Adding monsters to your life with Aug(de)mented Reality

November 4, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If you’ve seen the original you’ll now how cool these are. These are created by Marty Cooper and are made using traditional animation cels and an iPhone 5. We’re talking about hand drawings and stop motion. This flip features the animation made in Adam Savage’s Tested. If you want to know more about how the […]

Adam Savage shows off his mecha-glove from Hellboy

July 24, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is an open-ended but very complex project. It’s also clearly a labour of love for Adam Savage. It’s based on a glove that’s seen briefly in the movie. He wants two gloves and explains this means he’ll try and build four. Why? In the process of building the gloves he fully expects to ruin […]

Short Film: Night of Little Dead

October 13, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a little known classic from Halloween 2011. It’s only had 50,000 views which is remarkable given the quality corn on display here and the all star line-up. The stars here really are impressive; Bill Moseley as Kickstand, Adam Savage as Dan, Penn Jillette as Dave-O, Martin Klebba as Little Dead, James Hurley as […]

Nothing to Prove – Geek Girls and The Doubleclicks

July 24, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 7 Comments

This is all types of awesome and earning thousands of views. It’s a simple formula; the melodies of The DoubleClicks combined with very simple messages from geek girls. We’ve seen “fake geek girl” battles all over the place. They come in many forms; you’re not a geek, you’re a pretty girl trying to gain popularity […]

Giant robot stalks Comic Con

July 20, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If you’ve got the Stan Winston School and Legacy Effects to build a mech that’s nearly ten feet tall and your plan is to have it stomp around San Diego Comic Con then a great person to unveil the creation is Adam Savage. That’s exactly what Conde Nast’s Wired did. The robot is an impressive […]

Adam Savage on how ideas lead to discoveries

March 16, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Adam Savage is more than “from Mythbusters”. He’s an intelligent man and a champion for science. He’s also a very good speaker. This TED video (technically TED Ed and enhanced with animations) has Adam walk the audience through how ideas can lead to scientific discoveries. Example include how Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth […]

Beyond the Mythbusters trailer

September 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I wake up to the TV switching on the Discovery Channel. It’s a pretty good way to ensure there’s something decent on that is capable of pulling the sleepy brain into the world of wakefulness. The Mythbuster trailer is particularly good. It’s good because it sings “hallelujah!” at me and because I’m looking forward to […]

Geeksplode: Adam Savage sings I Will Survive as Gollum

July 1, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Boom! That’s the sound of my geek dna exploding in an overdrive of geek charged geekiness. Awesome. Awesome. Do you have a better word for it? Oh. Yeah; that is Neil Gaiman as one of the radio hosts. It’s such an appropriate song for Gollum to be singing. Clever Gollum, clever.

Mythbusters do the Doctor Who dance

May 29, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Have the Mythbusters ever looked into any of the science on Doctor Who? Dunno. They’ve looked into sci-fi before, or, well, some of the real-world science around sci-fi films like Deep Blue Sea. This video stars just one Mythbuster – the famous Adam Savage – a heck of a lot of electricity being pumped out […]
