“…Masquerade…is a semi-annual variety show featuring teams and solo contest entrants who create scenes or cinematic special effects with homemade costumes, props, makeup, camouflaged assistants, highly coordinated physical performances, and earnest commitment.”
Saving this to share with the family.

“With a potter’s wheel, a round whiteboard, and a few dry erase markers, Yohei Kisanuki creates momentary phenakistoscope-like animations.”
This is mesmerizing.

“experimental aquariums on the cheap”
I saw this YouTube channel on The Kid Should See This, and, even with only three videos, it is really interesting. I’m looking forward to more.
The videographer creates balanced aquascapes that are absolutely amazing.
"How are superhero flying scenes created for movies and TV?"
#TheKidsShouldSeeThis digging out another cool video! I love seeing behind the scenes and the impressive planning and technology.

Who knew that scallops would jump into a lobster pot if you put LED lights in it!

Trying to solve a maths puzzle from a video on #TheKidsShouldSeeThis.
Deduced the value of the symbols from first principles and an assumption.
Gave up on final answer because it had new symbols and too many unknowns. But I knew the approach.
Wife looked over, I explained it. She pointed out that it says the symbol values are all earlier in the video. And I didn't rewind to that.
🤦
I'm intrigued by how this phase-shifting "robot" manages to reform back into a Lego figure despite being a complete puddle of metal! #TheKidsShouldSeeThis

Researchers have created a new class of robots that can shift between solid and liquid forms on demand. In a series of tests, these new bots could move and change shape to run obstacle courses, carry objects, or even escape from a jail cell like a Terminator.
Today's random bit of interest (from #TheKidsShouldSeeThis): How one Japanese company makes their manhole covers.
And being Japan, they're beautifully designed and artistic. Despite just being manhole covers.
(Very much #SlowTV, but some cool mechanisation. Colouring kicks in at 12:10. And I love the testing!)

This is a really clever little #AnimatedShort. It shows a little #blind girl going on an adventure in her imagination after her bag gets stolen and her dog runs away.
I love how they represent her exploring and understanding her surroundings!
