Animation/Video of clock

Post by Rob Baker »

Hello all,

As mentioned on another thread I'm building something for a school assembly and wondered if anyone had a video or animation (an animated gif, or a wmv, even a youtube link) or just the clock?

If not I'll have to program it to move, which will take forever, so I'm hoping someone can help me!!

Thanks!

Rob

There is a clock animation on the Countdown DVD. It should be in a bargain display, so you should be able to get it for a few quid :lol:.

No, I need just the clock with the hands moving. The sound I can add myself. Otherwise I've got to photoshop an image and it looks awful, if I'm honest!

Thankies anyway!

Edit: on a second look, it seems I can email the man and he sends them to people! Excellent, I'll give that a go!

You appear to making some kind of mock Countdown studio for an assembly.

I have a (home-made) inflatable Susie Dent doll if you'd like to borrow that?

The doll is definitely NOT part of the Countdown goodie bag. Corby? Did you make it yourself?

Haha, excellent Corby!

Yeah, I'm making a program that simulates Carol's job! Basically it chooses a random vowel or consonant (as per Countdown) and does the timer. The conundrum is rigged as are the numbers rounds.
