Do not ever tell me I can't do something, including making %$#^&*$ commo
I got it working, OK? There are problems, but I'm attaching video from tonight assuming I can attach a file that big. First, the set-up. Let's start with the camera. Concealed in a birdhouse.

Bought a bunch of stuff and got the camera working in a tree above the sign. Here's a photo from where the sign is:

Zoomed in on the camera in this shot. You'll notice I had to cut away some branches to clear a path from the lens to the sign.

Here is some video. I made a much shorter video with some commentary and stuff, but it is an a format that won't play on Windows Media Player or RealPlayer.  So you get the long version.
You'll see that the angle is way too narrow. All you can see is the sign -- we won't see much of what happens to someone who touches it. I need to fix that problem.
This could have been webcast live tonight, but webmaster is on vacation. Yeah, that's an excuse, but I consider this thread to be commo made.

OK, who's got the Angry 8? Give it to RL along with a long-wire, some extra copper wire and some coconuts and put him on the seashore...

RL, do you need a place to put the video until Dan comes back?

Now all we have to do is to teach you how to size your photos to 720 width or less.
Consider putting some plexiglass in the birdhouse for protection of the camera, lest you have a much bigger loss than the sign.

Thread title a little premature? I am hearing that you have batteries in the radio and an antenna up, but I don't even hear white noise, much less the B Team.
Do not ever tell us you can do something, including making $&^%$#^&&^ commo, until you've made )(*)_*(*&_(*&_)(*&&^%%&% commo.
In other words, when WE have video, you can talk shit.

Is this akin to getting the catheter in the patient's arm bragging about how easy it was before you check to see if you have an IV bag with you?
Where is the video feed, Kali lawyer man?

Well actually I was thinking that if he is having problems with his production and shooting that perhaps we could send that famous war photographer out to hell him. I believe he is great with 8mm movie cameras, is a war hero, and can spin one hell of a yarn. I think you can get in touch with him thru the Heinz Corporation and while he is out helping you, the secret service can provide local surveillance on your sign.

Send away, I'm not out there, I'm at home. Don't be bitter.

Go for it , RL ! You're doing a great job !
(Can't help but think: As RL passes a brief to the judge while representing a client,
Judge: " Do I smell a skunk ?" )
