I'm wondering what rig they used for the camera shot where the camera is facing the actor, attached to the actor. I have a scene where the actor is running through the woods and I want to shoot it like this.

That is a Bell & Howell Eyemo.

Indeed an Eyemo, and to answer a previous question, I'm positive they didn't shoot the rest of the film with that camera. Eyemo's are good because they are light and cheap(er). They are mainly used for specialty reasons or as crash cams, in case a stunt goes wrong, etc.

^ i'm not sure I understand.
As I mention in another thread, a camera's look is from the lens and film stock. So a working Eyemo from before time can be used and work great like a newer cam.

I built one out of wood and nylon straps with my friend for a short horror film last summer, check it out at the end!

I have an Eyemo sitting on a shelf. It is vintage 1943 and marked US Army Signal Corp. They used these things to film the classic WW II documentaries. These things are practically bullet proof.
