			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I have a small booklight for micro lighting, some Tape for fastening sets and some post-it notes for writing down how many frames I need, what movements to do and so on. I also rip off the sticky part on the notes and stick it on the booklight to make the light different colors. I just started doing this with my TCOTY Lives entry :)]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=rioforce]I have tac (blue and white), paintbrushes, helping hands (the most useful masking tool ever), a couple different types of flashlights (I guess that's considered to be in my toolbox, I use them for lighting mostly, but sometimes for searching for parts under the table). I don't use needle-nose plyers because they damage LEGO pieces, I always find a way around using them. I also keep a couple 1 pound weights around, but I haven't actually used them in animation yet, but they could be useful for holding down stuff.

I also keep clips around to hang backgrounds (Basically, I hung a posterboard with pushpins on the wall, and I clip my background posterboard to that). Of course, I always keep Sharpie markers, pencils, and rulers around. I also have some plastic-wrap around, but I never use it. I do keep foil and a few 8x10 canvas boards around to use as light reflectors, and they are extremely useful.

I have ton of other stuff, I just cannot recall it all right now.[/quote]

Rioforce, you are quite prepared.  I have a couple of helping hands as well and they are quite useful.  I have noticed some damage (scratching) from the needle-nose pliers, so perhaps plastic pliers would be a great addition to my tool box.  I could use some 1 pound weights too.  I have been using my roles of gaff tape to counter weight and support things.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I use a sturdy adjustable lamp for lighting. My animation software us Zu3D and the webcam doesn't have a name, as it was created especially for it. Each scene I animate I create into separate projects, because a lot of my scenes aren't filmed in the right order. After I convert them all into video files, I put them all together using Windows Live Movie Maker, and convert them into one film.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Well then, I have A Canon 2ti Dlsr and my lights consist of two small house lamps with fluorescent light bulbs and two huge softbox lamps [url]http://www.amazon.com/LimoStudio-Photography-Lighting-Equipment-AGG814/dp/B00E4YS2XU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1445488415&sr=8-1&keywords=softbox+lights[/url] That covers my lighting, also I have Dragonframe for animation and sony vegas 11 platinum for editing. The lens I have are the MIR-1B 2.8/37mm lens and the Micro-Nikkor 55mm F/2.8, I highly recommend them. I was recommend to them by some great animators, so its not just me who recommends them. That's pretty much all of my gear, at least the stuff I can remember.]]></content>

That's exactly what I was asking.  Nice tool box.   :)  I totally forgot the gaff tape that we use for securing our sets.   We also have a Microfiber for cleaning.]]></content>
