Best creative lomo camera?

The retro looking Harinezumi 2+++ is a built for artists camera.

It is a little pearl in the desert, very undervalued at its release and, like all good things, appreciated and reevaluated over time. Produced in Tokyo, the camera expresses a truly unique color rendering. It is shaped like a roll of 110 film and is equipped with 10 creative effects and multiple exposure modes. Harinezumi 2 +++ shoots in different frame rates, and enables the user to create a vintage looking movie like super 8 retro style videos.

Its size gives the possibility to take a creative movie on the spot, furthermore you can control the sound by switching it on/off. This japanese device in its second version since the original one, has been used by famous artists and musicians from allover the world to produce amazing digital wonders.

Personally, I used the  Harinezumi creatively in a movie mounted on my Red Helium (using a magic arm) to have the double perspective of the actor, creating a double look a the same time: the vision of the present and the vision of the past.

Introducing VHO Pro LiteRibbon LED

The new VHO Pro LED LiteRibbon is the simplest color correct lighting product available. Years in the making, just 3 simple components make this minimal light source created exclusively for cinema and tv production. At its core, the new VHO Pro LED emitters are a design breakthrough. We have created a beautiful, full spectrum, white light that renders skin-tones and colors to their natural state. VHO Pro emitters are fully color-correct and blend freely with legacy tungsten and fluorescent units as well as modern high-end LED fixtures from Arri, Mole Richardson and others. VHO Pro emitters are the first LEDs to bring high CRI, full spectrum color-correct white light to what we call low-output LED products. Typically reserved for high wattage and high cost LED fixtures, the new VHO Pro line brings color-correct white light into the affordable range.
