I finally graduated from college! 

I built a 1:48 scale paper model of the Hubble Space Telescope and mounted A CAMERA INSIDE IT. The result is a Hubble-grad-cap-POV-cam! 

Video quality isn't the best, but I think it's pretty good for a $20 camera the size of two quarters that's mounted inside a paper tube on top of somebody's head!

This is the edited down video. There are four parts, see annotations for specific details:

1 - (0:00) Turning on the camera when they started reading names. Left this in so Colin can see himself waving. :)

2 - (1:00) Our row  standing up to get in line.

3 - (1:48) The reading of names for the Mech/Aero Dept. This begins with Colin and then I walk about 10 names later. After that, the rest of the Mech/Aero names are read.

4 - (11:09) The end of the ceremony, including the singing of Alma Mater. The Professors walk out and then we follow them off into the sun.
