35mm Depth of Field (DOF) Adapter

35mm Depth of Field (DOF) Adapter Tube. Duration : 1.62 Mins.


Sample footage from my home-made 35mm Depth of Field Adapter for my Sony HVR-A1P HD camera. Basically, it's a box that has the mounting ring from an old Canon AE-1 camera that accepts Canon FD lenses. Inside the box is a spindle-motor from an old Sony Discman hooked up to a 1.5v AA battery holder and switch. On the spindle is a frosted CD from spindle bulk-pack of CDs (the clear or frosted ones you get on the top and bottom of the stack). A 37mm macro lens screwed on the front of the HVR-A1 allows the camera to focus onto the rotating CD through a hole in the back of the box, and some extruded-angle and 'T' aluminium bars hold the box and camera together. The result here is a little darker than the original thanks to the compression process used by YouTube, but you can see the effect. Music created using Magix Music Maker.
