Skinny Boy Posted August 9, 2008 I was just syncing a load of Neil Young albums onto my iPod, and I remembered seeing Skipper 24's case for his bigger one, and I thought about Lego tv. I mean a couple of black bricks and a sticker is kinda weird so all I did was make a holding area for my nano: It will soon be incorporated into a wall in the back room of a restaurant I am making. To show it works: Neil Young 4999 Vestas Promo. Gallery with instructions. This is now a good chance to make a newsroom. Thanks for Looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meschepers Posted August 9, 2008 That is a really neat idea. I personally don't have an iPod of any kind (I'm a Zen man myself) but this is a creative way to make use of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skinny Boy Posted August 9, 2008 Creative and cool.Not that it matters, I don't have one either. Oh. I hope it doesnt seem like I'm bragging. I wonder if anyone has done this before. I'm rarely the guy who comes up with stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tin7_creations Posted August 9, 2008 great use. very creative. i can imagine a big screen tv in my lego living room... that is of course, when I actually do manage to get an ipod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Brick Posted August 9, 2008 That is a really neat idea. I personally don't have an iPod of any kind (I'm a Zen man myself) but this is a creative way to make use of it. I'm ZEN to! And I to have pictures of 4999 on it! Great MOC! Dr. Brick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brainbox Posted August 9, 2008 Oh. I hope it doesnt seem like I'm bragging. Nah, it's not that. I'm just living in the 1960s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny Boy Posted August 10, 2008 Nah, it's not that. I'm just living in the 1960s. Groovy. Anyone have any ideas on how I could film the ipod playing a show in a brickfilm? Imagine there is a meeting in the tv room, and someone puts on the news or something. Anyone know how I could make a stop motion clip of the people watching it and somehow have a video on the screen. Maybe I could put one pic at a time on the screen and take a pic of that or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper 24 Posted August 11, 2008 Anyone have any ideas on how I could film the ipod playing a show in a brickfilm?

Maybe I could put one pic at a time on the screen and take a pic of that or something. Thanks for the idea I might do a few tests with methods on how to do that. I am going to try having a series of pics and each time just change the pic on every frame I take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Green Hair Posted August 11, 2008 That's a pretty neat idea! This could also be done with most modern cellphones and such i think an Ipod isn't the only gadget that can show films and / or music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny Boy Posted August 11, 2008 Thanks for the idea I might do a few tests with methods on how to do that. I am going to try having a series of pics and each time just change the pic on every frame I take. Good. The more people trying, the better the result, as they say... That's a pretty neat idea! This could also be done with most modern cellphones and such i think an Ipod isn't the only gadget that can show films and / or music. Exactly. I just thought of the nano as having a perfect screen size for a large screen tv. I wonder if anyone here has an iPhone, The iPod Touch or some bigger thing and would try making a cinema. That would be worth seeing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Col. Thok Posted August 11, 2008 Very nicely done! I shall have to try this, as I have an iPod; for that matter, I could try using my iPhone (advance birthday present! ) as a movie screen. Thanks for the ideas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the ideas! Thanks. If you do try it, please post the result, either a pic or your description would be good. My friend has the iPod touch, I might ask him if I could use it as a test.

Captain Green Hair Posted August 11, 2008 A playstation portable might also make a nice theater screen... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny Boy Posted August 12, 2008 A playstation portable might also make a nice theater screen... Actually, that would be better for a theater screen as they are easier to use cos of all the buttons. I really hope someone makes one now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skinny Boy Posted May 29, 2009 Before the last post in this thread can become a baby, I was able to get my hands on a digital photo frame. Of course I didn't buy one, a relative lent it to me, for one reason, and one reason only. The Big Screen: For once, the camera took of ten pounds inches Yes, this will be perfected. Oh, and some of you will see this again, very soon. :skull: Thanks for looking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted May 30, 2009 is that the 3G one? because it looks like that is the only one that will actually look like a tv. the video and touch could work but itll be too big Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
