These animatronic creations are really impressive. They were created by John Nolan and I’m pretty sure you’ll recognise some favourite films and some adverts – even if all you get shown are the metal skeletal frames. Well worth a watch.
Jedi sports: Lightsaber golf and lightsaber badminton
The Jedi sports franchise is growing. You might wonder what the knights of the old Republic get up to during the times between crisis or where they hide while the Sith rule. The answer is simple; they hide in plain sight in sporting competitons around the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fst_Zbm_fu0
Can you make a slingshot that fires machetes?
Can you make a slingshot that fires machetes? Yes. Yes you can. Joerg Sprave, who has a whole blog about slingshots, rose to the challenge. He made a slingshot that can fire the heavy and rather sharp weapon. As you can imagine the slingshot is huge. Jorg hurt himself during the video. Don’t worry. You […]
Hellraiser in LEGO
This Cenobite looks familiar. Could it he be Pinhead himself? Nah! Pinhead was made from flesh, bone, blood and horror… not lego. Right? Riiight? Thanks to Capnbottle for this clever construction!
Facebook wants your soul
Take a minute to imagine what the very original Facebook might have looked like and what purpose it would serve. Some say the original Facebook was bound from human flesh, forged into an inhuman face that whispers dark secrets and promises of power. 9Gag.
Actual Zelda treasure chest
Have you ever wanted your very own treasure chest? One that was filled with shiny shiny loot! Sorry. Can’t help. What I can do is direct your attention to this Zelda treasure chest that comes complete with its very own Zelda sounds.
Projection mapping gets even better!
Yeah; this is an advert. Yeah; this is an other example of 3D projection mapping. Trust me – it’s worth it. This is projection mapping with a twist and the next two minutes will fly by. I strongly suspect you’ll be impressed. Somewhere in Hyundai’s marketing team there someone is smiling smuggly. They have every […]
Bullet time with 24 digital cameras
I still think the Matrix’s bullet time sequences are pretty cool. I know it’s old hat these days but that doesn’t stop me enoying it. If you have 24 digital cameras and a clever timing system then you can produce your own funky bullet time video. That’s exactly what Claudio Giambusso, Alice Stefani and Ivan […]
A record year for London’s Comic Con?
The London Comic Con, which is all Green Lantern this year, looks like it’s going to be busy. MCM Expo, who organise and run the eent, have released the advance ticket sales data and it shows that 15,000 tickets have been bought in advanced. That’s the highest ever. Demand is expected to hit 60, 000 […]
Spiky! Thorn dice go viral!
This set of thorn dice aren’t cheap. Prices start at about $30. That’s certainly not putting off the window shoppers though. At the time of writing the set has had over 3,000 Facebook Likes and over 98,000 views. It’s a fantastic advert for Shapeways which I hadn’t heard of before. Do you imagine there are […]
