Rigatoni
The tower sequence is done! Took care of the last little shots and elements that were needed, mainly some more robot shots. Spent some time rigging the robot in a different way than I have before...no wires this time. It's going to mean spending a few hours painting out the supports, but it gave me a solid control system. Now it's time to take everything down and switch over to set building mode. I'm going out monday morning to buy a section of that big cardboard tube that is used to form concrete pillars. That will form the basis for a set I'm calling the "Access Shaft". More to come....

Hey Ethan! Fun blog, your project looks very cool. Tennessee Reid Norton suggested via email that I contact you. I have a tech. question about the Minolta Dimage line of DSLRs, that I understand you use(d) on Moral Orel and Robot Chicken. Here we go- When you capture the low-rez live feed frame into Frame Thief (while also taking the hi-rez), what quality is that low-rez images? Is it good enough to guide you for eyelines, detailed facial expressions, that sort of thing?
I am shopping for this camera (possibly) for my own thesis project when I start grad school (tomorrow), but I am also posting all my findings on a Dimage thread at sma.com, so as to share all my findings with everyone out there.
Any help would be great! You can contact me via my website, or at chriswalsh@rogers.com.
Thanks a lot!
Chris.
Hey Ethan! I tried to reply to your email, but it kept bouncing back.
Anyway, thanks so much for the feedback, I am doing KA-RAY_ZEE amounts of research before I buy, and the Dimage is looking like the one for me. I am actually looking at the Z3, which is only 4 mpixels, but more than enough for me...
Thanks again, and I will post your feedback on the Dimage thread at sma.com
Cheers,
Chris.
Ethan,
I really like the robot, cool rig using a rotary table
It looks sweet.
Mark
Thanks Mark! That rotary table has been useful for so many things- a great item to have around.
