How to make a Cable-Cam for Cheap Build

you should show how to build a bazooka because that would be like the best thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I want to make one for my Canon XL2, I should make it from stronger wood or from metal, right?

But... where can I see that movie?

will this build work with a hand held video camera?

Also if you were to spend a bit more on cable rather than clothesline it would be more resistant to breaking AND if you get the plastic coated stuff, friction.

I used the song while he's building the mount for a tutorial piece I did on stop motion on youtube

u should have used a dog runner u 50ft of coated wiring 4 15 bucs at waly world

I think you should do an episode on how you made your sudio ERick and tell Gary nice close

Steadicam please. (yes I know there's plenty of DIY instructions out there, but I still would enjoy seeing how you guys would construct it. Also the, sure to be, BAD ASS test film)

What do you have for color correction in the "Test Film"? which color correction program?

This will probably never be read, but I have to ask. Who is t he music director for this series/episode? When did you stop using the super time lapse theme for actual super time lapse scene? Ugh that's typorific, bear with it. Lastly, what is that song during super time lapse?

can you make a costume that makes you look like 50 years older then you really are thanks

If i get 10 replies under here agreeing with me that they should show us how to make a spiderman costume, then they will....PLEASE PLEASE!

Hi- If you can do this i want to know how to make a explosion without any cam tricks or green screen or anything. I need it to be cheap because I am only 9 years old. Please do it. -Kai

for one of your future showa i wanted to know if you could make a killer snowman

But not the lasers. The actual sub-machine gun. Yeahh

I said this once, and I'll say it again. In the very beginning and at the very end when your explaining the tips, behind you are guns, and I have never ever seen you have an episode telling how to make those. I thought it would be so cool if you could tell how to make the guns. I've been seeing them in a lot of episodes. So please please! (make an episode about them) Anyways, brilliant idea Erik. For the camera, it gave a perfect pro effect. Good Job! -MiTAsFo

coool cud u make the hidden blade from assassins creed

what was that thing on the camera at the end of the episode !?

it seems a little complex but i realy like it. i will make a one wire version and send in a vid!!!

That system looks real practical. Ofcourse you're right, regardless of the effect, it's the head of the effect's maker that matters the most.

BTW If my cam breaks to this rig I'll sue you all in England!

use rappel rope next time

as much as i like the gore, its cool to have an original BFX. Feels like the first season.(Can't wait to get started on my own cable-cam!)

Regular good old BFX is still the best. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure I could use this inside.

awesome, and hi Steve one last time. i liek how used the disclamer so liberaly, lol. gotta love democracy, the landwhere u can sue someone for being to noisy if u wanted to.

I'm pretty sure I could use this inside.

yay, steve!

nice stop motion bits inbetween! looks cool, me like! the cablesystem is pretty cool too. :)

cool build, but the dolly was better. Portalgun:D best game ever:D

steve nelson!

Excellent! Looks like something that would be VERY useful shooting in the woods vs a steadicam!

This looks rad! Great work Erik and co.

we need to get you on Digg this Xmas
