NOTE: Pinhole lenses are known for requiring LOTS of light. To compensate for the under-exposed image, I lowered the shutter and also raised the ISO to an objectionably high number: 64,000. "Crafsman, what?!?" Yes, you normally do NOT want to use a high ISO. But for this lo-fi home movie style footage, it works VERY VERY well. Forgot to outright mention that in the video.

My family and I are so grateful that I get to do this.
Since you brought up the idea of using swappable foil apertures, it might also be worth mention (or experimentation) that the aperture shape defines the point spread function. In other words, you can think of the final image as the convolution of the scene with the aperture shape. The smaller the aperture, the finer the detail. It should then follow that non-round apertures will produce different effects. A thin slot will produce a directional (pseudo-motion) blur. A ring-shaped aperture will accentuate sharp edges by doubling them. You should see similar effect using two small apertures. There's lots of things a creative person could try if the goal is not optimized fidelity.
Crafsman, I just want to say as an amateur linguist that "Legos" with an S is perfectly fine. It's just a difference in regional dialects, but for some reason, people who say it without the S get all riled up about the people who say the S (kind of like how my cousins from one part of the US argue with cousins from another part over "soda" vs. "pop" and the pronunciation of "aunt").
By the way i've always called them Legos...
CrafsMamma makes me smile every time I hear her.
I love hearing CrafsMamma, but I can rarely make out what she's sayin'. My hillbilly ears has a bit of difficulty with that sweet sothern draw.
New rule: Crafsman can call Lego whatever the heck he wants! (PS Hey, Crafsmama!)
Crafsman, you have single-handedly reignited my passion for being creative. Every video is beautifully done and so interesting, and contains all of the things that I love. Just found your channel and the videos about making your own figures from drawings blew me away. Thank you, thank you Mr. Crafsman. Your workmanship does not go unnoticed.
This means a lot to me!
He is the best thing on the internet.
Fantastic use of available "tools" to make your jig - and the end result is amazing. Modern Pinhole "Lens" + 18fps hack = Nostalgia Filter. Everytime you let light into your camera CrafsMan, you pour it out all over the world. Thanks for spreading the light and Keep On Keepin' On.
You need your own Netflix show like yesterday Crafsman! You astound us with the amount of creativity and humor mixed like the best epoxy to keep us all glued together!
Loved the little OSHA man watching over the project 🤣
Approved.
6:42-6:45 The sound you made right there made me laugh like a fool! Amazing video TheCrafsMan. I have no clue how it dawns on you to try out something like a perfectly-fitting Lego jig. You're crazy creative!
Crafsman, I just wanted to say that, I dont know if you realize what your videos mean to people. Whenever something rotten happens in the world, my wife and myself sit around and watch your videos until the world seems a little brighter. You're truly a bright spot on this sometimes dreary planet. Thank you for your work!
I'm glad you also like cameras and audio as much as you like crafting 👍
"Be like Count Dracula and think outside the box" might be the funniest thing I'll ever hear ever again. At least until the next show.
Crafsman! You got me watching your videos because you load them with iridescent pearls of knowledge no matter what the overall topic! For example, I've been wracking my brain trying to craft some tank wheels. Trying to find if they are perfectly circle in addition to locating their exact center point. Seriously, I've been making teeny tiny speed squares and was in the middle of crafting another thingamajig that would help me determine if the diameter of my wheels were all uniform. Then I see your Lego jig! Simple! Thank you so much, Crafsman!
I love how Crafsmama is always there to keep you on the straight and narrow. You are truly blessed. Thanks for this one; I learned a lot. xox
Three quick things:
I would love to have a couple hours of your video montage and soft music to loop in the background while working.
I never understood the Lego vs Legos fight... Lego Bricks => Legos is just fine to me and I love Lego.
Your discovery of the plate and 1x4s to hold the lens cap reminded me of Perifractic on Retro Recipes discovering that a Lego t bar is the exact side of the keycap post on a Commodore 64 when he was building a replacement C64 case out of Lego... such happy coincidences.
Thank you for the feedback! I was just telling my wife how much I'd like to make a music video. No talking - just warm, lo-fi footage set to music. :D
OH, and that C64 discovery... I didn't see that, but mannnnnnn how I like those occurrences!
Also, I've got a note to one day share with y'all my favorite C64 music. :D
I’d still be all for a compilation album of music, dotted with select CraftQuotes.
Thanks for enriching the global community CrafsMan. Sincerely.
@@TheCrafsMan please do, I really like the way you made the little video with the 8mm feel and the music was perfect.
@@TheCrafsMan PLEASE DO THIS. I am studying for the Bar right now and something like that would be perfect to keep my calm and focused. Your footage is just so soothing.
I swear, the pause after he says "my name is your host..." gets longer and more elaborate every video! 😆
Crafsman you look 10 years younger without the beard.Crafsman u crazy.
