Here is a pretty good rendering video demo of an Optimus Prime look a like transforming from a diesel cab into a robot. The rendering itself is pretty life like looking but there are still little hints that give it away as a fake. The main one is near the first part of the video they catch some of the sidewalk in the viewer and the texture on it looks horrible. The rest of the buildings look pretty lifelike though. Also I'm not sure about some of the reflections they are using. Apparently it is just a fan render and isn't a trailer or tech demo for a game/movie. This post brought to you by 'Remember the 80s!'.
Apparently this company Fabrican Ltd. developed fabric which comes in a can that you can spray on whatever you want. Make a new shirt or add on to current garments. One of the best applications for this technology though is probably in emergency services (ambliance personal, first aid kits, and/or battle medics). You could just spray on a temporary bandage which contained antibiotics, antiseptics, and blood coagulants onto a wound in the field before transport to a medical facility. There appears to be two example photos of the spray on fabric. One of them is at the website of Fabrican and the second is over at We Make Money Not Art which has a t-shirt looking spray on photo. However, it doesn't look like there is any commercially available Fabrican at the moment.
The woman in this video takes one of those balloons that you make balloon animals out of and swallows the entire balloon. This is pretty similar to swallowing swords except that she puts the whole balloon down instead of stopping at the hilt and pulling the sword back out. The video doesn't show her talking the balloon back out. The question I have is if you have ever played with those balloon animal balloons you know that they can constrict at one end to be shorter and did that happen here?
So the guy in this video has a projector setup in a large room and a couple boxes down in the right corner of the screen where he is standing. He turns a camera onto a glass cage area and then takes a mouse out of one of the boxes and drops it into the cage area so it appears on the screen. Next he takes a wide chopping blade and chops the mouse in half. Both sides of the mouse are still running around and finally the second half of the mouse grows a new head. The guy takes the second mouse out of the box. Next up he puts a straw into the glass cage and blows the mouse up into a giant mouse. Finally the mouse blows out the air like a balloon and flies around the glass cage. Lastly the guy lights a cherry bomb and drops it in the glass cage. The mouse turns to a crisp and blows away.
So apparently there was a tortoise named Addwaita who has lived in a zoo in India for the last ~131 years or so. The zoo was founded in 1875 and the tortoise started living there then. The info for the photo states that the tortoise was around 250 years old and just recently died from liver failure. He was believed be to the oldest living tortoise according to the information with the photo. Aren't tortoises suppost to be one of the oldest living creatures (reptiles?). This guy outlived all the zookeepers over a 131 year period though so I guess the tortoise really does beat the rabbit in the end.
In this video the two guys are at some illusion exhibit in New Zealand. Apparently this room in the exhibit is built to be an optical illusion where when a person walks from one end of the room to the other it looks like the person is turning into a giant. This is the same depth of field effect they use in movies to depict giant size characters. I only notice a little bit of the right side of the room being "lower" in the camera view. It's possible that the right side is the same height as the left side but the floor sure looks slanted. Anyway, the right side is much farther back (or so it seems) that the left side of the room. As the person walks from right to left I assume they get closer to the camera (and I assume the floor to ceiling height is also less).
Here is a short video clip of some jellyfish swimming in a New York aquarium exhibit. The jellyfish are glowing in the dark and the video itself is surprisingly clear. Most of the video on this host site is pretty tore up looking compression wise but I don't really see any artifacts in this one. Jellyfish like these are where they get the genes that they are splicing with various plants and animals (like the green glowy pigs we've posted on here before). Apparently, the exhibit is called 'Alien Stingers'.
Here is a stop motion reversed video of someone taking a broken camcorder apparent. They reversed the video so you get to watch the camcorder put itself back togather in the video with some kind of THX like wind sound in the background. The pieces of the camcorder fly in and attach to the body as it spins around and it ends up at the end of the video all put togather. This reminds me of the other reverse videos we posted like of the guy that reversed footage of himself building rock sculptures. We've posted some other stop motion videos as well that you can probably find via search. This video turned out pretty well I'd say.
