They have been commissioned by the southby southwest film festival to make a bunch of shorts/bumper vids for introducing the categories and this prop is their centerpiece.
The camera is almost entirely organic and made from shit we gathered when I was fishing the Musconetcong on Monday. The film is made from orchid fronds and those spools will actually feed each other if you pull on a piece of tippet. The lens rotates and telescopes like it should.
We were up ALL NIGHT working on it.
