In this video, filmmaker Dave Knop (aka: knoptop) shows us how he turned a random $4 dollar keychain he got from a hardware store into a pretty effective follow focus that fits large and small lenses. Check it out below:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe keychain Knop uses in the video is called the Key Band-It, a flexible band made out of waterproof, latex-free material. Though these things are designed to keep your keys safe, particularly while you&#8217;re at the gym, we can clearly see that it works well as a follow focus thanks to its accordion design and &#8220;ThermoPlastic Rubber&#8221; band, which provides plenty of grip. (You can get it for $4 at Lowes.)\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIs it the greatest DIY follow focus ever? I don&#8217;t know, but it definitely looks like it works. So it might be worth a shot, especially if you&#8217;re not using anything right now to help you focus.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nofilmschool.com\/2017\/09\/watch-how-turn-keychain-perfect-diy-follow-focus\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: NoFilmSchool<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a super cheap and easy follow focus solution.
