Fanatiguy LEGO Build – More amazing videos are a click away
SureCLICK brought Nathan Sawaya to Rackspace to build us a six foot tall sculpture of our mascot.
Since he only had about 4 hours on-site most of the assembly was done in his NY Studio and shipped here in pieces.

That is awesome, Anton!! I’m so impressed! It turned out great!
What software did you use to stitch the photos together into a video?
I used ImageMagick (mogrify) to crop the original images to 1920×1080 then I used mencoder to convert the images to an mpeg4.
You can specfy an input source as mf://*JPG to indicate that you want multiple files to be read.
More info can be seen here:

The command I used was something like:
mencoder mf://IMG*.JPG -mf fps=8:type=jpg -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1024 -ffourcc XVID -o output.avi
Once I had a nice quality xvid I used mencoder again to crop it to a 4:3 aspect and scale it down to a size that was practical to upload.
This is why I am paying a premium for my dedicated services. HAHA this is also why I moved my servers to server intellect for better support. Keep building legos rackspace cuz that is fixing my server as we speak.
