Step 2Set Everything Up
So set up the whiteboard on a table. Tape it down with double sided tape wo it won't shift while you draw and erase on it.
Mount the usb camera above it in a stable position. It's best to make some sort of mount that you can keep in place permanently, or at least for the time that it takes you to do your animation. If it gets shifted in reference to the whiteboard, it's annoying to reposition it to the exact same position, and then your animation will have a 'jump' in it.
I mounted my webcam on an old tripod that I foun on the street, I think the tripod was used for a high hat on a drum set.
You will probably not want to mount the webcam more than about a foot above the whiteboard, cause their resolution isn't that great.
plug the camera into your computer and start MonkeyJam
