The digital video market is ever changing with new technologies coming out and gagets being presented to filmmakers and videographers alike.

FreshDV was over at NAB in Las Vegas covering the conference there. One of the new gagets that was presented was “EyeLiner“.

This is a beautiful invention. What it does is that it allows for the individual to look into the camera when they speak.

Normally people have difficulty looking into the camera because it’s not normal for people to talk interactivitly with a machine.

This invention puts a reflection of the director where the camera lens is. See the following article and video. When you watch the video, skip to the last third of the video to see the EyeLiner: NAB Video – Day 1 Coverage

The Challenge:

• Make a poor man’s EyeLiner. Perhaps I’ll present this challenge to Mr. Chung Lee, the inventor of the “Poor Man’s Steady Cam“
• What I can understand is that we need a simple mirror, a one-way mirror, somehow fixate that to a wood housing, shaped like the eyeliner, and something that allows it to stand on a tripod by itself.
