No. I was talking about accidentally kicking the lamp causing it to topple over to his table and smash his set into little pieces :|  . Luckily he said it has never happened. :P

Oh and I looked that squids setup image again and it would need rather powerful kick to do unintentionally. :lol:]]></content>

The legs of the mini table are made out of Duplo blocks so the the height can be adjusted for its relation to the tri-pod.  The topmost blocks have actually been screwed in to the mini table itself.

Another thing which would also be good is to use Encyclopedias.]]></content>

Nice animation, but the tests I were most impressed by were the lighting ones, they looked really nice.

Also, what desk is that, I was thinking of getting a tripod for a camera and that desk looks useful to a dilemma I was in over it.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=jampot]What does your animation setup look like? *any chance of some pictures pweeez?* I'm intrigued by the concept of animating on the floor.[/quote]

You misunderstand.  I animate on a table, but I have really big lamps which rest on the floor.

[img]https://scontent-a-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash2/s720x720/205349_426017100754971_95380493_n.jpg[/img]

This is actually my old studio, so the ceiling of my new one is much more roomy, but I still have the lamps and table.  I probably should take some pictures of my new one, but it looks mostly like this.

Though, Before I am the Night I DID animate on the floor, although it was a very clean floor.  This, however, was a horrible thing to do.  You can't duck under a table when you take a frame to avoid reflection flickering.  This is common in Bank and all of the films before that where I sat uncomfortably on the floor, which really hurt after a while.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=END films]How did you do the night lighting?[/quote]

My lighting setup remained the same for both day and night.  I have two large floor dish lamps pointed at the ceiling with some daylight blue bulbs.  To make it look like night, I changed the backdrop and messed with my setting on my camera.  I just made sure that it absorbed less light and I changed the white balance to give it a more blueish hue.  For the last two shots, I realized that I should also set the camera to be less saturated, which I think improved the look.]]></content>
