Homemade Camera Rig

For work recently, the copywriter and I went to Woodrow Pilling Park in Norwich to test out a "Geyser Car" - a rocket car, which is powered by the Mentos + Diet Coke reaction. You strap a fizzy pop bottle to the car, and pull the plug to release the Mentos, and step back and admire!

After a few successful launches, my mind turned to creating some different shots, in particular, so "in-car" pieces. As you can see from the below, the product lent itself perfectly to turn into a cheap camera rig. The velcro straps kept the camera in position, and a cautious push, got some extra, different shots for the final video, which I've also included in this post.

Lion Wood, Norwich

While spending a lazy day on the sofa watching the "Super Sunday" games this weekend, during half time, I thought I'd get up and stretch my legs. So took a quick stroll to Lion Wood at the top of my road.

I did have it in the back of my mind to try something like this out at the beginning of the day, so planned to go out just as the sun started to set. We get lovely sunsets this time of the year, so that, with shooting through tress gave me some cool effects.

I'd like to think after looking back over these that getting off of the couch is a smart move sometimes...
