Very very cool, albeit a bit embarrassing that the movie is coming up meh in the reviews compared to the first one.

Very, very cool. But Matt Groening had nothing to do with it.

That was very, very cool and made me smile. *promote!

crotchflame, what you're seeing is the interference between the string and the shutter. The same reason you get jelly like movements when panning with a digital camcorder is the reason you're seeing the strings moving like this. The strings aren't actually forming the shapes you see in the same way as a building doesn't actually distort when a camcorder pans.

Even so, it's a very very cool effect and I really enjoyed watching it!

ha damn, just wanted to sift this. very very very cool vid!

Wow. Very, very cool. I wish I could be his age again.

Very very cool, thanks for sifting this! Hadn't seen one on film 'till now

Amazing video, song is so so. But the vid, wow... not sure how they did it. Must be computer aided because it seems like a substituted background. The background appears to be super close-ups of areas around the beach. Very, very cool.


The post above you hit it dead on. Tilt Shift Technique. Basically you take the lens off the camera and move it slightly over (shift) to get this effect

Yeah, I'd really like to know how it is controlled. This one seems to definitely have a lot more "emote" than some of the toys and other promotional version I've seen.

The only thing that kind of throws me is that he seems much much larger than he should be, and as as result, just slightly clunky.

Still, very very cool.

Very, very cool.

voice control has it's place, but it's very process intensive... plus.. accents and dialects for voice are hard to compute.

PLUS, do you really want to be sitting in a meeting, playing your phone/pda whispering into it.. or sitting in a lecture dictating to your pda (imaging you and 100 other people doing the same!)

What if you want to enter something private - voice control isn't private!

In the car when you're driving... now there's a perfect place for voice control.

by the way, this looks very very cool indeed

lol, dag, I'm going to have to agree with your 7 year old. It's like the atmosphere on this planet is only about 500 feet up. Still very, very cool, though.
