Killing Mosquitoes With Lasers

I loved this article.

Un freaking believable.

Not only can the laser target a mosquito, it can also tell a male from a female based on wing-beat.

Damn!

I want one of those :)

Elephant painting

Is this fake?
What do you think?
I'd say it's a bit too much for me... Unless I see it repeat this performance.

UPDATE:
Although quite amazing, the video is genuine in the sense that the elephant is indeed applying paint to paper by herself. However, she is not consciously painting a free-hand (or free-trunk) "self-portrait" from memory as some commentators have suggested. Instead she is "creating" the portrait by using a practiced series of brushstrokes that she has previously been taught. (Click for the article)


World Builder

This award winning short was created by filmmaker Bruce Branit, widely known as the co-creator of '405'. World Builder was shot in a single day followed by about 2 years of post production. Branit is the owner of Branit VFX based in Kansas City.
