Working on the same thing myself. I bought a wireless min-cam that is set up to go into my computer. At present I am experiencing lighting problems with any footage. Even though the camera is rated at 2 LUX all of my footage is so dark its worthless. Might try either super lighting the room from overhead, or rigging up some type of lighting on the cam car I built to solve the problem. All I need is more time to play..

I cant find the web sight I was looking at previously, but the footage the guys had posted of their club layout somewhere in England was quite impressive. Interested in any experiences out there too. Good luck

Hello CBQ_Guy

Checked out your link. Impressive!

Looks like Joe Fugate is going to give Allen Keller productions competition. I do hope though that he has some type of urban scenery as well since this is my area of interest.

My LHS rep will usually order a video or two from a series and play them for the customers. Good sales generator! I'm looking forward to seeing some of Joe's work.

Cheers![:D]

Joe has recently set up a Yahoo group for discussing the videos and layout at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/siskiyouline/?yguid=154581698

You don't have to join to be able to read the messages, etc.


Also, the layout has a website at:

Enjoy!
