Hmm, vimeo videos aren't loading for me anymore. Just getting a black box where the video should be. Have they done a recent upgrade? Do I need to update flash or something?
I am trying to raise some funds to finish developing, last task is to try lens coating. If you want to help donate a small amount at http://www.apefos.com thanks
Hi, the Apefoscope second unit is for sale on ebay. It was used by me to do tests. From now the next units will be offered for donors first. It is buy it now, so first bid will get it.
I am working in the lens coating tests.
The Indiegogo campaign raised 228 usd until now. It needs 272 usd to reach the 500 usd goal. Please, consider a 10 usd small donation to help the project, if each people on vimeo interested on the adapter do this small donation the goal will be successful. It is just 6 days to the deadline. http://www.indiegogo.com/apefoscope
Interesting project. But to me it seems more like an effects "filter" than something I would like to film a whole movie with. Maybe the coated version will be better.But impressive nonetheless.
Well, this is actually understandable since this apparently seems to be a prototype. If you want something perfect, better wait for the production units, and pay accordingly I guess.
a pen to describe the peoples face inside the bus in the way to work... each expression, the sadness in the eyes due to life is not the way they would like it to be... the lines drawn in their face by the bus motor noise everyday hurting their ears made to listen birds singing...
a pen to expose my emotions when everybody tells me to hide them...
I would like to downgrade my pen sometimes for a pen-cil to have the option to rub the paper vigorously after write a mistake in my life, erase the missed opportunity and rewrite it into an orgasm of happiness
I would like to have a pen-is not to cum for porn dreaming about girls I will never have, but a pen-is to write in my girlfriend's skin how much my heart pulses for her... hoping the ink cum would last forever... just like a tattoo...
I would like to have the courage to exchange my beloved DSLR for a hacked pen in which the ink would be automatic multicolored changing taking into account the the meaning hidden between the text lines...
I would like to have a pen which could draw a movie in an electronic paper to avoid me the hard work to turn my ideas into a feature film and this way I could celebrate my sinful sloth
I would like my pen to be a sharp knife to hurt the film emulsion just as the film emulsion sometimes hurt us and make us cry inside the movie theater... and this way my sharp knife pen would write the story direct into movie images just like Norman McLaren did.
I would like to have a pen and some pieces of paper to make this writing task my lonely work to avoid the need to beg people to help me mainly when my sweaty money is not enough to pay for their willing
I would like to have a pen to tell how much Mary waits for John everyday in the bus station twisting her hopes for he to stop just looking and take the action
So my pen could tell that John can't imagine Mary looking to her mirror to perceive if her beauty is enough to make him overcome his shyness and make the move
And my pen would find the words to make people imagine that mid age woman with her shining eyes in a hopping face when she sees the young lawyer inside his black suit up the bus stairs and stand by an old washed out advertising of the Nothing Hill movie.
My pen would have the power to describe the angels taking care of us hidden against the sunlight in the sky where the DSLR poor dynamic range could never see them... and they just laugh about the joke God always do not giving each one of us our operating instructions when we was born
So my pen could write the second life many people would like to have forgiven the beloved partner instead of breaking up...
I hope my dreamy pen do not stop taking the virginity of paper and makes me more happy than my never perfect DSLR
and I also hope I do not upgrade my pen into other tools to avoid turning myself into a forum member to discuss voice recorders, computer keyboards, writing softwares and printers.
