So the blog has been a bit quiet lately and there’s good reason for that. We are revamping the blogging site which we’re very excited about. At the moment, things are still under construction so please stay tuned as we put the finishing touches on this project

Have a fun and safe Halloween everyone!

Here is also a description of how to go about creating this cool tool which might cost you around $800 buying it online when we only spent around $75.

TOOLS
Tools used were A table saw, router, screwdriver, drill, and sewing machine.
PARTS
Parts were 50/50 beamsplitter glass, wood, screws, hinges, latch,
Velcro strips, canvas.
PROCESS
We used ¼ inch plywood for the base of the chassis, sized to fit our
thinkpad laptop (17”x22”), with 1.5×3/4” strips to support the glass
frame. We use two 1.5” hinges to attach the glass frame, and a swing
hinge with a wingnut to allow variable frame positioning. We even
used a magnetic latch from the glass door an old stereo rack, and
shock pads on the underside of the glass frame. .We placed rubber feet
on the base, allowing it to be places on a pedestal or shelf for use,
but we wanted the ability to put the whole device on a tripod, so we
routed a channel to fit our tripod using a 2×4. The most technically
difficult part of the process was the routing. We also routed a 2×4
to receive the tripod foot and hold the camera. Finally, we painted
it with black spraypaint. The last step was to create a hood to keep
light off the back side of the glass. This was made out of medium
weight canvas and Velcro strips, which were sewn to the hood and glued
to the wood.

The unit weighs less than 10 pounds.
We downloaded our software, MirrorScriptPro, at freetelepromptersoftware.com.

I’m going to be making a weekly pick for the best video on Sharing Hope.TV and repost them here every Friday. If you come across one that you think will be a great selection please let me know! I’m basing my decision on several different factors ranging from visual/audio elements to the video’s message so goodluck to everyone!
