Film maker needs help!
Hey guys,
So I'm an experimental a 21 year old film maker. Basically I try to innovate with film and perception which is how I won the Sheridan College Media arts award for experimental film making last year (this is however why I'm expected to make something great this year).
My latest notion is in spinning camera's. If a camera is spinning (attached to the end of a drill let say) you get a blur but because I'm an animator I'm familiar with the persistence of vision. This is a frequent DIYS project (persistence of vision clocks) from what I can tell.
I need to create a very simple 5 or 6 led light that, when a camera is spinning in front of it, will display what ever I wish (text, images, ect). So instead of the lights spinning the camera is. Obviously more LED's the more complicated it can be.
Now... I don't know where to begin with my questions. Could I pay you to create user friendly software and hardware? Are you willing to help for recognition purposes? Can you only make software? Can you only make hardware? Where do I begin to inquire?
I guess this project is for those who are interested in innovation more than anything... I really need a community of friends on this one :(

How about spinning steadily but having actors and props move to compensate, like wrong-way escalator-ing?
A revolving-dance-floor is what you'd need...

Flowing movement with some blur, and sharp-focus in the foreground gives you more to work with.
