How Bad Do Microdermal Implants Hurt?

Shows (also) for engineers

Yesterday I went with my family to see the show BBC Walking with Dinosaurs, a wonderfully well done and impressive, which has attracted the attention of children and adults.

Very good scenery, with surprise effects (plants and flowers in particular), good audio with the reconstruction of various types of prehistoric roars and bellows.

But the most impressive part was certainly the life-size reconstructions of some of the most famous dinosaurs, created as a remote-controlled robots ( animatronics). Movements very realistic and plausible, but only limited by the size of the stage and forced to frequent reversing lack credibility.

The entire plant stage, directing, lighting and sound, the set of technologies for the realization of the dinosaurs and their remotes, the perfect coordination between real actors, actors drones and special effects. This is the kind of thing that would be worthwhile to experiment with our engineering students (I think of Eng. Film, mechanics, computer science, electronic, management, etc.).

would have been very instructive to organize a session at the Polytechnic where creative people had been able to explain how the show was made. Too bad not thought of before!
