Teleprompter Project Under Way...

Okay, so I have had some progress.  I was able to locate beam splitter glass right here in lovely downtown Gastonia.  (Thank you Dixie Glass!)  I purchased a custom-cut 15X15 plate just a few minutes ago and not it is on to the design.  The project will consist of this 15X15 glass a custom-built frame, an old Dell laptop running Kubuntu Linux and some software.  I will be designing today (which will probably include me picking the brain of my friend Tim - "the idea man") and will start posting info in the next day or so.  I am excited.  There is a new DVD project that I am putting together for the church and this will come in very handy!  Talk to you soon!

Update...

Well, the arm is done (yeah right - there is always a mod in my head) and I will have pictures of the car carrier I built for it soon enough. I am now updating the blog on upcoming projects that are in the works.

* Thrill Cam - A safe housing for waterproof and safety filming in heavy weather situations
* Teleprompter - Using Open Source (= Free or there about) software, fabric and 2 way mirror
* Green Screen Lighting rig - Self explanatory
* Sound Room - For Voice over and maybe even foley work
* Dollies and Rail Cams

These are a few of my favorite things... Talk to you soon!
