Dan, actually I gave you quicktime movies(.mov) that were assembled with
Quicktime Pro. I had tried a piece of shareware(AVI Constructor Kit???) to
produce avi's that looked good, except for the banner it places in the
middle
of the frame(1). Pressing the shutter switch on the digital camera caused
a lot of the vibration that you see in the movie. I have an idea for a
pneumatic or mindstorms powered actuator which should take care of a lot of
the vibration. As far as using a camercorder for animation, I did a lot
of this
in high school, we mainly used a Sony CCD-V801, that had 5 frame a second
interval. There were lots of problems of the tape rewinding to far on a
shot
and losing some of the frames. Newer camcorders might have eliminated the
problem and I'm almost sure the digital ones have.
I'll write up some more on techniques in a few days...
I'm still looking for a good editing system for animation. Does anyone
have
any experience with any of them?
