Toyaanisqatsi: time lapse control using LEGO parts
Wednesday, September 23, 2009
A simple panning motion can add impact to the already-dramatic effect of time lapse photography. To accomplish this, frugal cinematographers sometimes build [Rube Goldberg] contraptions from clock motors, VCR parts or telescope tracking mounts. Hack a Day reader [Stephan Martin] has assembled a clever bargain-basement system using an Arduino-driven stepper motor and a reduction gear system built up from LEGO Technic parts, along with some Processing code on a host PC to direct the show.
While the photography is a bit crude (using just a webcam), [Stephan’s] underlying motion control setup might interest budding filmmakers with [Ron Fricke] aspirations but Top Ramen budgets. What’s more, unlike rigid clock motor approaches, software control of the camera mount has the potential for some interesting non-linear, fluid movements.

Yeah, 1kb IS 1000 bytes. 1kib is 1024 bytes. Apple is actually correcting a mistake. Operating Systems have been using the units kb, mb, and gb incorrectly for years. They should have actually been using kib, mib, and gib.
But instead of changes the units, Apple kept the same units and just put the correct values.
For consistency, they probably should’ve just changed the units so the numbers would be the same, but Apple isn’t doing anything wrong.
