a few days ago my Fiance came to me with an idea. She said she wanted to come up with a game. Some sort of 3D game. She wanted something that was similar to one [...]
Cheap Car Camera Mount…
September 15, 2009 in Car Technology, Video Production, Video Production Hardware
This is a cheap camera mount for the inside of my car. I made it from some spare items I had laying around the house. I used an aluminum corner channel “L” shaped bar with u-bolts with 1/4″ threads and some washers and wing nuts and hex nuts. I also used some pieces of a [...]
Just finished a great book on YouTube!
September 7, 2009 in Internet, Video Production, YouTube
I picked up a book called YouTube: An Insider’s Guide To Climbing The Charts by Alan Lastufka & Michael W. Dean. I read it from cover to cover. I haven’t read a book from cover to cover since college where they forced you to do it. I am not much of a reader unless it [...]

August 31, 2009 in Video Production, Video Production Hardware
Here is a video of me testing my Poor Man’s SteadyCam that I made from PVC and some other cheap parts. The video goes in a sequence of Before and After shots. I have also included some shots in 60 Frames Per Second. My camera can shoot 30fps or 60fps. I noticed that the quality [...]
Video Project – $20 Steady Cam Update
August 31, 2009 in Do It Yourself, Video Production, Video Production Hardware
So I captured a video with the version 1 steady cam. The video came out to be pretty “not steady”. I decided to add some PVC pipe to the bottom section to even it out. Now it shoots better video. I need to wait till daylight to shoot a video with it. I also need [...]
Video Project – $20 Steady Cam from PVC Pipes
August 31, 2009 in Do It Yourself, Video Production, Video Production Hardware
I decided to make a cheap steady cam to use with my new Kodak Zi6 video camera. I made it from PVC instead of metal. The PVC is lightweight and for my use, it is strong enough. Plus I don’t have to kill a drill bit in order to make the holes needed for mounting [...]
A video device I made for recording myself
August 31, 2009 in Do It Yourself, Video Production, Video Production Hardware
The Video Camera Extend-A-Pod is a cheap camera mount that you hold in your hand. It positions your video camera away from you for a wider shot of yourself without straining your arm. The device was made from cheap PVC and conduit parts found at my local hardware store. I paid about $4 for everything. [...]
