  • amazing exactly what ive been looking for a cheap yet professional look.. how did u do it??

  • Not hard, really. A plastic blank CD (from the bottom of those stacks of CDRs you get), with some Mylar architectural drafting film cut and attached to it. It spins on a hobby motor powered by two AA batteries. I have this in a box, with a hole on one side where I attach my $200 video camera. The other side holds a mount for a 35mm SLR camera lens (Canon FD in my case). The image from the 35mm SLR camera lens focuses on the spinning CD and the camcorder films that resulting image.

  • i have the whole thing done and i just need the frosted cd. you mean that you can just glue mylar architectural paper to it? can you link me to one with the right specifications and eferything? do you put it on both sides of the cd or just one?

  • Wow -- Cool! You definitely only want the paper on one side. I know that when I got my drafting film, there was both 'dual ply' and 'single ply' -- the single ply is the ticket. Shiny on one side, diffuse on the other. Put the diffuse side out -- shiny side down on the cd.

  • what DOF adapter is this and what camera was used?? please help me!!! aaaaaah

  • Homemade adapter which actually suffers from several problems (notice the 'warbling' in the out-of-focus bottle up front). Camera was a plain-old Canon ZR200 ($200) MiniDV Camcorder. I'm starting in on a new adapter which should resolve the image issues seen here.
