$20 DIY DSLR Shoulder Rig

[shadowheart43]

how do you focus with that tho???

[minifilmsmafia]

hey ryan where can i find that song of your testshots? ps love your show

[MusicalAnSophie]

if you don't have a heat gun, you can just use pvc shoulder joints :o

[DarkSpiritX521]

can i use a hair dyer instead of those heat gun thing they used to bend the pipes?

[GripProd]

@DarkSpiritX521

In hair dyer temperature is too low for bending the pipe.. but you can use fire, if you do it correctly and accurate, it will be the same result

[monkeyvfx]

also get a camera stabilizer program if you are using a home made shoulder rig ;)

[1997ibron]

Hello FILMRIOT.

Its very cool but whats the TEST SHOOT's song name ?

Buzás Norbert from Europe, Hungary, Budapest.

Thanks

[corpuskiid]

does any body know what camera they use? :(

[DV7Dave]

@corpuskiid I'm almost certain thats a Cannon 5D Mk II

[corpuskiid]

@DV7Dave k good i bought one but whats the best lens to use for a good shallow depth in field?

[DV7Dave]

@corpuskiid No idea sorry. My knowledge of lenses is very limited.

[ZADstudios]

thumbs up if you feel like they should use the test footage song to film a fat kid walking!

[eXtremeArtsStudio]

only this is going to make my movies better... love the other (both sholders) rig too, will try to make both. thanks a lot...

[NixHap]

My tip: Watch IKEA shoulder rig!

[smartguy1640]

sombody plz tell what lense he's using

[VRAssociation]

Dear FilmRiot,

Could you guys maybe make a playlist with all your DIY tutorials. Not just because I am lazy but I might miss one or two. Much appreciated!

Thumbs up so Ryan can see!!

[wonderwall135]

hey filmriot can i hire you guys to make this for me? i'd probably end up hurting myself

[barax911]

ok with this dual shoulder mount we cant focus or zoom ?? !!!!!! am i right ???

[MrTechyNerdiness]

@barax911 Same with a professional Fig Rig though.

[heitogsaftig]

TEST SHOT MUSIC! PLEASE!

[dangerdown]

Looks like a Pentax to me...

[GodWarsKills]

4:00 lmfao blow drier on crack

[CussinSailor36]

Good DIY project, but I have to say if you were shooting on this rig for very long, you sure would get a serious crick in your neck.

[choopy15]

lol "a real pain in the balls" >_<

[trusk8er8189]

Hey I'm not a vfx person I'm more of a skate edit and videos like that if you could check out my channel it would be very helpful

[FizBii]

This is a bit of a noob question but what was that thing that you put the quick release plate into and around how much could I pick one up for?

[RaimoneTV]

Dope video

[Robdog2goStudios]

What is the music that he uses during the test shots? If anyone could leave a name or link, that would be much appreciated! Love the show! :)

[JPettsProductions]

Why you use teh Nikons now :( ?!?

[131rocketman]

what kind of camera is that?

[JPettsProductions]

@131rocketman Looks like a ... Nikon?!??

[131rocketman]

@JPettsProductions oh really? because with my graduate degree i couldnt read the five letter word for myself. dont waste my time with such an ignorant reply man. that is like saying he drives a ford. what kind of ford? mustang, focus, escape, f-150 and so on. what kind of nikon? if you dont know, then get off me

[JPettsProductions]

@131rocketman um not, you really didnt get what i ment, it was ment to be like "looks at camera name" then im like what is that a Nikon ??!!? like wow he usually uses canon, and you dont need to get all aggressive maby you didnt notice it, i was just trying to be helping and it is probs a Nikon D7000 as that is one of the more pro nikons, sorry if i confused u, not angry now ? :)

[131rocketman]

@JPettsProductions well you assume i watch the show enough to know that he usually uses a canon. but i dont because i am new to this channel. see that would have wasted alot less time by just saying a nikon d7000. thanks anyway

[EnviroAda]

is it possible to use those corner pvc joints to replace the bending from the heat gun?

[131rocketman]

@EnviroAda probably so. but that means more pieces to buy which means more money. granted it would not cost alot of money. but when you buy pvc pipes, like he had, you usually have to get it at like.. 10 foot sections so its probably cheaper just to bend it

[Abluetee2]

what is that song during the test footage! it is sweeeeeeetttttt.



