00679 Spinny spinner

Stick a motor on a bit of wood and screw it into another bit of wood, glue a big bit of cardboard to the top and program an arduino with a MOSFET to control the motor speed.

And ... SPIN!

 

And repeat.

00678 Mars or bust

The bookies are giving surprisingly good odds on bust.

00677 Balls

Secret Santa this year and the anti's been upped. It's a man in a box picking up balls of light. As usual.

 

 

 

 

00676 Video wallpaper

Comes in 5m rolls, 80 cm width.

Used for a dance night down the road. Also an experiment into taking large text files and flowing them over the top of video. I thought about sticking the whole of a film script over the top, as it's just a copy/paste kind of thing, but in the end 80's song lyrics seemed more appropriate. As they always do.

The paint in water stuff is from the last post. The ripples underwater are from my bath:

0675 Video stuff

I completely forgot to post up the experiments with paint and water, as well as any 3D stuff I'd done (which wasn't much, as most of it's work stuff).

So here's the paint and water things:

It's the plastic packaging from my GoPro, filled with water, stuck in front of a black background and lit with my bike light. Filmed with a 5D mk2 and a 100mm macro, then messed with in After Effects.

The other bit is some car headlights from Cinema 4D and it's just a test to see how to make trails in After Effects:

Random.

00674 Scottish Holiday Videos are GO

Generally, when I'm in Scotland on Holiday, I make a film of the whole thing.

When I'm not in Scotland, I don't.

There are limits.

00673 Because Mandala

Sometime I just draw Mandalas:

But most of the time I don't bother.

0672 Tip in the box

When you go to a restaurant, you should always tip your waiter

... by making a little box and putting money in it, along with a note asking your waiter to text "yes" if they find the money.

... and then making a bigger box and putting the smaller box inside it.

I do it all the time now.

... well, once anyway.

0671 Scottish Pooh Sticks

Scottish pooh sticks are go!
