My New Tripod’s Missing Shoe
Important!
Dear visitors,
This blog and the Tigarus.com network will be changing our website software in May (2024). There will be some down time and there will be a change to the webpage addresses.
We will also be removing the Anime blogs. The Rocksmith Songs website will be unavailable of a few weeks or months while I move the database to the new software.
At the moment we are running on Wordpress, the new software is an in-house project which is 57 times faster. It will also provide more freedom for development.
Thank you for understanding.
After many years I finally decided to buy myself a tripod. Since we don’t have any good stores where I live, I had to order the pod. I was so excited because this would be my first real tripod, and it would arrive for my birthday. I ordered the tripod from a big Canadian website at a great deal of 160 dollars Canadian. When it arrived two days after my birthday I was so excited to open it. My parents made fun of me and said things like “why the hell did you buy that”, “You’re not a photographer” like always. I had the tripod siting up and started to look at it, the pod was missing a piece. I looked all over for the camera plate but could not find it. My beautiful new tripod was useless.
I did some research to find the name to the missing part, it was called a “quick shoe.” My tripod had no shoe, the next thing I did was look up the part and if it was something I could buy. The shoe was difficult to find and the cost was high, averaging about 40 dollars. The cost was high mostly to shipping and import fees, I was about to panic. The next day I got up early to call the company, on the first try I got the answering machine, on the second try I got a real person. We quickly ended our conversation with hope, and now I need to wait to see if they can find me the shoe. I was also told it may be difficult because the product was discounted and that’s why it was on sale.
A week later I tried to contact them by phone. I wasn’t able to get a holed of a real person, so I emailed them instead. The next day I received a happy rely, they are mailing me the shoe. Now it was a matter of waiting two weeks, and at last I had the missing shoe. My wonderful new tripod was complete. With the tripod I will put my old video camera to work.
I plan to document the creative process while creating my video game and start rotoscoping projects. I have created an amazing system to convert a sequence of images to a unique rotoscoping style. I hope to create some interesting, but simple videos that standout.
