Video Scheme and Materials

Here is a simple diagram showing the video signal flow. Nothing too complicated here, but I wanted to get it posted for the next discussion so we have something to refer to.Also, here is a link to a materials breakdown.

Model Lighting Post 1

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share some examples of model lighting I am getting more interested in playing with for Dos Publos
Best, Chris K 

First,
Very small scale cold cathode type lamps. These lights are practically small scale neon. Sibyl and I are already starting to incorporate this into the model shots. They come in many colors.
Here are some pictures.




















Second,
Electroluminescent sheeting. EL, or electroluminescent  is essentially a flat light bulb sandwich consisting of layers of conductive and non-conductive plastic, a voltage is applied between the two conductive layers it emits light energy.
Here are an example.
