What's the inside of a modern animatronic creature look like? Adam shares this animatronic crow from his collection of film props and takes it to the offices of Lumafield, the makers of a compact CT scanner. Adam's blown away by what's visible in the scan, which reveals the intricate mechanisms and materials used to make this robot without having to damage the prop!

It would be neat to see these on your VR app. Just discovered your VR app last night and I’m blown away. I was looking for pottery wheels for my wife online and I’ve settled on one. When was in your VR app I looked down at one of your shelves and saw the exact one I picked out. I’ve never seen you use it and didn’t even know you had one. So cool. I wish you could walk up closer to stuff without objects keeping pace. I want to study the “ pliers rack” more closely for example

Wonderful video! We rescued an injured crow when I was in high school. When her wing healed, she refused to leave, adopting us. She learned to meow like our cat, and said a few other words. She’d make a wonderful purring sound when really happy, while puffing up all her feathers. (I say “her”, but we really had no idea!). An unexpected wonderful animal companion growing up!

As a zookeeper that is fortunate enough to have a focus on birds and currently cares for an African pied crow, I can confirm that being on good terms with a corvid is an amazing experience and they're my favorite family of birds to work with outside of raptors even if they can be brats when they want to be.

@Zappygunshot Год назад

As childish and annoying as they can be, corvids and parrotids are amazing creatures. Their perception of the world, social natures and capacity for intelligence are all astounding in their own unique ways.

@alw1217 Год назад

First, that bird is amazing. Best thing ever. Second, holy crap that scanner is unbelievable. I don't find many things to be that impressive but this is hands down one of the top contenders of all time.

The crow is great, I would love to see the doorbell. The CT scan is fascinating to see as well, what an incredibly powerful tool. More of this, please!

@saltyspirateden Год назад

Back in grade school ( circa 64-65) there was a crow named Sam, that would come visit at lunch time, he'd land on the table and walk back and forth saying "pleaze" and if you gave him something he would say "grassis", obviously had been trained by someone. He also collected shiny junk and stashed it up on the roof, the janitor would go up there every couple of months and clear it up, most went into the lost and found.

@nullfi7148 Год назад

I've known about polymetrics/3D scanning for a while now but to see the process and how far it's come has been delightful to watch.

@lumomagus Год назад

This is legit so cool- as an animator i’d totally want to use the scaner to scan frames of a stopmotion puppet, imagine the things u could do with it 😵 woah, you could even scan claymation and then keep the forms as digital references

@BarBar3ar Год назад

I would love to see classic stop motion used as an element in a modern movie; I think the 'Jason and the Argonauts' style of monster movement is perfect for a magically animated golem or whatnot.

@shorttimer874 Год назад

A similar tool in the medical field is the Pet Scanner. The subject is injected with irradiated glucose, voracious cancer cells gobble up the sugar quickest, then a CT scanner is used to see where the glucose ends up. There's a really cool rotating scan image on the Pet Scan Wikipedia page. In my case, it's a LOT less painful than a bone marrow biopsy to make sure that leukemia hasn't come back.

@TianarTruegard Год назад

So cool to see CT being used for things other than the medical field! I briefly went to school for radiologic technology. It didn't end up being for me, but CT (computed tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) were two of my favorite imaging modalities. Mostly because they involved technology so heavily and were able to produce images of the inside of objects or people with such detail.

@thereare4lights137 Год назад

@Apoapsis , I used to service those CT scanners as a field engineer for a major healthcare company. I can tell you, it's the advances in the digital detector technology that's making this type of imaging take off like a rocket. Combined with huge advances in parallel computing, it's pretty amazing the resolution you can get now. I've seen radiologists minds blown when they see an X-Ray that shows bone striations so fine, they look like wood grain. Feel old yet?

@TianarTruegard Год назад

@@thereare4lights137 I was lucky enough to go to RSNA (the medical imaging conference in chicago if you don't know) in 2013. It was quite cool to see a lot of the then new imaging technology on display at Mccormick Place in Chicago.

@hellomark1 Год назад

That's amazing! The fact that they can scan and print with such accuracy now, makes me wonder how long it will be before they can scan and then print in different mediums concurrently so you end up with a working replica out of the printer.

