DIY Big Head Video Screen Costume

Industrious builder of wondrous contraptions Dan Rosenfeld channelled his love of video conferencing, and the Apple Macintosh commercial from 1984, into an awesome Big Video Head rig that would make the Wizard of Oz green with envy.

Here's more about the Big Head Project:

The rig is a head-mounted box with a 24-inch LCD monitor on the front that displays a larger-than-life version of Dan's face. Inside the box, Dan has a tiny camera trained on his face, a microphone, and a monitor connected to an external camera so he can see where he's going. To test gaze awareness, the rig is configured so that Dan is looking directly at you while talking to reduce the thousand-yard stare associated with teleconferencing.

That soap/gun story always reminds me of the Woody Allen movie "Take the Money and Run" where he attempts it during a rain storm, ending up with a handful of bubbles.

Yea, is that the same movie where the teller can't read his "penmanship" on the hold-up note? HA HA Anyway, back to Dillinger, he's a fellow Hoosier and we are so proud of him here in Indiana. Mellencamp, Florence Henderson and John Dillinger! Oh yea, Charlie Manson spent some time here too. Plus, Jim Jones.....think I'll stop there.

I have met the Hinds family and done extensive research. You failed to mention that Hinds was innocent of the crime his was imprisoned for and whilst "on the run" he would risk capture by meeting with the press to plead his innocence.
