Since we're working on an ambitious documentary film called App: The Human Story, with a crowdfunded budget, we have to find ways to stretch every dollar. That's why we built our own shoulder rig and put together this DIY guide so you can build your own at a fraction of what you might pay online for a pre-assembled rig.

Impactful Storytelling: Ultimately, the goal is to tell a story that is impactful and engaging. By being economical, writers can create a narrative that maintains the audience's interest and delivers a powerful message or experience in a concise manner.If you’re looking for a fun and creative way to upgrade your photography equipment, then you should consider making your own camera cheese plate. This DIY project is surprisingly easy and inexpensive to make, and it can provide an essential tool for any photographer’s arsenal. By creating a custom-made cheese plate out of wood or metal, you can easily attach various pieces of equipment like cameras, lenses, flash units, and other devices to the top surface.

It also gives an opportunity for dialogue between two actors if needed, as well as showing off props and set pieces. At its core, it’s about creating atmosphere; establishing time, place and mood with minimal effort. How Far Apart are Camera Cheese Plate Holes?Streamlining Plot: This involves focusing on essential plot points that drive the story forward. Subplots that don't contribute to the central narrative or theme are often minimized or eliminated. This allows you to set your rig down on flat surfaces. That sounds minor, but with previous shoulder rigs, this wasn’t an option and could lead to precariously balancing your rig to take a break. Trimming Excess: During the editing phase, writers look critically at their work to remove any elements that don't serve the story. This might involve cutting redundant scenes, streamlining dialogue, or even removing characters that don't add significant value to the narrative.
