oh no, the peg bar is just a little thing to hold the paper, you see? I tape it to the light table, which is a box with a lamp inside. The top of the box is made of acrylic or frosted glass. Google for it, I got some ideas from professional lightboxes and applied them to my homemade crappy one!
i need help.ive tryed making pencil animations and there ok, just i need some way of knowing were the previus slide's drawing was.(if u understand) jake.
But you can scan it. It'll just be slower. Think about it, it's slower to scan a drawing than to capture a frame with a camera (even a webcam would do). The quality will be better with the scanner, of course. You can scan with photoshop and maybe do an animated gif with imageready, though i really think you should give monkeyjam a try.
I think you can scan them, but since it's a pencil test that would be too much trouble. I just put all the drawings in order held on my homemade pegbar, then I captured the first frame in monkeyjam, took off the first paper of the pile, captured the second frame and so on. It's a lot quicker than scanning, works well since it's not supposed to be high quality.
I used a program called monkeyjam. It's great and it's free, you can use it for pencil tests such as mine or for stop motion animation. I used a firewire enabled digital camera to capture the individual frames.
Please, tell me how you made that pegbar?

It's a cheap piece of plastic (from an ice cream pot lid)with two wooden pins glued to it.

Hey thanks for responding! I might have to try that. But how do you light it from underneath?
