    Default Design and Technology Movie Assignment on acoustic guitar building

    Hi everybody,
    I have to make a video for design and technology and I wanted to do mine on building acoustic guitars, and since my dad and I haven't gotten to build them yet, I needed to get them from somebody who has built them. If you're able to post them, can you make sure that they are copyright free. it would be great if you can post them, if not it's no drama

    Let me clarify. She needs any photos that you accoustic builders would care to let her use, or the express permission of the owners of the files in other posts to use them in her school video. They are very stringent with copywrite at her school (and rightly so) and it really stops the kids just trolling the internet without thought of the possible consequences.
    Cheers!

    i did d&t in yr11/12. one of my favorite subjects. cant really help though. make sure you get you folio up to scratch and well laid out, thats what gets you marks. its a pity though, as great designs can get bad marks, and the other way around too.

    good luck

    Big Mongrel/Little Mongrel,

    I have about 3000 acoustic guitar building photos on my Mac....all taken by me and free of copyright restrictions.

    Tell me what you need and Ill get some burnt to a CD. I also have a CD of photos taken during a guitar building course I attended in NZ a few years ago.

    PM me if youre interested. Its easier if I email or snail mail the pics to you. Posting on the forum requires resizing of the files and it takes forever.

    Cheers Martin

    Big Mongrel..Little Mongrel.

    Any comeback on those photos? If you want 'em I need to know soon so I can start burning 'em onto a CD. It'll take an hour or two I (my Mac's old and slow like me) but I'm happy to do it if you really want the pics

    Let me know asap...cheers Martin
