Okay, we all know that the classic board game Space Hulk was recently re-released. In the game, the space marine player is timed on his turns. The game comes with a little plastic sand hourglass timer.
I've been thinking how awesome it would be to have a timer that made sounds like the Aliens Motion Tracker. Ideally I would want a hardware one, but that solution (trying to find a countdown timer that lets you customize sound) seems to be impossible to get. I'm thinking about hitting up hyperdyne and seeing if he could attach a 3 minute countdown timer to his MT sound board.
But in the meantime, I figure I would make a video that would just countdown 3 minutes and as part of the video I would use a motion tracker. That way the countdown timer video could be used on iPods and iphones or any other multimedia player.
What I need to do this are the background screens for a motion tracker (hi-er res the better) and of course the MT sound effects.
But today my google-fu is weak. I could swear there were animated gifs floating around and even a flash utility at one point. I'm just curious if anyone can point me in the right direction or have a better idea on how I can achieve this.
Bottom line requirement: A 3 minute countdown timer that can play sounds from the Aliens motion tracker. Preferably start slow with pulses, and then introduce warning pings that get faster and faster as the time draws to zero.
Thanks in advance.
