Danger's dashings: December 2005

Christmas Eve Service

It was cool, liturgical. Nice to have a formal way of remembering what Christmas is all about.

I was up till 5 am working on the new 3D camera rig.
It will probably made of aluminum (the frame so far is)

Pending experimentation, I think it'll work out REALLY COOL!

You see; there were 2 phases, first was a proof of concept that was pretty simple in construction, but probably wouldn't work well due to problems with image perspective.
I think phase one would have too much of a trapezoidal effect, which would have to be corrected digitally to make still pictures, and I lack the video editing software to accurately correct video.

Phase 2 is a much more complex design. It'll take longer to build, but, if my initial calculations (more like imaginations) are correct, it won't have the perspective problems!

Next project

I've already done 3D (stereographic) still pictures

Next experiments are:

3D QTVR Panoramas: I think this is possible, though the 3D effect might not be that impressive in the wide-angle format

3D movies: Eventually leading to short films? I have yet to create the 3D rig to attach to my camera, which would also make 3D stills easier to make. BUT! when this is done, it will be so cool you will all pee your pants

Winter is mating season?

Notice they're never just a pair anymore.. tsk tsk, nature has gone awry.

Found these at Wal*Mart

Found these in a front yard while driving around last night

Pizza give-away

Going into the bars is far more interesting and impactful than just giving away pizza outside the bars.

We met so many cool people. And, having just spent a lot of time in one of these bars over the last month or two.... I met more people tonight giving away pizza than I did playing darts and hanging out there...
