How to: MAKE A $10 VIDEO CAMERA

Dan Mace turned cardboard into a Video Camera for his personal project.



You will need:

- Scissors and craft knife
- Black Card
- Glue and black tape
- Aluminum can
- Pin
- Sandpaper
- Velcro
- Photographic light sensitive paper

Method:

Cut the template out of the black card and fold it into shape. Cut a small hole for the pinhole shutter. The pinhole itself is made from a small strip from a soda can. Poke a hole with your needle, layover your black card shutter. You can attach a removable lid on your box with some strips of Velcro, and fix the shutter in place with glue. With the photographic film safely in the sealed box, you’re ready to take photos.

I made a video using this cardboard box by turning it into a video camera. It takes a super retro and artsy looking capture. Swipe to see it. Once I started this project I didn’t realize how long it would take. But I smacked it to the end. Watch the video on my youtube channel.
