<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 5381791, member: 19463"]I'm taking a break from attempting to join the video generation. After seeing some big dealers posted videos of coins that made it easier to see details 'in hand' I wanted to see if I could make a video without employing a hand model. To do this, I constructed a rocking platform that would make it possible to tilt the coin back and forth hoping to get light play on the surfaces. My lighting turned out to be too flat to show sparkle and my rocking mechanism was jerky. I first tried it with my full frame DSLR (Canon RP) but even at f/22 a very small amount of the coin was in focus at any time so I switched to a phone which gave overall poor but more even resolution (as expected from a phone sensor). I was hoping to make a video record of my ten favorite coins of all time but decided that video is not adding anything to the mix. Is anyone else working on something like this? My last (and last for a while anyway) attempt is below. Lets face it: I am not a videographer and too lazy to put in the work needed to become one. </p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]BdUeoEMK3V4[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
