Cool Stuff: An Alarm Clock For Film Geeks

By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 20, 2007 2:47 pm EST

Finally there is an alarm clock for hardcore film geeks and aspiring filmmakers. Chinavasion presents this director’s clapperboard shaped alarm clock, which displays the time in a 24 hour format (complete with deci-seconds) as well as the date.

When the alarm rings, just like a director, use the clapper and clip the board just like you are beginning a film take, and the alarm stop. Measuring in at 185(L) x 225(W) x 26(D) mm and retailing for just under $36, the Digital Clapperboard Alarm Clock can be wall mounted (and even comes with a built in wall mount) or you can use the desktop hinge to display it on your nightstand or desk. I might pick one of these up just to mount as a wall clock. Cool Stuff is a daily feature of slashfilm.com. Know of any geekarific creations or cool products which should be featured on Cool Stuff?
