Build Your Own Steadicam

Posted by michael on from the also-useful-for-mugger-whacking dept.

John Jorsett writes "Always wanted to film one of those cool 'walking' sequences, where the camera stays rock-steady as you trudge along? Well, so did Johnny Chung Lee, except he didn't want to lay out major cash for a professional Steadicam rig, so he built his own for $14. He further claims you can do it in about 20 minutes if you know what you're doing. What more could a cheap, impatient Spielberg wannabe ask for?"

    All I know about Bush is I had a job when Clinton was president.
    And of course you know that it takes about 4 years to feel the effects of what a president does. So maybe now that clinton has been gone lone enough maybe even the likes of you could find a job again.

    Johnny's girlfriend looks kinda cute. I want to see the action sequences he shot in his studio.
