No. I actually made it using Blender (www.blender.org).
My avatar is just a shrunken version of this. I was kind of going for that sci-fi flavor though. It was a great show - even though I haven't seen enough of the episodes. Totally outside the box sort of thinking. I heard somewhere (NPR - I think) that the Lost creators got a lot of their inspiration from it. The whole way they put in this psychological dimension, with a new number 2 each episode for instance, I think opened up a lot of people's thinking regarding what was possible for TV. |
ohh ok, i saw you post it in the pics thread (?) not long ago, but i was just re-watching the prisoner, and in number 2's officey area, there's a camera thing going around which looks remarkably similar, without being coloured, and i thought it might have been a re-imagining!
looks cool anyway man!
yeah, such a brilliant show! I watched it probably 5 or 6 years ago, and i just remembered it and had to get onto re-watching them... also found out they did a new version in 2009 with Ian McKellin

Thanks. Definitely not the most complex thing I've done in that program but I finished it in one six hour sitting. And - yes - that's the pic I posted in the Pictars thread a while back.
I'll have to check that out - I heard rumblings it was being made but then the buzz fizzled out. I'll just rent it from Block-Buster after we're done sitting on Avatar and The Hurt Locker.
@ Lews: I'll have to check Zahn out. I'm relatively ignorant of a host of Science-Fiction authors outside of Asimov, Dick, Clark, Orwell, Vonnegut, and Huxley (and even less well read among those). The last book I read of pure Sci-Fi was Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. There was also a book which was kind of a trippy genre hopper with oddly interwoven short-stories called Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell - which I highly recommend.

I would only check him out if you're (like I am) a huge fan of Star Wars He's mostly known for writing (excellent, in my opinion) Star Wars novels.
Brave New World is without a doubt one of my favorite 5 books. Brilliant in so many regards. A mixture of technology, Shakespeare, and Plato, with a million other little ideas and a great and compelling plot. Fantastic.
You've probably read more than me, to be honest. I'm trying to get deeper into the stuff now that it's summer and I don't need to spend my reading time on novels for school.

lews, check out fahrenheit 451, by ray bradbury, if you like brave new world.
Really short, straight to the point, brilliant and underrated sci-fi/dystopian novel
I've done a lot of reading in my day, not for the last couple years though, but consider myself pretty well read at least in the classics... Havn't done heaps of sci-fi reading, and if it is sci-fi it's usually just dystopian stuff (like 1984, brave new world), rather than star-wars type proper sci-fi..
I loved Ender's Game by orson scott card, if you havn't read that: Tis more normal sci-fi, but with great plot and twists
