Hi folks,

Here's something fun to check out:

http://peach.mie.utoronto.ca/people/tsangc/nglcl/demorend.mpg
(5MByte, MPEG1)

I videotaped myself building a factory building in my train3 layout for
about 30 minutes (I could only find a blank 60 minute Hi8 tape, which
equates out to 30 minutes of Digital8).  I then found an old Sony VTR remote
and used the 2x function, which they've left in the camera without a button
on the outside.  So I played back the 30 minutes as 15 minutes, already
doubled into the machine.  (Pinnacle Systems DC30Plus MotionJPEG NLE card)
In Premiere, I then sped the clip up by 3000%, reducing the clip to 30
seconds.  I rerendered to hardware MJPEG, then rerendered to Cinepak, then
into MPEG1 encoding.  It's been encoded in very low resolution MPEG1,
there's a lot of compression artifacting going on.

I intend to keep taping myself building this factory, from different
perspectives.   A lot of the time in this clip was devoted to positioning
the building as per rtlToronto requirements-the sheet of paper you see me
making marks and drawings on is a printout of Derek Raycraft's clearance
needs for his GO Train model.  I'll get closeups of the bin of pieces, the
walls going up etc.  Enjoy.

(...) Nice, Calum. Tempts me to put my S100 on a stand in low rez mode and shoot 64MB of frames one every 10 seconds or so :) I'll have to build the furniture store that way... Jeff E (23 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