@toyfreaks Год назад

My grandparents had a Swiss music box in the form of a cage with two automaton birds who would chirp song and conversation while swiveling, bobbing and flapping their wings. It was an utter miracle to me as a a child, but even moreso as I try to figure out now how it operated. As soon as your corvid moved its head, I got a rush of that feeling... knowing that this is not real, but the artistry of it makes me overlook that. Can't wait to see where this goes

@thebrewsky26 Год назад

Hey Adam, the next time you're in New Zealand visiting Weta Workshops in Wellington make sure you visit Zealandia (also in Wellington) as I think you'll really enjoy all the birds that they have at their wildlife sanctuary. New Zealand has some beautiful, rare and unique birds that aren't found anywhere else in the world. If you ever get the chance to meet Sirocco the kakapo you'll be in for a treat as he is pretty famous worldwide after the BBC tv show "The last chance to see" with Stephan Fry made him world famous.

@cleverusername9369 Год назад

I think calling it a corvid is most accurate because it's the size and build of a crow, but has the heavier, more substantial bill of a raven. Perhaps it's just a particularly lean raven?

@TheGreatAtario Год назад

When I was a kid, a crow randomly showed up in our back yard and wouldn't leave. We soon determined that he _couldn't_ leave - injury. We gave him food, sprinkler-showers, and company for some days (weeks?), till he was well enough to fly away. Edgar, we called him.

@ZeFroz3n0ne907 Год назад

I am from Alaska, and I taught myself to caw like a raven, I tried cawing at a couple of ravens and the female, which I named Beakie, and now, 2 years or so later she still comes (most of the time) when I call for her, been tryin to get a video but she seems to know somethings up, lol. But, she will fly over, look down at me then she will tuck her wings and do a barrel roll and fly off, it's so cool.

@monkeytoes90 Год назад

Screws are now generally made by "roll forming" deformation, rather than cutting, due to manufacturer tooling lasting much longer, resulting in the higher core density of the screws you see here!

@0Rookie0 Год назад

Makes sense too as to why the heads "seem" to shear off since it's the interface between the high and low density. Really cool to see it in color!

@pembroke9792 Год назад

The doorbell will be fun when you get round to it. A raven model would be good as the common raven stands approx. 25 inches high, that's roughly up to your knee. The larger size might make it easier to work out where things go before you animate the smaller model.

0:13 I feed crows and ravens treats. Recently moved near some wild turkeys, they're fun too (and they sometimes make a noise like a rock skipping on ice, first time I heard it I was fascinated)

@airplayn Год назад

I've worked with RC servos for 50 years and this is not an optical encoder but just a carbon potentiometer. You can see the triangular(ish) sweep arm that drags a copper pad across a circular carbon resistor. An optical encoder would be better because the carbon resistor wears and occasionally needs to be cleaned of residue but too expensive for anything but very high end servos that can't fail due to wear (like the ones you pay hundreds of dollars for and are used in the most expensive large scale models).

@techman2553 Год назад

Imagine if these scans could be done in a minute or two, and the equipment was cheap. A repair shop could start by scanning the item and inspecting it from the inside out to quote for the repair without ever taking it apart. For example, trying to refurbish an old vintage tape deck that doesn't work. You could scan it and see that the belt snapped, or a gear fell off the shaft, or a wire is broken, etc. If you have a laptop with a flakey or failed screen, you could scan it and see if the flex circuit at the hinge is broken or loose, or if a capacitor or battery is swollen, or if there are other types of component damage. Very cool !!

@0Rookie0 Год назад

Taking it further even, automobiles. A dystopian world where your ball joints aren't to spec anymore and the machine determined your car's suspension sits wrong and you'd don't pass inspection. Or, a bit less grim, space! Rockets would be checked for irregularities before reuse. Would save lives, money and repair/replacement time. If this got to the level where we could see ribbon cables and their continuity, oh my, now that would be something!

I agree about the love of the corvids. I have crows in my area, and there have been days I was walking to work on a chilly, foggy, glooming morning, and I heard the familiar caws from a tree, but couldn't see him. In movies, they seem to use that as a bad omen. For me, I'm not exaggerating when I say I felt a calm come over me, because I felt like he (or she) was watching out for me.

There is a group (murder?) of crows that hang out on the power lines in front of my house every day. Years ago, my neighbor started cleaning out her bird cages and dumping that mess on the lawn in front of her house. Naturally a few crows showed up to investigate. Now, there are hordes of them living out there. At night they fly into the nearby fir trees to sleep - and, well, produce more crows. But, come sunrise, they are out on the power lines, squawking away, ready for food. Any food - including the dry cat food that I put out for the various stray cats in the neighborhood. Boy, they will fight each other over a little Meow Mix. The cats are massively outnumbered, so they don't even think about messing with them.. 🤣
