chasejarvisTECH: How To Build a Pro Cine-Boom on a Shoestring [literally]

In my last chasejarvisTECH piece you got a peek at the gear I packed away for the 19,000 foot climb up Kilimanjaro for the Summit on the Summit. There were more than a few comments on how much “stuff” went with me. It’s all relative I suppose, but when you get down to it that was a fairly bare-bone operation for a job that still yielded high-end results.

As you see in this next installment, we had to make do without some of the other gear that we would have loved to have had along the way but left out for obvious reasons. I’m talking about cranes, jibs, dollies and the like. So sometimes you have to get creative.

My man Chris did just that, by lashing some cordelette climbing rope to a tripod to create a makeshift cinema boom. As the footage at the end proves, you can’t tell the difference.

Here’s what went into this fine piece of jury-rigging:

_Manfrotto Support
_Canon 5D Mark III
_Cordelette [Find it at most outdoor gear stores or online — often listed under “Accessory cords.”]

If you’re swinging that camera out over an edge (like Chris does), make sure you’re on solid footing and keep a tight grip on that cordelette.

And that’s it. Super-cheap, super-effective boom solution done at altitude.

    Royalties from publishing a book, licensing a patent, or
    some other form of intellectual property, are other good business opportunities to earn passive income
    from. You may lose some weight, but you will gain it again.
    Don’t be fooled by the promises that you can start making
    money in fifteen minutes, or that you don’t need to do anything
    to start making money. DISH Network may be upset with WWE here, but the company has no logical
    reasoning behind this move because WWE owns the content.

    The primary purpose of article marketing is
    to help you you drive site visitors to your internet site, so if you publish content
    that happen to be depending on minimal aggressive keywords and phrases, it turns into much easier for you personally to rank increased in the
    search engines. Before buying, a customer may visit his site from more than one network-affiliate site within the cookie period.
    ‘Ground Truth’ and the Importance of Market Research.

    Devices on the network will act as peers ‘ no computer will rely on another computer to be present on the network ‘
    in order to reach the Internet, but it won’t be an ad-hoc network.

    On top of that to this, compensate-for every-just click
    applications, such as Search engines Ad – Sense also enable people to crank
    out revenue while advertising or marketing goods. It’s important to realize that there are really four separate and distinct
    holidays, all packed into a 63-day period, that the typical gym owner should
    use to increase sales: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and of course New Years.

    But if they are not in critical condition, and theur disease progress is slow, right att the beginning of their journey, then using the least
    invasive means first will be much more effective than
    cutting off their arm because they have a

    always verify the sources use by a write-up. In each of these

    for better results from a financial, patient care oor procedural
    perspective.

    Away from all of the early pontiac a-bodies, I have always liked the 64 one of the most. Guess it truly is simply because it is the only 12 months with side by side headlights. Pretty nice, when you just want to place a body around it, then mount it on your wall.