[iwhyrhomes]

is someone playing the drums in the back ground

[sgtbaxter05]

Is it possible you could make me one and I can buy it from u?Please respond

[Natervader13]

where do you get one of those camera holder thingies? Lol sorry don't know the name of the piece.

[wonderwall135]

wtf i was thinking why filmriot wasn't showing up in my sub feed, but i was somehow unsubscribed? fucking youtube unsubscribed me.

[TheShammyy]

@wonderwall135 ikr, the same thing keeps happening to me too! I have to keep re-subscribing to filmriot and film state!

[no1uno5]

Was anyone else just watching the new shoulder rig video?

[magicmabmo]

my ad just told me how to wear stripes......

[SaulOrosJr]

but will it blend?

[MichaelSullivanHD]

@SaulOrosJr shut up..

[Blend424]

It still feels hard to make it..I dont have a fucking heatgun but still thanx :D

[CmdrWard]

For an alternative to the heat gun and some clarifications, as well as a written list of the supplies, check out the latest video on my channel

[k11yle]

what quick release plate are u guys using?

[Letrindle]

Check out my channel for TRON and INCEPTION VFX

[MortenBN1988]

So... What about that weird angle you get, do to your shoulders angle? :-P

[MrEdryl]

Thanks it helps alot because we are going to make a video for school

[HDTanel]

Thanks Ryan! Ive done a DIY glidecam thingy before, wasnt that great because of the weight :P but Ill try this one too :)

[1968rvp]

haha you had the drill setting on concrete,not drilling LOL nice rig though,champion!!

[CmdrWard]

Check out the latest video on my channel. I explain some of the things that Ryan didn't expand on and show an alternative to the heat gun. Plus, I put the list of supplies in the info box.

[DominicsStudios]

How did you create the background you use when chroma keying for this show?

[galiusorbille]

@filmriot Hey Ryan, which lenss is that? I know it's not the theme of the episode, but I had to ask...

[clapboardfilmstudio]

It is perfect, I am going to create such. Currently I am building a dolly using a plastic tubes.

[tasteslikeginger]

you promised sexy! D:

[skinVISIBLE]

@DanceFromJP Don't do that! THat's film riot's revenue!

[PBJStudios1]

dude i love ur videos and tutorials i hope someday i can make em as good as you!!!!

[mccloskinator]

what type of dslr lens do you use?

[Ezell2film]

Please put the list in the description box!!!!! Makes it easier for us lol

[djbeto267]

Awesome! I think I'll make this.

[Noahskey]

Oh yeah, Also for those who don't have a quick release plate of no money to buy one. a 20thread screw is universal for any camera so, just go buy a screw that's long enough to fit your camera.

[Lewis3947]

I just finished building this rig, its awesome!

[Noahskey]

Guys, when i made mine we didn't use a hot-airgun, simply get some 90's and you should need about 6 of them and do everything else he said. You might save some money by doing this.

[Apatheh]

@Noahskey yea 90s would work and look a lot better too.

[TehGuitec]

oooooh thank you so much. :)

[Webcast01]

Can you just glue the quick release plate?

[rockfak30]

Which is better? A shoulder rig or a fig rig?

[daleywhaley89]

The production quality of this episode seemed more amazing than your already high standard!

[Bornandbledfilms]

Great show as always guys

[ribenaholic]

AWESOME!!

[ThunderCloudFilm]

Hey Film Riot!

We are making an action movie and we want to have suspense in it. Do you have any ideas for building up suspense for a movie. Thanks

- ThunderCloud Films

[Eniyi04]

Very very impressive, a shame there is no stabilization for this setup. Still impressed, man.

[tombproduct]

One and one more thing,like one of the comments bellow me I would like to see how to make a quality intro like your new one and your old one. that would really help

[tombproduct]

Hey FILM RIOT, I saw the movie The Rocketeer and loved it, but i really want to know how they did the flying around everywhere and going places so well. I know you have that other video when you guys are kicking people and flying but that doesn't seem to cover what I'm looking for. I kind of have an idea of how i could do it with a green screen but i would like to see it done by the professionals. Please i would love to see this effect carried out, Please!

