  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Names for prototypes?

Boris and Natasha were Russian spies on the old "Rocky and Bullwinkle" show. Rocky was a flying squirrel and Bullwinkle was a moose. I'm guessing someone (Jim?) was a fan.

Acapulco is a manner of singing without music, so I guess they don't have sound enabled on that particular prototype.

Acapulco is a resort city in Mexico and Acapella is a lyrical style without accompaniment.

If its any consolation I thought it was funny.
 
IIRC, there is another prototype named 'Romeo' that was mentioned at or shortly after NAB. I'm sure they all have names and there may or may not be any specific design to the naming scheme...

..."singing without music" - hehe
 
Here is what I have on record since sometime last year:

"Frankie" (Prototype Shell w/ working sensor, Various Tests)
"Spike" (First Finished Prototype Body?)
"Boris" (Alpha - Crossing the Line, Various Tests)
"Natasha" (Alpha - Crossing the Line, Various Tests)
"Penny" (Beta - Wanted?)
"Bombay" (Beta - Wanted?)
"Acapulco" (Beta - Various Tests?)
"Mars" (Beta - NAB?)
"Romeo" (Beta - NAB?)
"Silk" (Beta - NAB?)

"Tex" (RED Spider) :)

I believe this makes sense since there was a reference to there being only a limited number of protoypes to go around.
If anyone has anymore data, perhaps we can add to this here and keep track of the developments with each camera.
 
dang

dang

I thought I was religious about reading this forum every day. How did I miss Penny?

I first heard that joke in a Martin (Lawrence) episode, where he was telling an A&R guy that the girl he represented could not only sing to the music track, but also acapulco (instead of acapella)...lol


I suggest naming the next prototype "Barbarella"
 
Hey guys stop hacking on good old #6.

Don't let them get you doun number six. I would hate to think you were wearing a froun. Just dust yourself off and head into toun. I hear the circus is there and you can cheer up by watching some clouns.

By Jove, Finnuh. I believe you've got it, old boy! (ou's)
 
Hey #6

Why did you pick #6 (From Blazing Saddles?). Your avatar where were you all dressed up like that when you had that picture taken?
 
I perfer the Blazing Saddles #6 reference. I have seen the prisoner a few times, good old egg chairs and bouncing bubbles but enjoy blazing saddles much more.
