We Made a Snorri Cam!

We’re shooting a short film of this year’s Fangoria show, and we thought we’d have a bash at building a Snorri Cam rig from bits we have lying about. We slug a tool belt on the Boob, whacked a couple of legs from a tripod in the pockets, tied a length of webbing around his back to each leg, screwed a camera on the top with a wide angle lens… and that was it, it works and everything.

ok, “what’s a Snorri Cam?”, well it’s when you rig a camera to the actors body so it appears to float in front of them, pointing back at the actor. Some say it was invented by Icelandic photographers/film makers, the Snorri Brothers (you see what they did there with the name?). It was used a lot in Requiem for a Dream which is of course an awesome film.

Here’s some more shorts of our rig in action. Stay tuned for the final film.

Another year, another blog, another waste of time

Hi kids. Yeah, we started a new blog to fill with any old crap we feel like. Kind of a traditional “weblog” if you like. Yeah, you know how that works. Anyway, here’s some shit i guess;

We’ve started planing the construction of Fangoria 2007. As ever, we’ve given ourselves an idea, but not worked out how the fudge to do it. To the right there you can see Al planing a complex set piece using industrial standard stage building blocks… a burger menu. Also, we got a new lens, it’s totally sweet low f-stop prime thingy. G hates it, but I loves it. More demo pics here.

Happy New Year you fools x.

Have a Nice Day & These Fair Isles

 

A friend commissioned us to produce 2 collections of photography for his stock library. ‘Have a Nice Day’ depicts Americana as seen around California and Nevada. ‘These Fair Isles’ are shots from around England, mainly at sea side towns with the odd power station thrown in for good measure.
