Meet Elsie, the mechanical dragon! She was built by Paka the Uncredible and is now on display at the Artcore International 14 exhibition. It's still open until tomorrow and is free, so make sure you drop by to see all the amazing things on display!
The video above shows me just playing around with the controls (yes, you can control Elsie!), but she also breaths fire, rears up an moves around more. It's impressively well engineered so if you are into animatronics this is a must-see! Check out the video below for the fire-breathing.
I did a number of other things during the past week. I worked on a film by Ross Barnwell called 'Sensitive Neville' and another by the young Fabien Frankel (son of Mark Frankel) named 'Love and Punches'.
I also went to a Strobes gig, which was absolutely incredible. They are playing at the Emulsion Festival on the 28th, so check them out if you are going and want to dig in to some groovy "mathrobeat".
Oh, and yesterday I randomly ran into some of the Project Trident guys and we did some catching up. They are furiously working on their upcoming feature film 'Until The Day Breaks' which I can't be excited enough about! You will be hearing more about that fo' sho!
