Hmm, I like both of those, but my idea is/was closer to the first. Not to cast a
light, but to reflect an image: have a camera rigidly mounted (so the heavy
stuff doesn't need to move), with a rotating mirror at 45° in front of it on a
turntable (turntable facing the camera lens, not perpendicular to it). Depending
on how that mirror rotates you could look in various directions, sort of like a
lighthouse with a rotating mirror set above the lamp.



Sounds like an interesting idea.




Hey, it's winter down here and you folks north of the border keep sending down
cold fronts - what do you expect me to do, I'm going crazy down here and
seriously thinking about LEGO icebreakers/icecrawlers.


We keep sending down the cold fronts in direct proportion to the atmospherics we
get from the coal burning plants in Ohio
