frankencam research log

foam model ready to be dipped in paint.  white model white paint but it should improve the texture and stop the polystyrene flaking all over the place.

another foam model. here you can see the raised viewfinder and angled cutaway for the shutter release. the near bottom corner is rounded to make using the lens easier.

the two models after a couple of dips in the paint. its quite a nice texture to hold.

some card shoe inserts i saw outside a shop on the way to college. going to try moulding a camera from it.

got some marker on it.

same one again. the join line around the camera is so heavy because i intend to have the internal chassis show through where the two halves of the camera meet.

soaking some of the shoe card in water. in the left are two halves of a foam camera to mould it onto.

went alright. ill see on monday when its dry. hard to work it without it just falling apart.

shot of the back of the camera. on the right is the thumbwheel for shutter speed. in the middle is a slide for iso. havent fully worked this out yet but if iso is just ramping up the gain the could that be controlled by a slide potentiometer? next is the white balance. daylight in the middle and one filter each side.
