Hi Guys,
Thank you for your kind comments...
To answer a couple of your questions:
Time and making the movie:
To make a movie like this is very easy. Got the idea way back when I saw the making of the Airbus 380 on the Discovery channel, they used slow stop animations. I have about 500 odd photos, so that translates in 1 photo every 2 hours so far. One photo every 2 hours is not a lot. I have bought a 2 cheap digital cameras. The one I have mounted on simple L bracket that I can screw down around fixed locations in the garage. The other digicam is on a simple tripod. When I think I need a shot I just move the tools out the way, walk up to the camera and press the button.
After a long time, you have enough photos to make it worthwhile. I download and sort the photos at work every week. I simply used Microsoft Movie Maker and literally within 4 hours on a long slow day at work 2 days ago made the movie. Movie Maker comes free with Widows XP. I guess 1% of the 1000 Hours was taking pictures. The sorting and movie making does not count since I do it in free time during lunch at work. It is my first build so I know I'm building slow, everyone does the first time...
The Shop so clean:
I build in the main garage and have most of the tools in the small hobby room right next to the garage. You can see the hobby room in some of the footage. Almost every night I pack the tools away. Every second day the garage also gets cleaned while I am at work. I typically I take a picture of the overall progress before I pack out the tools, while the garage is still clean and uncluttered with tools.
I am glad you guys enjoyed it. Feel free to distribute it.
PS: Jeff spotted a spelling mistake at 2:57 I'll fix it later the week and upload it again.
Kind Regards
Rudi
