Comment on Salvation Mountain – Short Documentary by Justin Metz

Thanks. I did interview him shortly, but decided to leave it out in the end. What question and answer type stuff I did do with him was nothing new or special (he’s no secret really, google his name or “salvation mountain” and there are plenty of TV/Film/Doc interviews with him), not to mention all I had was the shitty built-in mic, so In the end I decided to take it in a different direction and go for a purely musical/visual approach (what can I say, I’m a fan of Koyaanisqatsi, Baraka, etc. type documentaries).

Yup, makeshift steadicams are a lot easier than people realize. It’s all about getting that properly balanced counterweight, and things like extended tripod legs can be enough to do it sometimes (naturally that changes for larger format/professional cameras, but for the DSLR shooters the world is their makeshift oyster!).

i actually took a tripod and pulled the pin out of one leg. then modded the hinge a bit so itll swing smoother. then i just mount my camera and pull a leg out to balance it and it becomes a steadycam. and its got alott of control on it too. i myself dont really enjoy shoulder mounts

Ha! I volunteered myself probono actually (just struck up a random conversation with one of the reddit admins, hueypriest). They did send me a care package with a bunch of free swag though, so I can’t complain.

Anyway, nope, no shoulder rig per say. I bought a higher end model stills tripod with extendable legs and used that as a quasi shoulder rig. I added foam padding to one leg and rested it on my shoulder, then the two free legs become handles of sorts, or I’d rest them against my body for additional points of contact freeing up my hands for focus and what not (no follow focus, rails, or any other attachements either).

By the way, were you involved with that Star Wreck parody movie? Good stuff!

I take it you have some kind of shoulder rig (looked too smooth for just handheld) any recommendations? By the way did reddit pay you for those graphics? Colour me impressed if so considering how frequently they complain of funding, being understaffed, site down time and the like.

Hey jared5000! Why yes… yes I do plan on making a tutorial for that video (and others). If you haven’t already, subscribe or friend me on youtube and you’ll see it as soon as I post it. And yes, you are the ‘first’ to comment (at least on this new version of the website), and that’s an honor that no one can ever take away from you. Congrats! ;)
