MAKE video poscast: make a kite arial photography rig
MAKE sez:
For this weekend project, I’ve made a Kite Arial Photography Rig (KAP). This was one of those projects that require remaking multiple times to get it so that it would fly. I started with a VEX robotics kit and then had to make lots of changes to make it lighter. Watch the video to learn more! For more instructions, please read the instructional post.

BBC Video Nation online videos about Lomography
"Video Nation teamed up with BBC Four to produce a series of shorts about Lomography, to coincide with the Happy Snappy Days exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London."
While the off-the-shelf "Lomographer" identity thing makes me want to fucking puke and I think it should die in a car fire, it is an interesting set of videos. Watch them online at bbc.co.uk.
