    Re: "2001: A Lego Odyssey" - A New Lego Movie! —Marc Atkin
   I used a Sony MiniDV digital camcorder with a firewire connection to a Mac (Powerbook G3 400 Mhz), iMovie 2 to capture frames, Final Cut Pro to edit the movie (Final Cut Pro can't capture directly from the camera - how annoying!), and Photoshop to (...)

   (...) Well I know from movies the screens are a special fabric and theye are very large and usually quite some distance from the subject.
