About me: I'm a SuperHero. What superpowers do I have?
Well, for starters, I've got a camera in my bellybutton.

Rolfe Bergstrom's youTube channel.
Excerpted from "The Pitch for Camera Man" at Repeated Expletives:
The idea is a series of short films. Super short, like 20 seconds to 3 minutes each. They tell the tale of a superhero named CameraMan. He has one super power for certain - that being the camera in his bellybutton. Anything else you want to add is fair game.
Think short super-hero stories, but filmed from the point of view of the camera in the Hero's belly. Each film would be one or two quick riffs on the superhero genre, filmed from this weird (almost dutch) angle. You'd save on special effects by never having to show the hero himself, and being able to simulate powers just at the edges of the camera's vision. People hundreds of miles apart could make chapters, since we'd never see the hero's face. But you would have to be careful when filming around reflective surfaces.
Anyone can film a chapter in the adventures of Camera Man. If you do, please mention Rolfe Bergstrom and www.myspace.com/cameramansuperhero in your credits.
