High Speed Changer (errrr Sound Trigger)

**timsdd** · Jan 14th, 2008, 6:22 pm

High Speed Changer of course being an Orange 9mm song.

Once again, my musical tastes: :scool:

But that's not why I brought you here today.

Check out some pictures from my new sound trigger! Sound trigger being a circuit that activates your flash after a sound...a clap (not the clap thank goodness), snapping your fingers, something dropping, breaking, etc.)

alphabet pasta:

obviously a WIP (work in progress) but I am excited about the possibilities!

**timsdd** · Jan 16th, 2008, 7:57 pm

I found a way to fix the unbreakable cd/dvd problem...just score them with a razor blade!!

timsdd added 3 Minutes and 40 Seconds later...

is it live?

or is it MEMOREX!!!!!!!!

timsdd added 2 Minutes and 25 Seconds later...

I said BOOM!

**Red Hot Mama** · Jan 16th, 2008, 7:58 pm

Hard to tell what that last one is... I assume it's your razor-scored CDs....

I can just hear your daughter... "Daddy, can I have my crayons back now???"

So does that mean that Timmy can't come out to play?

How is your wife doing? Getting close to the end, she's got to be REALLY miserable now...

**timsdd** · Jan 20th, 2008, 12:36 pm

I made a a-gif of it too

**timsdd** · Jan 26th, 2008, 8:25 am

These are shot with a single off camera flash that is to the right of the camera.

I've shot some since with 2 flashes, one on either side - seems to stop the action of the balloons a little better, haven't tried with cd's yet

**timsdd** · Jan 28th, 2008, 2:42 pm

2 more balloons...surprised my daughter has not inquired to the increasingly diminishing numbers of them, throughout the house!!

**timsdd** · Jan 31st, 2008, 10:41 am

more balloons! hey, I bought some glitter the other day @ Wally World...that'll be fun to load the balloons and see what happens...then of course I need to try ones filled with water @ some point!!

DejaVu!

**timsdd** · May 28th, 2008, 8:38 pm

down and dirty with the paint!

timsdd added 516 Minutes and 19 Seconds later...

I got smart, I went and bought a big bin for all the glass to land in (well most of it).

I need to take a picture of the studio now and show all the carnage!!
