Built an epic rig for my gf

[u/mollan1910]

My girlfriend was assigned to do some simple interviews at an event her company hosted. It was for their social media and needed to be recorded on their company phone.

She asked me for advise since it was gonna be quite dark in the venue.

''Say no more'' I said and went into my shed with the phone.

''WTF is that!?'' she yelled when I presented the Event Phone Rig 2000 ^{(Patent pending})

''It's as Nolan intended it to be'' I replied, taking a puff from my tobacco pipe before retreating into the shadows.

With a battery that size she should be able to film for 3 and a half weeks continuously

From my experience events, weddings and stuff can go overtime.  Event Phone Rig 2000 ^{(Patent pending}) makes sure she's equipped for it

No Matte Box? Not worth

[u/mollan1910 → u/Euphoric-Animator-97]

They didn't have the budget for the Event Phone Rig 3000 ^{(Patent pending})
2000 = No matte Box (for beginners)
3000 = Matte Box (for professionals with big invoices)

Is there a Even phone Rig x000 (Paten pending) with patented microhone functionality?

[u/mollan1910 → u/Jurgen121212]

Currently developing Event Phone Rig 4000 (Patent Pending) with an attached mic boom. On the boom there's another attached boom. Waiting for the patent to be pending tho

[u/Jurgen121212 → u/mollan1910]

Im not quite convinced... Only 2 soon to be patented mics? Please make a patended boom mic on patended boom mic on patended boom mic!

I knew this was the place to get the recognition this deserves.

Is that a bicycle handlebar?

A magician never reveals his secrets.

[u/Obvious_Brush5165 → u/mollan1910]

So yes?

[u/BlancopPop]

Plug the light into the battery and you’re good to go

[u/mollan1910 → u/BlancopPop]

You're hired!

[u/voltaicass]

She ain’t gonna have time to film anything with all the guys asking her about that rig, brother.

[u/mollan1910 → u/voltaicass]

Damn, this rig is the end to our relationship..

This build needs to be published in American Cinematographer

Back in the day, Camera's had to be huge to fit the entire system. Nowadays Camera's are tiny and people make them huge because "Rig"

[u/mollan1910 → u/ZookeepergameDue2160]

What are you talking about? Everyone knows the bigger the rig, the better it performs and the more professional the one holding the big rig is.

[u/ZookeepergameDue2160 → u/mollan1910]

Well, In that case:

[u/PrairiePilot → u/ZookeepergameDue2160]

That’s an arm off a Gundam.

Next design I think you need to have an easy rig for it.
