Totally worth it: would sLOMO again!
For JF sLOMO (Slow Motion) Frame DIY Kit
I'm so glad that I found this kit: it is the real deal and I am doubtful that I would have pulled it off otherwise.
The parts arrived quickly and safely. If you're debating whether to get the assembled kit... get the assembled kit! It's been tested and is going to work.
I was a little concerned that the 8x10 frame design would be too small, but it's totally perfect for the illusion.
I docked some marks for documetation and communication. Let me explain...
The docs were a solid 3-4 stars. I think that they could benefit from a pass from an editor. I found myself jumping around a lot and watching the video numerous times to put everything in context and work out an order of operations. I am a reasonably confident creator so, like, I could piece it together. What I came away with was the feeling that it was written by someone who is so close to the ground that it is hard to appreciate what someone coming to the project new might have trouble understanding.
I found myself with all sorts of questions about what sort of bonding agent I should use on the acrylic, and what kind of LED light strips I should order.
I gave the Communication two stars because I never heard back any reply to my questions, which I submitted via Tindie. I reserve one star reviews for people who write back and tell me to GFY... soooo, radio silence is better than being called names. Still, if replying to questions is difficult, even better is to assertively copy answers to previously asked questions into the docs so that next time, people have no questions! It sounds crazy but it works.
All in all, this was great fun and my SO loves it.
