Weekend Extra: SnorriCam

yes... SNORRICAM is what it's called.. and YES it was done By EIDUR SNORRI and Einar Snorri partner.. but IT WAS EIDUR'S 'INVENTION'... but I guess when you have a partner in your BROS. they include the whole... BUT it was EIDUR .... THE MAN!

retarted..

I like dis

Snorricam was definitely not created by Aronofsky. It was made by Einar Snorri and Eiður Snorri in the 60s.

can you post the plans again, the link doesn't take you too them.

Could someone please reupload the build plans? The link seems to be dead :(

"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.

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!

Super Cool

super cool

woot! that was a fantastic tutorial! the only problem I think would be reaching the record button

i swear i thought that was doogie howser.

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

Moral of the Comment Dont replace Steve Nelson. The End.

Ew sick dont replace these fools with Steve! Steve Nelson is Fricken Bomb! ...In a world where everyone is Stevel Nelson....

I would like to see the same concept attatched to the knees for porn shots. ;)

Hah nice contraption. I imagine if it isnt built very secure, it would have a strong wobble.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea, already addressed that here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZuv-b2Lpds)

Sorry guys, do your homework first next time before stating who invented something : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SnorriCam Used way before Requiem...

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!

much appreciated, thanks

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.

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

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.

I built a tiny chest-cam from an old back-pack after I saw a similar camera angle in "Bound." I show it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgiINDYhyTY

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!

This is one of the best episodes yet. Show us more rigs! That was great!

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

Also wondered how to do this...

im gonna try to make one of these for my first movie which i intend to have be a war movie if possible

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.

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. :)

great tutorial! :D

Nice way to do the effect and cheap. Thanks guys.

god these guys suck, worst episode yet

awsome!! i'm i hope i can make one! =D

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

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!

Hey Guy's, Great Tutorial! Really Cool + Useful, Rico

this was probably one of of the most usefull weekend extras ever! great job.

Outstanding!

um. not to rain on your outdoor shindig but you can do the same thing with your tripod...........costs no money.......word

Wow! That was an awesome tutorial! I didn't know that type of camera angle even had a name!

little dissapoianting...:[ i had to waited through a week of middle school for THIS? a snorri cam? anyone could make one !

Great Job Guys! I will try to make one this weekend.

him i may do this but i may not

Sweet, i was always wondering how they got those views in movies!!!

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.

That wasn't really funny.

Made one in under an hour yesterday. Works great! Thanks d00dz.

this is ridiculously awesome, i cant wait to make this i love Aronofsky!
