Re: The D-SLR Discussion

OK, I'm currently waiting for the release of DragonFrame, which they plan to release this week.

I have iStopmotion home, and want to animate on HD quality. iStopmotion Pro simply isn't an option due to the price.

Well, let's see what you come up with...

Re: The D-SLR Discussion

Bump!

Ordered my Canon EOS 550D today! Can't wait for it to arrive, I put all my money towards it and the extra money my parents have paid, it's an early christmas present. Need to update Dragon stop motion later, then I can start animating with it (probably not with lego unfortunately, but I'm starting a plasticene series very very soon!).
I'm really excited!

Re: The D-SLR Discussion

Me too, for you. mini/wink Heh. I'm waiting for my new camera too. To cristmas. mini/delirium

Re: The D-SLR Discussion

Congrats guys! Still saving for my Canon T3i. Just finished a large paint job today, so that should put quite a bit towards it.

Re: The D-SLR Discussion

I simply can't decide.

I'm saving up money, but I'm torn between an iPhone 4s or a Canon T2i.

Just watched your Halo video.  It was very well done.  Congrats on your Toymation placing.  Those MegaBloxs figures must be a nightmare to animate with all that articulation.

How did you build that set from the opening scene..?  Was that custom or part of the MegaBlox range.?

Again, great piece of work

Well, you can look at it this way: the iPhone also is a camera, but the T2i isn't also a phone. mini/lol

Truedat.

The iPhone has a decent camera, but the T2i blows it out of the water.

*Scream* I can't decide!

Re: The D-SLR Discussion

Onion found this the other day, and I thought it was really cool

Ok, so those of you who have a DSLR have probably at some point wanted to be able to use it as a webcam (for stuff like Skype, live shows, or standard stop motion software).  And after a short time, you find that the Canon live view signal isn't the same as a webcam signal.  If only there was some magical software that would somehow convert the Canon live view signal to a webcam signal.  Wait, there is?

Go ahead and head over to Extrawebcam.com.  It's an awesome little utility that'll turn you Canon live view signal into a webcam.  It's not free, but it only costs $9.95.

Get the camera.

Why have a phone when you could be brickfilming with a great camera?

BTW as stated before, If you buy the camera with the sole purpose of brickfilming, an older, used model of the Canon line will do. Myself, I got a used EOS 1000D, a bunch of old but very good functional lenses with adapter, extension tubes for definitely less than half of a T2i with (only) kitlens.

(The real financial "pain" for me went into DragonFrame.)

Re: The D-SLR Discussion

I say go ahead and buy the camera and get int photography or videography(and continue in brickfilming of course). Who knows...a phone might come for Christmas!

Re: The D-SLR Discussion

My town's city hall has a camera they use to film events.  My friend and I are working on a live action film at my school we are getting to use it!  The camera is something like 6,000 dollars US and it has 60 Megapixel photos!  I can't wait!

Re: The D-SLR Discussion

Wow! That sounds awesome! I really am going to try to make some films with my T3i when I get it. Photography and film is really why I'm getting it.

Re: The D-SLR Discussion

Stan, have you used extrawebcam? It looks useful, I'm just trying to do a little research before I pony up for it.
