I experimented with this about 5 years ago... It's the only object I've
done that was fixed to the ground.
Luckily, there were a number of street furniture items (bollards, different
coloured slabs) etc, that I was able to work out a pretty accurate position
for each of the shots... I think, if I remember correctly, I had a problem
with just 2 shots because of street furniture actually getting in the way of
the tripod or shot - but that was a better price to pay than having the
other shots taken with less precision.

You can tell how old the movie is - At the time, 512kb was a lot for people
to download!
The statue btw, is larger than life size... Not quite the statue of
liberty...
That's another funny thing isn't it - We get examples here of foggy Seattle
parks in the morning that look fantastic (try taking a photo in a park in
the UK and you'll either get arrested, beaten up, or make the local papers,
thanks to the political correctness brigade....)
It's amazing to VR's of other worldly places - but I'm struggling to think
of ANYTHING worth taking in my local area (anyone who has been or even heard
of Walsall will know what I mean)..... I was almost escorted from the
outside of Walsall's new "futuristic" bus terminal (I say futuristic, the
roof looks like a UFO from above...).
I was actually taking some photos of the front of the Church (which the bus
terminal almost invades - much too close), and I was asked to leave the
whole area.. Luckily, the guys boss told him to stop wasting his (and my)
time.. But that's what we're finding here - getting permission is incredibly
difficult, you think you're on 'public' property, then you find it's
actually private, and very camera shy... Probably thanks to the culture we
have now of everyone fearing a lawsuit if you so much as fart within 10 feet
of anyone.
Anyone else have any experiences with over-zealous jobsworths trying to
prevent photography in public places?

Subject: Object Movie without turning the object
Hi all !
I want to make an interactive feature about objects that are too big to put
on a turntable, beside the fact they are fixed to the ground. I saw some
experiments by moving the camera position around the object and making a
object movie out of that.
Does anyone has ideas or experience how to find proper positions so that the
movie turns out as smooth as possible.
The object can have the size of a person, not much bigger.
No, and I dont want to invest in these time freeze cameras ;-)
cheers
Sven
