Cool Dual iPad Halloween Costume See Thru Body

Posted on October 31st, 2011 by Merlin.

Although this is quite an expensive Halloween costume  it is pretty cool to see this working.  Finally a cool use of facetime.

This costume requires the following:

2 x iPad 2’s

1 wi-fi connection - Either at the party you are attending or using a portable wifi connector from AT&T or Comcast

1 Shirt with bloody hole cut out in front and back

Red Paint or fake blood.

Looks like this could be a lot of fun to play around with.

Have 2 iPhone 4’s and put a hole in your head.

Anne Hathaway Rapping about the Batman Dark Knight Rises Photographers

Since watching all the Batman Dark Night Rises - Filming that is going on around Pittsburgh, I thought this was a funny rap in the Style of Lil’ Wayne.

I know several of the “Normal” photographers out there. I have not seen any of the Paparazzi. But I am just trying to get out of town with all the traffic.

This Video is Anne Hathaway’s Lil’ Wayne Style Paparazzi Rap as shown on Conan on TBS

Seeing all the streets closed and all of the snow covered roads as I am sweating was quite a weird look and feel. The tumblers look great. I really can’t wait to see this movie next year.

Indy 500 - New world record - Driver Yellow Hot Wheels

This was amazing to watch - But make sure to watch the follow up videos on how they practiced this jump for months before today (May 29th 2011’s) big jump at the Indy 500. The way they made the jump look just like the Hot Wheel Race Track I used to play with as a kid. I think I attempted this same jump from the living room couch many time before. But it never looked this cool. Way to go Tanner Faust - From Top Gear.  Tanner is the Yellow Driver. They have been keeping him under wraps until today. Todays jump was 332 feet - A little over the length of a foot ball field. I like how he described it as flying thru the uprights.

Now Enjoy the videos:

Here is Tanner Faust talking about the practice and leading up tod the jump today.

and finally the teaser video presented by Izod and Hot Wheels:

Allstate Insurance - Tilt Shift Commercial

In my attempt at Photography - I have been playing with the Tilt-Shift to make a scene look like it is a model platform.

Seeing this Allstate Insurance Commercial on TV today it reminded me how much I like this technique and this would be a fun project to do someday on video.

If you check out Photoshop Nations on Geeks - You can see some of the Tilt Shift Attempts in photoshop.

If you want to learn more about Tilt Shift Photography Take a look here: Wikipedia - Tilt Shift Photography
