Raging Midlife
Premieres - 3/13 at Cinema 21 in Portland

Some BTS I took while working as the 1st Assistant Camera / Focus Puller on Raging Midlife. I got to work alongside many wonderful people on this and am very thankful for them all. Big thank you to @ecmproject who trusted me with 1st AC duties and has continued to bring me onto his projects. Appreciate you so much.

Hey everyone!
Je lance cette bouteille à la mer car je commence à désespérer.

Je suis à la recherche d'un stage pour valider ma formation d'Opérateur de Prises de Vues que je viens de suivre à l'ESRA Paris. J'aspire à devenir Cheffe Opératrice pour la fiction et le clip et pour cela j'aimerais suivre des équipes images afin de développer mes compétences. Si vous connaissez des productions, des contacts dans des boîtes de locations (caméras ciné, optiques...) sur Paris je suis preneuse! Le stage devra débuter le plus rapidement possible et pour une durée maximum de 2 mois avant janvier.

Voilà, merci beaucoup! Le partage est très doux et moelleux. 🍰

You Need an Automated Overhead Camera Assistant

It's 2021. Everyone and their mother is filming themselves doing stuff, and a lot of it is super cool content. But since most of us have to also work the video capture devices ourselves, it can be difficult to make compelling footage with a single, stationary overhead view, especially when there are a lot of steps involved. A slider rig is a good start, but the ability to move the camera in three dimensions programmatically is really where it's at.

[KronBjorn]'s excellent automated overhead camera assistant runs on an Arduino Mega and is operated by typing commands in the serial monitor. It can pan ±20° from straight down and moves in three axes on NEMA-17 stepper motors. It moves really smoothly, which you can see in the videos after the break. The plastic-minimal design is interesting and reminds us a bit of an ophthalmoscope -- that's that main rig at the eye doctor. There's only one thing that would make this better, and that's a dedicated macro pad.

If you want to build your own, you're in luck -- there's quite a lot of detail to this project, including a complete BOM, all the STLs, code, and even assembly videos of the 3D-printed parts and the electronics. Slide past the break to check out a couple of brief demo videos.

Not enough room for a setup like this one? Try the pantograph version.
