Some equipment updates

Hey, everyone.

Some good news about the cameras for the sunrise piece:
The Duderstadt Circulation desk has 8 decent Canon Vixia's (which I believe is the same model that I used to shoot the candle video).
We can check out 2 per person for 3 days, with tripods, IF we are put on the checkout list by an instructor.
I will send those instructions to Michael now so that he can give us checkout access.

I also did some webcam research and sent this model to Michael as a recommendation:
Logitech C170
I found a source on ebay for $11 refurbished models with free shipping. More than the $5 we were hoping, but after comparing several different models, I think this might be the minimum quality we want to go with (due to framerate limitations on cheaper cameras). Also, it's a UVC camera, so we can control the settings from within Max.

I will have to get back to you all on the monitors for the cameras to swing over.

Thanks!
