However, that isn't just limited to providing funky layouts that mess with your mind when you pan along them.
A shortage of motorized peg-bars on a rostrum camera will ultimately limit ones ability to have complicated multi-layer scenes.
Here is, reconstructed from memory, a background Roy once showed me in the basement of 138 Royal College Street.
I can't vouchsafe for the total accuracy of my version, but in principle, that's how it worked.
It was big, about 4 feet by 4 feet and it was the most beautiful thing I had seen up until then.

GREAT ! Thank you for documenting this.
Hi, Thanks for the wonderful breakdown. I must have watched our ideo about half a dozen times. Very clever of Roy, very astute of you to capture it anew for us. Thanks for the hard work in documenting this.
I hope that all Roy's many original cardboard rigs for the Thief are archived properly - somewhere. For a DVD or BlueRay extras section this kind of thing, ideally with the original rigs, would be pretty awesome. Just as with stop motion "making off" videos I find the hand-made aspect of it captivating.
Late commenting to this party, but I saw it when you put it up...brings tears to my old layout eyes. Thanks to Matt, Michael, Holger and the rest. Hope to meet you all som etime.
another comment: in several years of teaching layout, there has ben nothing as elegant as this, to explain the
process of use of pegs, bars, levels and so on.
Thanks again.
I have a couple of photocopies of scribbles of how the carpet with Zig Zag walking was done and the panning multi-layers of the city with its many problems.
And now this wonderful video is gone . (this is on the day that we learned Roy has passed away and I had hoped to post it in tribute to him on my Facebook page). I hope someone saved the video and can re-post it ?
