9:37 also on the perspective from eye line thing being affected by the field of view of a camera. A 50mm lense is a pretty close approximation of human vision. But that doesn't take into account the fantasy races who have totally different eyes.
You guys made that far more interesting than I was expecting! I've always meant to experiment with a laser pointer for the fun of it. Mostly "get down behind and look" works, but laser does seem to have the advantage that if there was some critical LOS situation where both sides were really invested in it being exactly right, then you might be able to demonstrate the LOS in a fairly objective way. I must say that I was waiting for Adam to break out a dental mirror or something to bounce the laser pointer off of in that tricky "standing next to a cliff situation." That would have been fun to see! :-)
@@hexhalla youve inspired me to rig up a laser pointer module with attached 4mm mirror at a 45 degree angle. Basically you hold the laser pointing down always and it reflects. That lets you get in tight spaces. If you might use it, I'm happy to make a second one. It'll be prototype-y but it costs about the same to make 2 as it does to make 1.
Just looking through the comments and just realized we missed this reply. I think that would be a great thing to feature on the channel in a video if you are interested. Maybe a Heroscape R&D or Useful things review.
@@hexhalla Sounds good. I'll order the supplies for a half-dozen or so right now. Coming from china so it won't be super quick, but I should be able to assemble it quickly when it arrives!
I'm sorry, but haunched over your scape table like you're in the most intense game of pool is the only way to do it. (Although, I've always liked the laser pointer method too)
