Yes, that is Evergreen's Oxberry manual, adapted for our particular machine. It's currently under a dust cover, protected from a remodel that worked around it, and waiting for a retrofit so we can mount a DSLR on it. The current set-up has a 16mm Mitchell camera and Spectrum Motion Control system running on a very old PC with MS DOS. We will remove the old computer system and hopefully put in stepper motors with a more manual control similar to what it had originally. I had the opportunity to look at the Oxberrys at USC last June that have DSLRs on them, but can also be converted back to film if that's what a student wants to shoot. We support 16mm production in the media curriculum, so that's likely.
I'd appreciate hearing from others who are messing around with retrofitting animation stands, particularly Oxberrys.
