This week on Backyard FX, Erik and the crew build a Cable-Cam to achieve awesome cinematic camera angles like fly-thru and overhead shots. The Cable-Cam is like a camera dolly, but instead of being on a track, the camera is in the air on cables or rope, so you can shoot above the action. Erik shows you how to capture these tough angles like the pros for under $30

Now, I know you often visit the local junk store, but this trip won't be for the purchase of a second-hand toilet seat. Instead, you'll be finding the pieces necessary to build your very own RAY GUN! That way you can just stick up the toilet store and get new, yet surprisingly free toilet seats.
