Ringo's Cinematographic Drawing Board

As I was flying back from Japan last night, I was thinking what would happen if you combined a record player, a tripod, a toy car, a video camera, and a dash of scotch. (These are the things I think about on a regular basis). Today I tried it. Check out the short pilot episode below.




I’m considering employing this type of camera work in my next music video, so let me know what you think of it. Hold on though. I can’t have all 10,000 of you loyal readers posting individually and overloading the server like that incident in 2002. Instead, maybe you can attend a caucus to coordinate your opinions and then choose a leader to voice your ward’s opinion. Isn’t that how things work in Iowa for the primary election? Elections confuse me.

Cool, I like the rotating camera. It looks a bit unstable though, like you have to keep touching it so it doesn't fall off balance (yes?).

Perhaps you could make a real simple rotating platform for you camera using a lego mindstorm kit or phidgets...

Happy recording!

Funny because I just had a similar brainstorm, but I attached a lazer to my record player so that Sharkie would chase it around the dinning room. It was even better. So, if we could only combine our machines...
