Check out what I made

Yeah I was bored. I doubt it works but it looks cool as hell.
 
If you search back through the forum to last year a member posted a diagram you could download/print to make a cardboard shade from.
 
Fun project, although I'm not sure I'd actually use this on a shoot for a client. It might look a little too DIY for me to charge them some serious $$ ;-)
 
haha, I thought about this once, but never did it. Now I have a project for today instead of finishing my dolly. :) (bank's closed and I needed to deposit 100 dollars in coins :) )
 
it's half done. Although I used another example that was posted a few weeks ago by Eric Elliot on his XL2. pictures to come.
 
d4v that pic looks unfinished to me, do you have anymore after is been completed and while in use? thanks

this is true, saw one in here too that looked identical...cardboard seems to...disposable. theres gotta be some kind of plastic, im thinkin the plasti, you see road signs made of...
yeah ill try that
 
well yea mine is just cardboard painted black, its seriously like, a 10 - 20 minute project. i just traced the shape of the original matte box onto carboard and winged it from there. i recomend it, it may not have clout, but it works great, and it costs nothing.
