Yeah, that’s me operating a giant crane (for the first time) to assemble a gigantic lifesize Bumblebee Transformers robot!!!
Tonight on Science of the Movies, I join my buddy John Frazier and his team at FXperts to take you step-by-step in building the Bumblebee robot used in Michael Bay’s Transformers movies!
Plus, I visit Image Metrics, the digital gurus behind the facial animation for such blockbuster video games as GTA IV and Assassin’s Creed 2, and they turn my on screen performance into a video game character!
We also take a look at the technology of 3D moviemaking with stereoscopic legends at Stereoscope, and witness my complete claustrophobic meltdown when I’m put into an MRI machine — all in the name of movies — at Applied fMRI Institute.
Science of the Movies, Thursdays at 8pm on Science Channel!
You have the best job ever Nar
Sweet. Bumblebee was always my favorite transformer. It would be supercool if it moved and was programmable.
I wouldn’t put it past John Frazier and FXperts to have a moving programmable Bumblebee by the time the next Transformers film hits!
I missed Thursdays episode and am on my iPhone looking for repeats. Unfortunately, even the Science Channel doesn’t show your upcoming episodes. As a matter of fact, they don’t have Amy info since your first season episodes from
early in the year. Get your protione teM
on it!
I look forward to catching future episodes.
Yeah, networks generally don’t keep their hosts in the loop, so you can ask them directly here: http://science.discovery.com/utilities/about/contact.html
Thanks for watching!
