    @Aleh + @DugaldIC - here you go! (Beer avaliable upon request)

    This is My simple, manual, camera rollers for mid-size DSLRs. Feel free to build off of it, or to use it as you like. I am documenting it now, as the Porche tires are far to valuable to be sitting on a camera roller! The video isn't anything fancy, and excuse the quality of the photo, it was taken with a camcorder.... (I shot the video in 1080p, exported it from adobe in 720p, and it appears to be on youtube at 480p. I apologize for the quality ) Photo-

    I suppose you could decrease the energy needed, but as previously stated, you would need at least some outside input.

    As I said, the seats need to be lower, preferably only one or two studs above the bottom of the chassis. I think this wouldn't be too hard.

    Physically impossible, unless your jaw was being influenced by an outside force, or the muscles around your jaw had been modified or stimulated in such a way that they could perform the action of lowering your jaw faster then its usual rate. At the most, I could get my jaw moving at 20 miles per hour. that pretty fast, (for a jaw, but not space shuttle speed)... (I analysed a test video). Just Kidding. (The stats are true, though...

    Incredible. Bravo.

    True. I probably wouldn't buy a lens purely for Lego purposes though, and I was making suggesting for purely purchasing a lens to use with Lego partite, as 50mm is a good focal length. F/16? You must use a long exposure.

    If you can, try to mKe the seats lower. Also, in. A model of this size I think you could quite easily fit independent suspensions. The gearbox looks good, but you have a lot of wasted space between the chassis and the wheels. You could add a high/low switch to make your gearbox eight speeds, or some other contraption. 'Good start!

    First, great Renders! Interesting idea! I look forward to more progress in this field.

    Wow! It is almost perfect!

    True, in some cases I couldn't live without my 55-250 and my 70-300. A prime is only useful in portrait style photography where you have time for framing, or in events where the camera location is carefully set out head of time, and you don't need that versatility. With all things, there is advantages and disadvantages.

    Hmmm...as a general rule of thumb, prime lenses (Or "fixed" lenses) have a wider maximum aperture, or iris, then the equivalent focal length on a zoom lens. This is huge when shooting video, and many blockbuster films still rely primarily on prime lenses for this reason. For those of you who are not into photography, an example would be that my zoom lens at 50 mm has an iris (aperture) of f/4, (some light being let in) while my prime at 50 mm has an iris of f/1.4 (a tonne of light being let in) . This is a HUGE difference. Youc can see in the picture below, the zoom lens is on the top, the prime is on the bottom. they are both set to their widest aperture. You can see how much more light the prime would let in. Also, many prime lenses are known for having better image quality then the zoom lenses with equivalent focal lengths in the same price range, in terms of sharpness. this is partly because of the fact that the money you are spending is going towards better glass, and not a zoom mechanism. The supposed disadvantage of primes is that they are inconvenient, but I think that having to move closer or farther away will force you to think more about composition and framing, rather than merely pointing and shooting!

    LOVE the door area. Fantastic Progress.
  14. Myers Lego Technic
    Same! I am enjoying it- a powerful editing tool.
  15. Myers Lego Technic
    To bad! I look forward to the new Moc!
  16. Myers Lego Technic
    Heer heer!

    Reminds me of the time my boss told me I was being considered for a promotion....
  18. Myers Lego Technic
    Scrapyard crane! I can see great things in the future.
  19. Myers Lego Technic
    I totally agree, the rendering takes a long time even at lower resolution.

    I see your point - I hadn't considered 4K TVs. Nonetheless, most people will likely be watching your videos on monitors or personal electronic devices. Even so, can you see the difference from a normal viewing distance? As cNet states, can you notice the individual grains of sand in a beach from ten feet away? I can certainly see shooting in 4K for cinemas, and extremely large TVs. I can also see shooting in 4K then condensing it to 1080p. Personally, I am an advocate in the belief that 4K and such resolutions are included in devices purely because companies can. Apple has stated that the iPhone seven will be able to shoot video in 4K- when it only has a resolution 750 x 1334 pixels. In my opinion, it is not an excessive pixel count but the lens quality that makes a video crisp and clean- 1080 or even 720p could appear as good if not better then 4K if you used a superior lens. BTW, nice MOC.
  21. Myers Lego Technic
    Interesting! Very similar to my setup, except I shoot in 1080p and with a cannon. If it isn't to off topic, why 4K? I work in a cinema and our projector shoots 2K video onto a very large screen, and it appears very High definition. Why do you chose to shoot in near to twice the pixel density for screens near a hundredth of the size?
  22. Myers Lego Technic
    At 2.35 in the video, you break the wheel arch when depressing the suspension. Us people with OCD are tearing their hair out here. As as a matter of interest, what camera are you using?
  23. Myers Lego Technic
    I completely agree with you. Have you tried blender @DamonMM2000 ? It might take some getting used to but you aren't going to be getting those blaringingly obvious adds...
  24. Myers Lego Technic
    As to your question about resizing, if you are using bricksafe then delete your current image then insert a link of one of the smaller pictures that's you want to use. I have. Had to do this quite a bit.........

    I would estimate that I have some 20 to 30 thousand spare Technic elements lying around at any given time.
