This was taped for my blog post about the history of sputnik signage: http://www.thelope.com/2007/10/sputversary.html
This is a restored Roto-Sphere at El Comedor restaurant in Moriarty New Mexico on Route 66. Original was taped on analog 8mm in 2003. Lacking transfer capability, I played it on TV and recorded an mpg with a digital camera - low-tech, but good for illustrating motion.

That is excellent! Well done capturing this Route 66 gem.

Very cool indeed! We could never have anything like that in Florida, due to all the hurricaines and high post-storm lawsuits all signs are kept very bland and as low to the ground as possible.

Very cool. Like the opening animation, on the old TV show, "Playhouse 90", which may have inspired these.

I remember when they fixed this after like a million years. It was RF worthy.

How cool... I grew up with a rotosphere atop the BBF restaurant in Portsmouth, Ohio, and have been obsessed ever since. Thanks for posting one in action!
