Thanks, the camera we shot Robot Turkey with was a digital still cam (it was shot at 1024x768 and resized to 720x480), which you cannot get a preview to a framegrabber with which is why the set up is the way it is. This movie was just shot on a reguler webcam becouse it was made for the "Twenty-four Hour Animation Contest" over at www.brickfilms.com it takes a bit more work to shoot on the digital still and one of the funtions of our turkey film was to test the iD Shot, sometime next year we hope to finish a clay stopmotion that will be in high definition shot on the same camera, some pro-level indie stopmotion animators shoot at 8 mega pixels so the transfer to film will be great, but that is beyond my means.

I love your lego shorts. YOu guys do a great job with that stop motion stuff! The organ rhythm worked perfectly and it flowed well. I give you a 4/5 for a very solid film (definate audio improvement over robot turkey..lol) I have a quick question. The camera you are using (as shown in the robot turkey messages), is it a digital still shot camera, or a video camera? Definately an interesting looking piece of hardware and I like your setup. Some day, I am going to upgrade from my cheapo $370 samsung video camera to something in the prosumer market so my films look and sound better. Again, thanks for sharing you work with all of us. I definately enjoyed it. Gary Unified Studio Productions

Thanks man, Brian is really awesome at making those old organ sound tracks, this movie was a quicky for us and only took about 14 hours. Hopefuly you'll see more fun stop-mo from us in the future.
