first comment!
first comment tbh!
wops sorry, thats was twice....
I doono it was to fast of a tutrial and to annoying to listen to.
looks great but bit difficult lol, maybe i'l try it! O yer and too bad we cant email you lol
this is ridiculously awesome, i cant wait to make this i love Aronofsky!
Made one in under an hour yesterday.
Works great! Thanks d00dz.
That wasn't really funny.
Cody and Mark did an amazing job putting so much information into such a short time. This weekend I have to build a loft for my bed, but after that I want to build one of these snorri cams. AWESOME!!! Thank you guys so much.
Sweet, i was always wondering how they got those views in movies!!!
him i may do this but i may not
Great Job Guys! I will try to make one this weekend.
little dissapoianting...:[
i had to waited through a week of middle school for THIS?
a snorri cam?
anyone could make one !
Wow! That was an awesome tutorial! I didn't know that type of camera angle even had a name!
um. not to rain on your outdoor shindig but you can do the same thing with your tripod...........costs no money.......word
Post a vid then on how to use your tripod.
All talk, no action.
Outstanding!
this was probably one of of the most usefull weekend extras ever! great job.
Hey Guy's, Great Tutorial! Really Cool + Useful, Rico
dude, they should be regulars! are they replacing steve for weekend extra? i don't want steve gone but if he moves to backroof fx and these guys take over weekend extra i wouldn't mind at all!
this was good info, but as napalmjerry1391 stated, a tri-pod can do the same thing. You need a tall one, and perhaps a way to make sure that the camera follows a straight track, this way may also seem bumpy when watched. plus, with a tripod, you can use different camera angles with different cameras at once, there is nothing on the actor's body to make them look unusual
awsome!! i'm i hope i can make one! =D
god these guys suck, worst episode yet
Nice way to do the effect and cheap. Thanks guys.
great tutorial! :D
Dude, at first they looked like 2 twelve year olds but then I heard their voice and I was like woah....
Anyways, The echo in the "workshop" was really annoying. Either shoot in a small room, outside, or get an external mic. :)
i'm tempted to make one of those, but lower the camera and face it forward to have a body-mounted camera (i'm sure there's a proper name for that, i'm only a high schooler - don't hate)
but yeah it would be sick then you wouldnt have to worry about shaky camera from holding the camera, and you wouldnt have to constantly move your tripod.
im gonna try to make one of these for my first movie which i intend to have be a war movie if possible
Also wondered how to do this...
Ummm.... No Sir I don't like it
These 2 tried way 2 hard 2 B funny...
& they weren't sry
Poo Poo NAh NAh
This is one of the best episodes yet. Show us more rigs! That was great!
That was pretty sweet. I think I'll modify the plans a bit to make a smaller one for my XL-1. Good tutorial though guys, the only suggestion I'd have is try to be a bit clearer on the instructions maybe (even though I got them, they might have been hard to follow at first) and try using a different audio capturing method in the big workshop room (it was crazy echoey). Nice job though, great tip, thanks a lot!
I built a tiny chest-cam from an old back-pack after I saw a similar camera angle in "Bound." I show it here:

not only is that the same robe from fight club, it is also the robe worn by tv's fran drescher in "the nanny" and has cameoed on many other television shows. seriously, that specific robe is an inside joke in the film industry for wardrobe people.
Hey guys thanks for the comments. First thing to address: The echo. Very sorry about that, sound is usually one of the elements of production that I value most- the "workshop" was really in my garage, and outside, there were insects making extremely loud noise, so we figured it would be better to leave the garage doors closed and block out the bugs than the viewers having to endure that incredibly annoying sound. The echo was a price to pay, in some shots you can hear the bugs if you listen carefully. Also, we realize that you can easily accomplish the same ultimate goal with a tripod, however, we think that the actor shouldn't have to take on the role of cinematographer as well; by having your hands completely free, you no longer have to worry about getting the shot, its pretty much guaranteed to do what you want if you make it right, leaving the actor to do his/her job without worry. Sorry about any confusion that any of you may have, all I can do is withhold our offers to answer questions through email, or look at the design plans (http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5399095).
We are going to make a new tutorial soon, dealing with some cool blood effects among other things.
Thanks for watching!
Cody from VideoDays
No need for excuses dude, the video was awesome. This was really useful man. I for one couldn't care about the sound, you werent' making a movie so it's all good.
much appreciated, thanks
This is such a cool video! Building cool stuff like this is what Indy Mogul is all about, especially when you guys are stepping it up and teaching us too. Keep up the good work!
Sorry guys, do your homework first next time before stating who invented something :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SnorriCam
Used way before Requiem...
Yea, already addressed that here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZuv-b2Lpds)
i need someone to help me build a case for my camera so that while im in flordia visiting the grannie i can go inthe ocean and get some footie for a movie that im wanting to do HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hah nice contraption. I imagine if it isnt built very secure, it would have a strong wobble.
I would like to see the same concept attatched to the knees for porn shots. ;)
Ew sick dont replace these fools with Steve! Steve Nelson is Fricken Bomb! ...In a world where everyone is Stevel Nelson....
Moral of the Comment Dont replace Steve Nelson. The End.
hey like the show its cool as hell
i got a Q: Do you have thing for fake stabbing it will help me out a lot
talk to you all latter
i swear i thought that was doogie howser.
woot! that was a fantastic tutorial! the only problem I think would be reaching the record button
super cool
Super Cool
Nicely done guys! i like the snorricam effect, i've allways looked for a cam harness that wasnt too costly to my wallet, now i have one! thanks!
"A device created by Requiem for a Dream Director Darren Aronofsky"
Erm, guys... it's called a 'Snorri Cam' because it was inspired by Einar and Eidur Snorri (not related) and I'm pretty sure it was used in Scorsese's Mean Streets (1974) so I'd re-think this created by Darren Aronofsky statement.
Anyway, good effort with the tutorial but you should really just play your on screen personas 'straight'. It was kinda annoying to watch even though it was obviously helpful to a lot of people.
