I'm just getting started and am trying to find a camera mount for a specific effect.

You know the reality shows and some TV shows where the person being shot is wearing the camera, turned back at their face, and the camera moves with their body movement?

What kind of mount is that called?

Thanks
Aaron

It's called a SnorriCam.

You learn something new everyday...

To see effective use of this camera mount, check out Requiem for a Dream from 2000. Excellent, intense movie by Darren Aronofsky.

Yes, that was quite the effective/intense use of the camera. In fact, that's the only use of it in a major motion picture that I can think of...

Mean Streets uses it pretty well, as does Pi. I know I've seen it in a couple of others, but I can't think of them right now.

So Aronofsky must like the shot.

Yeah its downright intense in Requiem For A Dream.

Its also used incredibly in Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.

Really? Downright intense downright intense? I thought it was just downright intense.

Yeah I was thinking of that scene in Lock Stock, but it's been a while since I've seen it, and I couldn't remember what movie it was, lol.

Thanks! That's what I was looking for! Even found plans to build one. Thanks again!
