Several months ago we told you about a Kickstarter project we were backing called SnapFocus from Midas Mount.
It’s an ingenious piece of indie film making gear made from spare bicycle parts that allows you to control your camera’s focus using bicycle brake handles.
It was invented by a filmmaker and former editor of ours, Brandon David Cole.
Brandon has started delivering the SnapFocus, and he shot some video of us trying out it around the office.
Changing How We Work
In the video, we both talk about why the SnapFocus is going to change the way we work in documentary and unscripted television.
