We could have a pull string attached to the cardboard Barry chin and when we need something answered we could just pull the string and there would be pre-programmed responses.

I wonder if we could have a EIGHT BALL BARRY? Just shake it and wait for him command?

Hello. I don't post often sorry about that but today I would like to share my creation. It is a matte box that fits on the stock DVX100A sun shade. I made it out of a piece of a black plastic trash can. It will work great for people that use 72mm filters.

(1). I made a template out of cardboard then traced it on the piece of trash can then cut it out with an exacto knife.

(2). Once it was cut out I folded the corners and duct taped the ends together (I didn't go to the hardware store to get plastic glue yet).

(3). When that was done I cut slits *into the tabs so I could put a velcro strap throught it.

(4) Finally attached it to the sun shade and tighten the velcro strap and there you are, a thick plastic weather proof matte box that is the same color as the stock sun shade.

This project took about an hour to do. The good thing about the design is that it is simple and can be easily customized. You can make it longer, bigger, or etc.

enjoy

Where are the photos, I would love to take a look at them, it sounds like a great project.
I loved the original CAD drawing project, the Mattebox looks beautiful.
Congratulations..

Keep it up all you guys.