I love the intro “lookin around” gag
You are just a cornucopia of knowledge and talents. You are truly a blessing and we appreciate you and Crafsmama.
Footage came out beautiful and ethereal. Love it.
I love the effect the lens has, and the variety of creative problem solving.
Love how much Crafsmama is getting featured in your videos lately! Keep up the awesome work sir.
Aww snap! Is that a Crafsbeat!? That lil beat during the Super 8 mess....BANANAS!
I would listen to a Lo-Fi Crafsman Craftin beats record all day
Crafffsman i love this. When I do decide to do the short film business, you will single handily taught me everything I need to know
Also check out the frugal filmmaker. He makes everything you'd ever need for awesome videos out of every day products for a fraction of the price
I have no interest in photography, cameras or any such things. Still this is premium content. You could make videos on whatever subject you want and I'll be watching and enjoying it. Thank you! Send our love to crafsmama to :)
my favorite part of this video (which I loved the entire video and its creativity) was the mini-movie. It was so soothing. I could play that on my tv all day as background music/scenery.
Crafsman. My wife and I love your videos and they have inspired our own crafts. That being said, please don't let OSHA man see you using gloved hand so close to rotating power tools! I'm not privy to the real regulations so please excuse me if I'm wrong, but the idea of Lego OSHA man shutting your shop down makes me nervous!
:D You're right about that! ;)
Crafsman needs to make a guided meditation podcasts. The way he speaks makes me happy.
Wow what a great tutorial I really love the aesthetic that it gives of at 16:27. You can still see the image even though it’s blurry
This channel is so wholesome I love it
What I really appreciate about this video is how you show alternatives to the steps, with the pros & cons for each of them (including the kind of first-thing-in-reach option that I usually go for!).
I remember making pinhole cameras in shoe boxes at school, but things have moved on since! XD
Love the song and music video... so relaxing
Thank you for calling out the irrelevance of time, in our current predicament.
Love you Crafsman 💜💚💙
The Lego jig was meant to be! Thanks for another lovely video
feels warm man .
thank you crafsman , very cool.
Was just feeling like I was missing Crafsman, and boom!, there you were!
C-Man! This is awesome! Btw, I really think you're videos have incredible audio. The levels are so smooth, beats so fresh, etc. Don't think we ain't noticin'!
My man, thank you for that!
Just wanted to say I finally got my hands on some Tony's and I am so thankful that you have introduced me to it, it's the best
The aesthetic in your videos is beautiful, you are a fantastic creator...thank you for doing "you"
Phenomenal my friend. I used to have a 49 Ford F1. Now off to download Magic Lantern. - Eric.
Eric, thank you so much for the kind words! That means a LOT coming from you.
I appreciate the work you do.
TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin you always inspire me, my friend. 🙏
I could listen to the music during the vintage lens video footage for hours.
Your videos make me happy, Crafsman. You have such a clever and whimsical mind. Your workshop is so cool, and satisfyingly neat. Hello to Crafsmama, too!
Lazy, peaceful afternoon steady craftin
After my seeing my wife's smile, this was the next best part of the day. Thank you Mr CrafsMan.
Wow I feel like you took be back to the 80/90s and I’ve never been there in the 1st place.
Your genius was visiting the day you shot that beautiful footage. Such a wonderful vintage feel. thank you so much for sharing.
I would be front of the queue at the record store to buy some crafsman lofi beats! Crafsman, you are awesome!
Reading the captions for this is quite the experience. Love ya crafsman
Super awesome!!! Now I have a new use for my giant box of Legos! Been needing a thing like this for my drill! Will also try these lens tricks whenever I get my new camera!
Legos, legos, legos. years in the making can't stop me now.
Legos = sheeps
@@AdelleOverton really, step on a pile in the night and see what you tell, haha
That's an awesome old home movie type effect. This stuff is gold. Love it.
Thank you for sharing this. It's so easy to forget that while we do have the highest possible technology at our fingertips, there are still charming and endearing effects that can be found using very primitive ideas. Love this. Might have to make one of these for my own works!
Another great video! Never stop thinking outside the box, Crafsman. We love seeing your spin on how to do things. 👍
I feel relaxed when i listen to your voice. And i love the piano music. This channel is so cool man. I feel better. Thank you
It's so wonderful to see you express the art that you've been wanting to this whole time. I can't wait to see your next video I always look forward to your little songs and interesting camera techniques not to mention your wonderful sense of humor.
The pinhole montage at the end is beautiful! Your videos are super inspiring. 👍👍
This is the most entertaining thing I have seen on youtube in awhile 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Crafsman leeping me sane in this lockdown 💙
This world needs more CrafsMan
I enjoy the meta-crafting stuff quite a bit. I know you didn't get a lot of response on the number memorization trick, but I thought it was awesome and hope you teach us more of the esoteric secrets to your genius. Thx u
A wonderful blend of modern after-effects and old school camera tricks to recreate 8mm film quality. Amazing job, CrafsMan. And a special appearance by CrafsMama as well. ^_^
I was sitting here thinking "I hope CrafsMan posts a video today." 10 minutes later.......
