pasitheaYesterday morning Marty finally called me back and said he'd made arrangements to get the new compound for DeAnza. It's a rather small animation setup but it looks pretty nifty and it was free. We're told it was used by the guys who did Crusader Rabbit but not for the Crusader Rabbit project (as this stand was made int he 1960s) Anyhow. It's that blue painted steel like my Manfield 16mm film splicer. I'm really looking forward to being able to use it.
In addition, I got to do something I've wanted to do for MONTHS... ... CLEAN the animation lab. Since we needed a space for the compound we had to move some of the floor-to-ceiling piled junk. Felt REALLY good! I've been aching to clean that place for months.
Anyhow, I teasingly told Marty that if he ran across another donation that I'd like my own. He said he might know of another compound somewhere in the bay area here, and new of a full Oxford desk I could have if I wanted to go to Indiana to get it. (Only weighs about 1 ton... Hmm. Worth considering. :) ... I probably need something smaller. I guess really I can do all the work on the computer. I just lke having/using the old equipment. It's kinda funny. I guess I'm a very iconic creature. I perform better when I dress the part for what I'm doing.
Speaking of which, I'd better get dressed! I need to go do some filming for Roon
PS: After playing with an Alan Gordon Magna-bar disk in the lab yesterday I'm happier about not winning that e-bay auction. That one looked sturdier and the AG ones are made of aluminum but it was REALLY inferiour to my Chroma.
