Re: [Frameworks] Oxberry Master Series Animation stand (model 5442) assembly
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.

Re: [Frameworks] Oxberry Master Series Animation stand (model 5442) assembly
Ruth (all): Over here at Bennington College, ours is outfitted for 35mm and 16mm. It also still has (what appears to be) a fully functioning stepper motor. We're also hoping to outfit ours for a DSLR (or whatever future digital cameras are best for stop motion) and I'm definitely hoping to make it an interchangeable system. I've been reading about folks integrating homemade step motors with Dragon Frame using Arduinos. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has a fully functional Oxberry, with DSLR, and an integrated with Dragon Frame. I'm much more excited about the film possibilities but I know we'll need this to work digitally for practical purposes. I'll probably try to visit USC when I'm in Los Angles in April. I also plan to contact MassArt to look at theirs the next time I'm in Boston. When Jodie Mack gets back to Dartmouth, I'll make the short trip over there too to see what they've got. But I have a feeling this one is probably a bigger model than Dartmouth and MassArt's -- I think MassArt has the Filmmaker series rather than the double-pole master series that we have. I'm sure there are some folks on this list that have worked with this exact machine when it was at the Atlantic Filmmaker's Coop, We're still assembling it (sort of blindly). I don't expect it to be fully functional until the fall. If I don't figure it all out before the fiscal year rolls over here this summer, we'll probably be looking to work with a technician sometime in late summer. DIY until then all the best, Warren On Sat, Feb 8, 2014 at 12:57 PM, Ruth Hayes randomr...@comcast.net wrote: Yes, that is Evergreen's Oxberry manual, adapted for our particular machine.
