 | | Nikon 880 and making movies
|
|
I need some help. I have a Coolpix 880 and would like to try making a movie of my trains, but I have no experience, just stills. If anyone tried it using the 880 could you give me some do's and don'ts. Oh, I'm using a 32MB card if that's any help? (...)

(...) What I am about to say is NOT legal advice. However: I'd say, if you can do it go ahead. TLC has shown themselves to be very reasonable in the past, and if they have a problem with it, history tells us they will contact you and ask that it be (...)

(...) I've seen him give out some advice before, oh well. I'll most likely put the video up. If Lego has a problem with it, I'll take it down. -- Genekinesis Technologies (URL) (24 years ago, 21-Jan-01, to lugnet.animation)

(...) It's made by the Lego Group, copyrighted in 1989. Oh, I also can't find the box for it, only the video itself. =( (...) Maybe I'll email Todd or he'll find this post. -- Genekinesis Technologies (URL) (24 years ago, 21-Jan-01, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.general)

(...) Is it actually made by Lego, or by someone else? (...) Stuff like this is copyright grey area. Personally, I'd probably do it unless explicitly asked not to. But as Todd Lehman likes to remind me, I'm not giving legal advice. :) (24 years ago, 20-Jan-01, to lugnet.animation)

I have this old Lego video. It's a stop animation video featuring several little stories. I think it's called "LEGO Stories." It's extremely rare (as far as I know), and I was wondering if the Lego company would get mad at me if I turned it into an (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jan-01, to lugnet.animation)
