The week before term ended, our group set to work on making a Snorricam - a camera that attaches to the body and creates this effect:
We also quite liked the panning shot of the man's body on the floor, and are thinking of using this for Sam when she's been knocked out by the alarm clock. With the aid of my little brother's skateboard and something flat to roll it on, this could be easily achieved.
We set to work making a cardboard and masking tape prototype (that sounds a lot better than it actually was) and did a few example videos (yet to be edited and put on this post).
THEN during the holidays Andrea's dad made us a brilliant proper one (of which i haven't seen yet, but I've seen proof it works so it must be brilliant) and here are the results:
Yaaaay!
We plan to use this shot for when Kate wakes up, which will show the transition from sleeping to waking or some such nonsense and will give us a few more marks!
Excellent blogging Charlotte - me too, am really excited with what you're going to come up with using the snorricam..
ReplyDeleteBe careful not to overdo it - don't use it for every shot etc...
