Which engineering discipline makes things like body-armor and other gadgets/weapons like Lucius Fox made for Bruce? i'm kinda looking into getting into a field of engineering with the same function/usage. Also, what allowed him to design the gear on his own? Thanks in advance.


Answer
'Lucius Fox' would need to have extensive knowledge in Mechanical engineering â The design of physical or mechanical systems, such as power and energy systems, aerospace/aircraft products, weapon systems, transportation products engines, compressors, powertrains, kinematic chains, vacuum technology, and vibration isolation equipment. Also Electrical engineering â a very broad area that may encompass the design and study of various electrical & electronic systems, such as electrical circuits, generators, motors, electromagnetic/electromechanical devices, electronic devices, electronic circuits, optical fibers, optoelectronic devices, computer systems, telecommunications and electronics. His engineering prowess would include aerospace, architectural, biomedical, industrial and nuclear engineering so he would indeed be quite an individual and as somebody earlier said 'its only fiction' Bruce Wayne's billions of dollars allowed Lucius Fox to design the gear. Hope any of this helps. You have quite a bit of studying to do it seems

What is the most simple to use digital video camera and editing softwear?




Eric


My younger brother is autistic, but high functioning. He's becoming very interested in making films and film making. What would be a good place for him to start?


Answer
Hi Eric:

For starting out, try one of the free (for short projects) online video & slideshow edit sites like OneTrueMedia.com which is very user-friendly and needs no software installation. See my short "features" demo here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1fUUAisJGA

And YouTube has a simple online editor function (again, browser-based, so no installation needed).

As for a camera/camcorder, one of the "pocket model" point-and-shoot camcorders that don't have a lot of menus and dials would be best. They tend to have a "one button upload" feature, which makes using an online editor even easier. Even though recently discontinued (still available in some places), the Kodak PlaySport and PlayTouch line of pocket camcorders are rugged, water-resistant, and a good example of a simple to use video recorder.

A visit to a local pawn shop is a good way to try some "hands on" tests of affordable camcorders, and save some money (and find good discontinued models like the Kodaks).

Shy away from models with hinged-screens or other easily breakable parts. The ones that resemble an iPod tend to be the simplest.

Many famous YouTubers started out with (and still use) a webcam & their laptop for making videos. Webcams are pretty hard to "break" and not expensive, compared to a separate camcorder. ($20-$40 can buy a decent webcam, but not a good camcorder.)

You're a better judge of your brother's motor skills and responsibility-level regarding handling & use of an electronic gadget. Budget your purchase accordingly.

hope this helps,
--Dennis C.