-Connor

[tombproduct]

Thank you so much film riot! I have one question that may have been asked many times but i have not heard an answer: What ever happened to the old cast and crew of film riot and why did they have to leave?. We all miss them!

[MrThebasketballfreak]

DID ANYONE ACTUALLY MAKE THIS?

[iTMRx]

really creative

[KieransPlayTime]

dear ryan (and others), i was wondering if you could show us how to make a quality intro. i know it doesn't have much to do with filming but i would appreciate it. thanks, kieran

[ogiugi96]

You could at least turn around that cushy thingy, so it would not be ugly cushy thingy. Now you can see where the cuts are. Really clever Ryan, really clever...

[BenediktEinarssonTM]

You could put a weight to on the back, for more steady shot's!

[GabrieliusRiauba]

Ryan, can you make a tutorial how you edit your vids, the system?

[AgentNumberQ]

Thank you so much for this video!

[bleedingdeadlyinc]

Awesome stuff! to the hardware store I go tomorrow

[runegecko]

When he shows the nuts and bolts at 1:50 , his hands are backwards. Lol.

[97North]

I like the shoulder mount and all...but where do I get that boss Batman t-shirt?

[SvedishProductions]

i like how it starts out all bright and sunny outside at the beginning of the build and ends middle of the night.

[thegreentrousers]

lmao blow drier on crack

[Krikypr]

y r u talking so fast?if you slow it down it would be so much better

[JosenJackson]

Hey can somebody please write me what is needed to build this shoulder rig ( i'm not that good in english so it would be very nice!) great video btw :)

[TheUrbanDisturbance]

Film riot is awesome. me and my friend made a vfx video and we could always use some more views, and we would really appreciate it if u could check our our channel.

[FilmFlame]

Awesome Ryan btw do some more films really enjoy them!

[edwinchomusic]

Thanks so much for this video!

[henkdeveroveraar]

could do a show on how to get little people in your movie like jed and octavius from night at the museum?

[JiminyStudio]

hmmm i could actually make that, could be useful and also looks cool :)

[FilghiProductions]

@JiminyStudio the output matters not the way it looks.

[JiminyStudio]

@FilghiProductions oookkey....

[FilghiProductions]

@JiminyStudio dokey

[bjoernzanza]

Hey Ryan, can you tell me what song you used while filmeing Josh for the test shot ?

Thank you :)

[PokeWorks]

Dear Ryan. I want to buy a new camera soon. Any tips or suggestions?

Greetings, Sam

[Exigo6677]

thats f***'n cool baby(w/ mother)!!!

.,

[Zinammo]

Blow dryer on crack. :D:D:D:D 3:59

[YGOmaster66]

Did he say a leatus shoulder rig?

[rdoetjes]

Why not use pipe sections, T-pieces and 90 degree PVC bends. That killes the pain of heat bending. You can also try it all out for feel and then glue those together. Have some extra T-joints on strategic places to put on repositionalable handgrips.

[alecbfilm]

DIY BUILD OF THE BLOW DRYER ON CRACK

[mchollandred]

Nice build Ryan! It would be sick if you could slide the pipe out to make it longer/shorter!

[closeupboard562]

Hey Filmriot, i need a new memory card for my t2i any suggestions???

[spazzmwho]

Hey Ryan, can you show us how to make a fake cigarette and smoke it with out really smoking?

[rbkhockey83]

@spazzmwho he says effects done during the movie are better then doing it in editing.. like a bullet effect in water he throws stones in the water. Just grow a pair and use a real cigarette.. you don't have to inhale it

[bunniescreed619]

@spazzmwho They actually make those. I would recommend checking like "Novelty Stores" or "Magic Shops"

[DJRockstarbaby]

Follow @ AOSTrey on twitter

[kbtrumpeteer]

You guys should do something like auctioning off some of your props and DIY things! The money could go partially towards you guys and partially towards a charity or something! I just randomly thought of this idea while watching this video!

Thumbs up so they can see!

[TheBuzz10125]

Wow, this was released only yesterday and it already has basically the same amount of views as the Monday episode. DIY ROCKS!

[paradoxdesigns]

always great to see the DIY stuff.

