RipRoar Creation Station: At-Home Greenscreen

Posted by Joel Johnson, September 10, 2007 5:39 AM | permalink

The ToyQuest "RipRoar Creation Station" is a VGA-resolution webcam—nothing special there—with a mountable green screen and software package for compositing your own special effects shots. While I'm sure most of these will be used to film battles against lightsaber-wielding dragon robots piloted by zombie pirates (and the ninja princess wizard who leads them), I quietly hope that the Creation Station will fuel the dreams of at least one awkward pre-teen television meteorologist.

The whole kit is a hundred bucks. I'm not entirely sure it's just a straight web cam; there may be some flash memory on board for tetherless recording, too.

Oh, and one button upload to YouTube! I could see a healthy market for this with cornball podcasters.

does this camera use SD cards if so and it functions as a removable drive you can take the card out of the camera and stick it into a flashcard reader on a PC and drag and drop the videos to moviemaker or your HD, this might be worth spending 30 bucks for i wouldnt pay 100 for it though, hmm one touch youtube uploading
