I was talking to Jason today who found a good subject to include here on Flop Film. He was reading about how they made Evil Dead and how inexpensively they did all the different effects and shot video. One thing of interest to horror film makers or anyone wanting to make a better video is the use of the Steady Cam or what they called the Dead Cam in Evil Dead. You can order off of Amazon a wonderful steady cam and they have many to choose from. BUT, If you are like me and want to or need to be as cheap as possible we have found several ways to make your own DIY Steady Cam. First and foremost is “Johnny SteadyCam” and his amazing $14 Steady Cam. But since this is a website devoted to making your own videos I set out looking at Youtube to see if anyone published a video about making this steady cam. Well there were quite a few See Videos after clicking in to read.
