Who cares if it's a toy or not. Cameras are nothing more then tools for the photographer or cinematographer no matter what the cost or original purpose of it's creation and the main reason why people hack, modify or simply try using their gear in new and inventive ways. Look at the Lens Baby, it was practically a novelty item when it first came out for the amateur market but that didn't stop Janusz Kaminski from using it in The Divingbell and the Butterfly and now you have a version of that lens for motion picture use. So if someone has modified this $75 dollar camera to a $450 dollar motor I want to know about it just like I wanted to know on another forum if anyone modified a Holga to a Phase One Back( which sure enough a few people have). Even more important to me is I have a client who's a fashion designer and was able to convinced her of it's potential to be used with other cameras were shooting for a spot to be used for her on-line campaign which has a good chance of playing in Milan next year and may even get semi promoted by Conde Nast. So finding out what people have done with this camera is beneficial to me, my client, other like minded people and of course help with the promotion of using film which if you haven't noticed on the front of this website is reportedly DYING!granfer wrote:OMG!

Are you for REAL?
Suddenly, LOMO is being hailed as the potential saviour of the amateur and professional Motion Picture Camera industry.... and all over a TOY!!!
And we have the BRILLIANT idea of adding a MOTOR to the TOY, as if REAL 35mm still cameras with motor drives haven't existed for many, many years already!!!
Are you taking the mickey?
If not, I repeat what I said earlier.... Get a GRIP!!
So, really next time you feel the urge to be a jackass after waking up with a bad hangover of drinking piss-warm Guinness and sleeping under the London Bridge all night, go do us all a favor and dump you head into the river and sober up so you can prove your an actual semi coherent human being. Maybe that will help you get a GRIP, you drunken TROLL!
