One of our readers thought it might be a classy idea to share his recent exploits in the world of DS filmmaking with us."I was trying to make some screen captures of the Ds game "Ossu! Tatakae! Ouendan! [sic], but the best way of doing so, would be to capture the whole thing on camera. The problem started when I needed to capture the video from above the DS. It had to be close enough so the camera could capture the video, I had to be able to see the DS and be able to play while taping."
While this is hardly a dilemma for those of us with three or more hands, a solution had to be discovered or, in this case, intricately constructed. Grabbing some nearby tinker toys, he set to work on an incredible engineering marvel that would ultimately serve his video-capturing purposes. The end result is a rather colorful, but seemingly effective camera stand...thing. It even allows the camera a certain degree of movement, an absolutely vital feature when it comes to those majestic and sweeping overhead shots.
You can view the final video (and ridiculous display of music-and-rhythm action) after you follow the link.

I don't know anything about Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, but I do know that I love L'arc~en~Ciel. ;)

Um, I would think a regular old tripod would suffice perfectly well for something like this. It's one of the reasons they exist, after all.
Of course, far be it for me to criticize a complex solution to a simple problem that was solved a long time ago, but, well, whatever.
