Do you work on projects and want to share them with the world in video? In this class Bre Pettis will cover the basics of using video to document and share your project and get you started shooting, editing, exporting, and publishing your own videos. If you’ve never done any video work or know the basics, but want to learn some tips and tricks, this is the class for you! If you have some experience with video, but want to get tips and tricks for publishing to the internet, this will also be a good class for you! We’ll make a video together in class so you can see the process of making and publishing a video first hand.

I had to do it… couldn’t resist(or). Now I have an iPhone with a pseudo game of Space Invaders on the back… Special thanks to Phil Torrone and Ladyada for letting me use the laser etcher 3000.

My good friend Chris McDonald made this extra-great, 2-axis drawing machine for doing time-lapse photography.

Here’s the info from his personal website vanita phone company: 

Gertrude uses two stepper motors to move an LED in a very high resolution x/y plane. The movement of the LED is photographed using exposures usually between 30 and 90 seconds. Gertrude can either be programmed to “print” a design automatically (“Christopher & Daniil”, the Hell Yup!: Scanlines shots) or controlled live via a joystick (Open&Close portrait series). 

II: Christopher & Daniil not talking (pt. 2 in a series of 2)
