Mark-  I really enjoy your videos but are we seeing the effect of too much light in your workshop?  I see a lighted orb or possible ghost bellow your face in the video.  Oh, love your new workshop!

I noticed that too.  Couldn't tell if it was too much like or an issue with the sensor of the camera.

Yes - the light bulbs got reflected into the lens, I will watch out for that next time. Didn't think it would warrant recording the whole thing over again :)

Defiantly not.  Question - Did you do the animation yourself?  I hope you use it in the future for explaining complex things.

You could of just said your workshop is haunted.....  

 

Lol - indeed :)

 

The animation was a nice touch. I wouldn't have guessed it was done in Keynote.

 

I was surprised that Keynote had that as well. But it is very basic, you cannot set pivot points (so no good when I want to demonstrate the escapement). I might do it in flash next time or toonboom.

I haven't used Keynote for several years now so I haven't kept up to date with new features, but it has always been a very nice app. It's really blows Powerpoint out of the water.

 

As an alternative I would recommend Apple Motion, which is a bargain at $50. It has nifty things like linked behaviours which would be handy for movement simulations like the one you did in this video.

I am actually quite impressed with Keynote - almost zero learning curve, I found it very intuitive.

 

I have motion installed, never played with it - thanks for the recommend, I will check it out.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your new video series Mark.  Especially the fact that you're taking your time explaining everything in detail. 

Far too often, when I watch other YT Channels, the subject material is rushed, or edited so severely (for fear of loosing viewer interest), that important details are brushed over; or missed completely.  I'm glad to see you are not taking this approach with your channel. 

Thank you Mark, and keep'em coming mate :thumbsu:

Great video and as always thanks for recording. Really enjoyed it and learned some new info. Timing a watch is a really interesting subject as it is always a 50/50 decision for me to either just get it going and running reasonable, or try and improve it, with the risk of shagging it up. Can't wait for next instalment

      Been there. Worn that Tshirt.  'ping'. Hands and knees. Nothing. Nada. 20 minutes? Ha! I found it 7 month later. How? Well, after advice from a member, I invested in a £4 UV light torch.  Hands and knees looking for a 'ping' from a Sekonda, found them both within 30 seconds. UV makes the jewel shine. easy peasy. Could have taken longer. Just lucky on the location of the search. Hope this helps.

      Thanks Dell. I thought about silver soldering. Have never done it but would like to give it a go. Do you think to put flux on the butted joint then run the solder in or to maybe brace it with a piece of scrap spring steel?

      Never and others. Yes, like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. Clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross
