Dear Professor Bird, my name is Frank Ye. I am a 3d artist for AAA games. What you taught in your videos is truly meaningful to me. My job requires me to recreate high quality realistic props and tools, your course provide information that's really hard to find elsewhere. Your stuff is truly gems
I'm an ID student, about to start my second year. Just finished binging this series and it gave me so much invaluable insight into the field, it was inspiring and informative and exciting! You're a great educator, I thoroughly enjoyed this course. So glad you decided to make this publicly available. Thank you :) It's gonna be hard to find anything nearly as awesome to watch in my free time now lol
Professor Bird, I quit my Industrial Design program 3 years ago (because I realised I didn't really want to become a designer...) and I just completed another -completely unrelated- program that I started after quitting Design. However I still come back to rewatch your videos, because they were some of my most enjoyable moments during my studies. Thank you for your amazing work and sharing your passion with us!! ❤️
For the exhibition, we realized it would be easier to just acquire all of the toys, which took a year of eBay combing, but worked great. Then three years later, I got to liquidate the collection and sold most of it again eBay. I could not believe my luck finding those ViewMaster images because they transformed the exhibition (20' high projection!). And I was amazed that I was unable to sell them after. I sold every other thing, and they are sill here waiting for me to get them to a next home... I have never seen another one.
Thank you Matthew for sharing insight into industrial design. One of the best and most insightful series of industrial design on RU-vid in my opinion. No marketing agenda, just great design history! :)
Holy hell! What an adventure this was. I just spent the most enjoyable nine RU-vid hours of my life (which included a six hour intermission. I’ve gotta sleep y’know!) Yes, I stuck with you the entire time and I must thank you for not editing out the flubs, ramblings and dribbles, which helped to regulate the impressive amount and quality of data we were processing here. Of course, constant rewinding played a huge part in my taking so long to get through this………heck, I don’t even know what this is! A seminar? A virtual classroom? I can only hope that if heaven has a waiting room that THIS is what is playing on a constant loop. You are a wonderful busted main of facts and information, and your endless flow of images and knowledgeable stimulation is most appreciated, Sir. Thank you so much for this fantastic presentation of a subject that I’ve loved wholeheartedly ever since my father introduced me to it as a child. You have a new subscriber.
Nice quick overview. One tip I wanted to add: To file a more accurate radius on an edge there is a different much better technique: You start with the tip of your file on the flat that is facing away from you. Then you roll the file towards you (or the flat that's facing you) while you push. Feels a bit odd and unintuitive the first time but works fine and makes repeatably the same radius everytime.
I would LOVE to see you with no pants. You're yummy! (i love deco btw,,,, have a wood deco seth thomas wind up, keeps perfect time, rings every half hour, hour on the hour. Most accurate wind up i have, my favorite is Ingraham, but Seth made so many different kinds, i'll assume made for everyone's pocket book. If you didn't have a Seth Thomas, eeeeeek lol. Got a Ingraham banjo,, great cabinet,, spools on the side.. perfect time keeper as well. Have you guessed by now, I'm a gay man? lol,,,, and I'm 60, watch out, ha ha.. tc you sexy guy!
28:23 I love your presentation, but at 28 minutes and 23 seconds the word FINNISH needs to have two of the letter N, not one. Also PAVILION has only one letter L.
THANK YOU!!!!!! Too late to fix it now, and that's the price for moving too fast trying to get these done in such a short time. But I love having the corrections noted for all!
I would absolutely trade away the modern blow molded coffee lid. the amount of trash for a single use item and I would personally enjoy a resurgence in the coffee shop as a third place and not a stop off point to get a shot of caffeine.
This is a wonderful video, but I really feel it skimmed past bild lilli. This isn't a video about bild lilli of course but I feel it doesn't give her near enough credit
The thing about silk worms not existing in the wild anymore isn't true-- there are other types of silk producing moths that still exist in the wild. (Especially in India). But they're distinct.
Hi Matthew, as an Indonesian designer who experienced ID student life under Covid, I found my formative student years to be excruciatingly dull, and graduated in 2022 with dissappointment of my study, continuing to the auto industry and being displeased with it almost in the same manner of my own study. I'm extremely grateful to stumble upon your desperate videos in 2020 to hook your students, and have my horizon widened by binge watching all 12-week videos in an attempt to rekindle my relationship with the broader ID field and its rich history. I can't thank you enough for bringing knowledge and inspiring, even ten thousand miles away. A history lesson only an et ceterator could make!
Why did they get rid of the holes in the feet stand? I get improvements but getting rid of the stand is crazy to me all the flimsy stands they just seam to get worse by the year. The holes in the feet stand are perfect I love when I get a reproduction doll that has that stand! ❤❤
