Nice... I was just getting ready to do some figure shooting for my blog's mascot, so I guess I'll take part on this contest... just for fun, not doing anything overtly ellaborate.
How can you tell anyone who loves BTTF to not buy one of those hats? If the seller was a pain in the ass, or the hats are cheap crap that disintegrate on your head, I can understand, but if not, you're not the boss of me!!
No joke, I'm a video editor and that hat is actually on my Amazon wish list. And I care not for your opinions of just how ridiculous I would look in it. Those movies are my childhood.
I'd suppose you'd also say no one should ever gift me the original Power Rangers Megazord that I have pined for since I was 6 or whatever?
It's a sizeable monetary investment, but if you're serious about video at all, a Steadicam will almost instantly transform your shaky, crappy home movies into smooth, beautiful, pro-quality shots.
@Segador: If you're serious about video, but still have to scrape coins for the dollar menu, then perhaps you could check out the Poor Man's Steadicam.
I built one myself, took maybe a couple hours. It's not fantastic, mind you, and it takes some work to figure out how to use the counterweight to your advantage. Used properly, however, it's a significant improvement over....nothing.
@OCEntertainment: For sure. A friend of mine build the same thing with plumbing supplies, and it works. It's not the same as an actual Steadicam, but, yeah, it's a big improvement over hand-held.
Also, you can always go with editing software (you know - a legitimate copy) or screenwriting software. It's one of the few times that it isn't impersonal.
And of course, you can always have a family&friends-wide fund to save up for the good stuff. A $1,000 camera sounds like a lot until you have 10 people chipping in to pay for it.
Do you eat the parsely, or do you not eat the parsely? I don't know what to do and it's ruining what would otherwise be a perfect experience. #baconsunrise

Fie, I say. Fie!

As much as I love watching and making movies, the hat is still the coolest thing out of the list.

@valkilmerisawful: Parsley is for garnish BUT, you can and should eat it. It helps kill mouth odor and of course, it's good for you. #baconsunrise
