The Professor has finally gotten around to releasing the movie about making a Dragonship Figurehead out of pink insulation foam. The staff at the Museum of Dubious Authenticity worked tirelessly to produce this documentary. No actual dragons were harmed during the filming.

Great dragon, but I think you're getting even better at making interesting videos.

Thanks for both.

It's all in the wrist. I exercise my wrist by lifting drams of Jameson. Of course, speeding up the video about 4x might help also, but I'll continue to exercise my wrist.

The music immediately got the grandson's attention: I turned the laptop so he could watch, and the questions started....

1) Can you do that Nana?
Me: "This is being done with a CNC Machine... I don't have one."
2) How much does one cost?
Me: "After you get all the programming, and the machine itself? (A decent one, I think) about $5,000 - $6,000."
3) Pause....
4) Well I'll give you $23 towards it when I get my wallet!

P.S. Amazing video and execution, Oliver. Nicely done!

Not much to give. All the video was shot with my iPhone, and the video put together in Apple's iMovie. Apple's Keynote app (like Powerpoint) was used to animate some of the text and the opening and end titles, which were composited with other video in iMovie. I just used a green background in Keynote so I could drop the background out like they do in the big time movies. Making the video was a much fun as the actual project.
