I'm just watching Radiohead's Jigsaw Falling Into Place, on Rage, and the gimmick there is to have the band members wear a helmet with a camera mounted on some sort of mounting a couple of feet in front of their head, looking back at their face. Tom Yorke can sure move his head. I can thoroughly endorse this product and/or service:
For some reason I am reminded of my experiments into computer visualisation utilising a spaceball input device.
But now I have to work out how to do the same to my helmet cam (theirs is a lot better quality unfortunately) -- I front-quick-release-cam looking back at my feet was highly uninteresting.
I suspect this person is having some trouble balancing theirs:

Heh! A bizarre effect. I saw this technique on the intro to Chosen Line (MTB) on Foxtel a while back -
but Huey Lewis did a similar thing way back in the 80's with mounting the cam on the mike stand and instruments -
. Powderfinger also did something similar on the On My Mind filmclip but it uses computer wizardry rather than a clever cam mount I think -