[blackninjamonkey1]

You guys can never just get a used-wrapping paper roll and an empty box of chocolates or something haha ;)

[PvSkateable]

Which lens are you using in the camera mounted in the shoulder rig?

[LucasProductions1001]

I Can't Understand What Your Screws Are

[SummitTraxxas]

Thumbs up if you didn't skip the add! 

[AmitaiArts]

Make a red cam for under $30!

[therightpremiums]

@AmitaiArts Can't find a tutorial on it.. :P

[LotsaCreations]

Make a fig rig under 20$

[EdEditz]

I can never understand why people need tutorials to build these things. If you can't figure this out by yourselfs you shouldn't be allowed near a camera in the first place!

[TheUrbanDisturbance]

i wouldn't do this if i were to waste your time, please check out our new video , we worked REALLY hard on the vfx and we could always use a couple more viewers. thank you.

[skip424]

@HudsonRyde Thank you! :) which do you much most prefer to buy? on B&H or at Amazon? i wanna get probably two. really handy.

[CarlsonBen]

Hey, thanks for the great idea, should be useful to get some steady shots. I know you're busy but if you can spare 10 seconds (that's literally the entire length) please take a look at the featured video on my profile page. I'm trying to perfect my showreel before sending it out to VFX companies and this was a clip I planned to use. Thanks!

[SafariXable]

Ich verstehe nichts davon- i undstand only railstation

[TeddyGator247]

THANK YOOOUUU!!!!

[TheRunawayFilms]

Is that the sigma 24mm 1.8?

[elpxpx]

Josh has shiny pants.

[silentcovenant]

Could we get the link to that quick release plate you got? Looking around ebay, not seeing the one you have. Thanks!

[AmitaiArts]

@silentcovenant /itm/DSLR-Black-Camera-Lens-Tr­ipod-Shutter-Quick-Release-Cla­mp-Plate-Adapter-Set-/40026551­3448?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&has­h=item5d31af09e8

[DutchieNotDutch]

@silentcovenant I believe he used the Giottos MH621 (I based this off a quick close up that can be seen around 4:40)

[tieyourwheels]

Hey Ry, PVC Cutters at Hardware stores are like 5 bucks and work so freaking amazing. I use them on most of my DIY builds. You should invest in some bud! Hacksaws are from the caveman era :p Great Build thought and Imma hop on it!

[roystreetmedia]

nikon d7000?



[nny5342]

Never thought of warping instead of cutting! I just made one to hold my steady cam rig I made for my iPod! It's so light it's like I'm holding nothing!

[lynchy8888]

"Once again returning to the blow dryer on crack" LMAO!

[NEWBREEDFILMS]

great build!!!

[stealursoul231]

You guys live in Florida right?

[SScomedian]

im so building this thx guys

[tonelessbod]

is it always sunny were you live



[caguko]

Ryan Film maker and handy man.

[Project8ers]

Love it but if this is a little too complicated check this video out. Or if you may not have some of the tools this is my free running instructor he made this shoulder cam mount and it works great! Vimeo. c o m / 2 0 9 1 0 6 4 8 (get rid of spaces)

[ToxicFlavouredCandy]

I'm making a short film and wanted to know how to best make eyes all black. Like in the show Supernatural with their Demons.

[ToxicFlavouredCandy]

Hey Ry, What would be the best way to go about mimicking the effects used in Another Earth, you know the awesome Earth 2 and accompanying moon.

[guitarguy1751]

blow dryer on crack? haha

[JotaLegendOfficial]

Hey Ryan, can you make an episode talking about Magic Lantern, the custom firmware for certain Canon cameras?

[SuperMrONeill]

I HAVE THAT SAME BATMAN SHIRT! :D

[wilmacandfriends]

Pool: All purpose heat removal tool.

[DayVidsFilms]

Was that a d7000? Ryan you dog

[Sephitron]

@TierFilms that did sound like it ha.

[imthecamraguy]

Pretty good but I think the one I made is much better because it goes off both shoulders having the camera in the middle

[kaewkaew]

nice mustache ryan

[EvansShades]

So, let's say we were going to buy our own professionally made shoulder mount, which one/ company would be the best?

[CrazyClownGuy]

I wish i was ryan and everthing was that fast for me.
