POV head rig

[Paul Fotofili]

Hi all,

I'm a first timer to this site and in fact a first timer to any kind of forum. I'm looking for help for a shoot where I'll be needing to create a POV rig to sit somewhere where a persons head normally would be. It's to create that old POV shot seen plenty of times ("Being John Malkovic") where the audience also can see the body's hands functioning in front of it.

I guess this rig mounts onto the head somehow but can't quite figure it out. I will be using a HDV camera which (comparitively) is light and reasonably compact. The body wearing the rig would need to be quite mobile. Is this possible? How is it done?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
