Filmmaker creates an amusing video starring a 3D-printed infant


Here's another awesome stop-motion animation from Eran Amir. The Israeli filmmaker 3D printed a series of tiny baby sculptures and use them to shoot amusing timelapse videos of a naked infant running in various locations and environments. We see the baby cross over a snow-covered landscape in Germany, the Dead Sea, bridges, alleys, beaches and even duck under Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate in Chicago. 


The process is very labor-intensive, as Amir must attach one of the figurines on a rig every time he moves the camera forward. But for this video, the result was well worth the effort. Check out these behind-the-scenes shots that show how it was done.

Hand-Painted Bags That Tell Your Story

  Most bags today look like they were produced by bored machines in a dimly lit factory. You can walk into any mall and find rows of identical leather (or “leather-like”) things, all claiming to express individuality. Ironically, though, they all look exactly the same. Then there’s Abby Verano . Her bags are not mere accessories; they’re declarations. Each one is hand-painted, touched by an actual human being with an imagination. Abby doesn’t just sell you something to put your wallet and smartphone in; she sells you a story, a vision, a little revolt against the tyranny of sameness.  Her tools are simple — brushes, acrylic paint, bags made from pandan leaves, and creativity. No duplicates. No clones. Just one-of-a-kind art pieces you can carry.

'Star Wars' cutaway illustrations by Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore

These illustrations by Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore explore the inner workings of some of the most famous Star Wars vehicles, from the AT-AT walker to the Millennium Falcon. The interesting part about these images is that they're completely hand drawn, with no help from a computer whatsoever. Prepare to marvel at these wonderful examples of sci-fi art!  [h/t: Galactic Academy ]