Most wholesome RUclipsr ever
Every time crafsman apologizes I feel really guilty.
I would call that outcome beautiful, welcoming, homely.
Your videos make me so happy. Thank you.
The amount of creativity in this video is outstanding! Now I too know how to make a Pin Hole lens, for future Video recording use. Thanks so much for making these videos.
YAY! A new Crafsman video!!! Best day ever. :-)
I fall asleep to his voice. Soooooo soothing
Watching the new Crafsman video with some milk and cornbread ☺
Also, I can see that you have already shaved your beard Crafsman! 😁
Is is homemade cornbread or store-bought? I like dumping corn muffins in milk. 😃
I've never thought of dipping my cornbread muffins into milk.
Now I need to try that,most importantly I need some cornbread.
@@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST Thank you very much!!
@@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST homemade brother. Been trying my hand on baking during this quarantine period (to varying results) 😁
I actually learned dipping cornbread in milk from Crafsman! ☺ next I'll try biscuits with honey or jam
Crafsman you just make life more steady enjoyable.
Did a pinhole camera in a science class many years ago. Nice to see the idea hasn't died!
Crafsman for our pinhole camera we used to use a shoebox painted black (matte not gloss) on the inside and sealed closed with duct tape a piece of an aluminum can for the pin lens and more tape as the shutter we then used photo paper as the "film" ... it was an extremely easy way to get into photography.... as long as you had a darkroom but a simple B&W setup isn't that expensive (a few chemicals, plastic tubs, a redlight and a closet) you could make a 4×5 foamcore camera loosely based on the Kodak Brownie just as easily
I needed some wholesome crafsman, I’ve been down today, thanks for getting me through the day
So if instead of putting the pinhole aperture into paper one puts the pinhole aperture into small squareish piece of flatten soda can using a 1 mm bit, one can achieve higher levels sharp focus and adjustability as you can move the hole from direct center for lighting effects.
CrafsMan, this was fascinating! And those 8mm effects took me back!
I love you crafsman and I love the whole crafsfam. You are such a blessing.
Thank you very much CrafsMan...I love all that you do and the wealth of fun and useful knowledge you provide is unbeatable....the world is a better place with you and all that you give in it.
Thank you so much.
This is amazing please make more camera, photography tutorials. You make is super easy to understand.
A lot of woodworkers use legos to make a corner 3 bricks high and use that to drill “perpendicular” (but we call it ‘square’) into wood. Just rest the drill bit against the inside corner and it will stay straight.
Thanks to your camera videos, it has inspired me to use my old Canon FTb 📷. It was gifted to me years ago but was to overwhelmed on how to use and get best photographs, especially with film and processing being so expensive. Im enjoying learning new techniques.
So fresh, so chill
“I want to apologize for any stress Crafsman may have caused to you by referring to these as Legos, alright.” 🤣
Keep checkin' checkin' buddy. Also, we did this in 4th grade and I still think about it. It's something I'm going to share with my kids. Thank you for your time buddy and talents!
I love it! I've used Lego to build a small, makeshift 90° square for marking cuts on small woodworking projects.
Omgoodness, you are so endearing and hilarious, CrafsMan. I love watching your brilliant techniques and processes! Thank you for all that you do ^_^
Great! 😁... Love how you explain everything ... and the use the Lego.. 👍
Love the look of the shots at the end!
That song during the footage was great
3:00 well since you mentioned.. i would normally trace the outer circle onto paper but the outside rim is a bit jagged, so it would be easier to press a piece of tinfoil into the top to replicate the inner circle. then cut the circle from the foil, fold it into even quadrants & place it back on the lenscap, pinpointing the exact center with a crosshair.
The video you made look SO awesome. Very lo-fi, I would've honestly thought you used a vintage camera if I didn't see the tutorial. And I love the light leaks.
Glad OSHA finally sent a representative to certify your SteadyCraftin. I'd imagine it just took him a while to get there.
Wow feels like I'm in a different place in time watching that!
Approaching comfy levels never seen before.....
Crafsman cookin' up them tasty lo-fi aesthetics, mmm-mmm
Honestly, i had no interest in cinematography at all til you started showing how artistic and fun you could get with it. Thanks crafsman
Crafsman you done went and got crazy with it up in here on this one. You’re awesome.
Yes, very helpful, thanks Crafsman! Your videos always make me smile and a lot of times make me laugh!
Hahaha, Pin hole lookin,what? We love you CrafsMan!
You've inspired me to make one. 3d printed a cap today and will be playing with foil tomorrow. Thanks, Crafsman.
