you don’t think that the Sky Tower was itself a parody? It’s a copy of the 32 or so Sky Towers around the world, but mostly of course, its a pretty good copy of the Jetson’s Tower. I though it was a total lame-duck piss-take for years, until i actually went to Auckland and...
After the Wellywood sign is erected, we should also have a faux Eiffel Tower and a Statue of Liberty, both of which will be a clever satire of their northern hemisphere counterparts. We should not erect an original structure, like Auckland did with the Sky Tower, because that would be a bit...
Roger apl, will do. Actually, i don’t think that is controlled by Wellington – its an AKL thing. Look for the ‘Off’ button – probably under one of those random volcanic cones you have…..
Lyle Lanley: Well, sir, there’s nothing on earth Like a genuine, Bona fide, Electrified, Six-car Monorail! … What’d I say? Ned Flanders: Monorail! Lyle Lanley: What’s it called? Patty+Selma: Monorail! Lyle Lanley: That’s right! Monorail!

A quote from the link to the video: “Projection mapped onto the interior of the Wellington Townhall using the Pixel Addict server. All animation done in After Effects and Cinema4D. I created everything from the Steam Engine onwards, excluding the inky bit. All production was done in 8...
They had two 20k (I think) lumen Christie projectors. A pair of maybe the older model of these: http://www.christiedigital.com /AMEN/Products/roadsterS20K.ht m To put it in perspective a 5000k lumen projector runs around $5-7k for a standard 1024×768 res. Anywho, they then run a special...
That presentation at the Onyas – in the Town Hall – is absolutely amazing. I’m dumbstruck. Anyone have any idea how they do that? What sort of projectors are needed, and most importantly, what software was used to composite it?
And bizarrely, this is what Wellington has actually decided to do: http://www.stuff.co.nz/enterta inment/film/3426826/Public-spl it-on-Wellywood (the giant sign bit, not the huge statue of glorious leader).
