just a quickie

this is just something i did while bored one night. nothing too exciting, but i can tell you that it managed to eat up a LOT of my time. it is surprising how long it took to create this little clip. not sure i like the stop motion stuff, because i am far too impatient.

How humble can you get? Just a little something ... nothing too exciting ... ??

You need to market yourself better! This is great! Definitely the next step on from your previous time lapse video at your desk. Next time you could give us a Morph video (click on this link if you've got no idea what I'm talking about).

By the way, how do you do it exactly?? You seem to know when your camera's going to capture a frame 'cos I didn't see your legs move once the whole time you were "sliding" around the room. I'm thinking of buying a video camera in the near future. Does your camera have some special feature for this kind of stuff?

morph video, eh? not sure i have enough time or patience to be able to do something of any significant length......


my computer has a camera built in to the lid, and i just used that.

as for how i managed to know when the camera was going to take a picture, the answer is quite simple. i am a robot.




actually, if you look closely, you can see that i am holding a remote control presentation device, and i managed to "program" the remote to take a snapshot each time i pressed a certain trigger!

crafty!

this is the shit i'm thinking of, too...

when i finally get my time-lapse video out there, it'll be without the benefit of remote control devices or up-to-the-minute Mac software and stuff. just need a little time to myself, which has been hard to come by this last month...

sorry. mustn't whinge. have to credit 'bum-dot' for 100% of the inspiration.

look at me! i am crappy poofter dickcherry. i don't have a mac, so i make fun of them.

the stuff that i do with my low budget crappy pc is therefore more raw and grassroots, because i had to SUFFER to create my art.....


blah, blah, blah

thanks richy!


i got some other stuff i want to try out with the stop motion stuff, but i don't know if it will work out the way i have it envisioned....
