3D camera rig

picture

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!
