…a collection of experiments focused on hardware, wiring and things, including seldom successes, occasional tears and burned fingers.

Part 1.4 – Supercharge motors to help them along.

Speeding up and slowing down is great and all, but can the platform move the camera along with itself?

Part 1.3 – Joystick control ain’t for the faint of heart.

Now we know how to walk, we can certainly try running. And by running we mean continously adjusting movement speed.

Part 1.2 – Click a switch, pan a platform.

Running would certainly be appreciated, but we found the hard way we have to start walking first.

Part 1.1 – How difficult can panning a camera be?

Should be simple, wouldn’t you think? Push a joystick and make the camera follow its movements.

Can we do it? Sure we can.

Maintaining that the wheel cannot be reinvented is as tired a cliché as the concept itself. But, what if the concept rings true?

Live Production? A Tangled Web.

Contrary to what we believed from the start, this could never have been easy. Of course we went in head on.

A person for each camera? We need a robot.

You record for posterity, document activities, accomplishments and accolades, and move on to add style in addition to substance.

Why do this? How does this fit with IDEA?

I guess it is the nature of the work that we do. We write for work. But we seldom write of things that happen, of things that are to happen.
