Cardboard Props: How to make a Movie Camera

So this is my last Prop I'ble of the 2011 Chester Gangshow... In one scene they needed a modern looking movie camera.... For about three weeks I stared at the words on my props list in disbelief... NOW, I have seen Cameras... I have even used them... but I didn't have the foggiest idea on how to construct one out of a few sheets of card... But, well I *think* I FINALLY succeeded.

If you like it, rate it, and if you make it, show me :D

Step 1 Ingredients

As for ingredients this one is an easy one.

• Cardboard ( I used a thin box because i'm lazy)
• Glue gun
• Grey Fur
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Marker Pen
• Craft Knife
• Cardboard tube
• Plastic tub
• Black paint
• Black Duct tape

Nice 'ible! Looks real! I was always very fascinated in movie-making, perhaps I'll make one myself when I can save up a stock of cardboard!

I also made an I'ble for a boom microphone it's in my feed

Just go to a supermarket, or local store and ask them for some cardboard boxes... They're always happy to give it away as they hae to pay for garbage removal/recycling.

Really? Sweet, I'll ask my local Pick N Save.

No problem, if you ever make one, be sure to send me a picture

Thats great!
Though, i'll never do it, as i got an actual old VHS Camcorder for free :) Since i cant think of anything to do with it, it will probably survive intact, or at least the outside.

Cool!  I made the handheld and stationary one on rolling tripod for my kid's school play a few years back.  Cardboard and takeaway containers.
