valeriane: alwayszebras: Originally posted on Pink Tentacle: Robotics researchers from Osaka University have teamed up with NTT Docomo and Qualcomm to develop a handheld humanoid phone that brings a new dimension to mobile communications. A prototype of the device — called “Elfoid P1” — was unveiled at a presentation in Tokyo on March 3. The Elfoid phone is a miniature version of the Telenoid R1 robot developed last year by a research team led by Osaka University professor Hiroshi Ishiguro. The current prototype measures 20 centimeters (8 in) long, is covered in a soft fleshy urethane skin, and has the same genderless and ageless appearance as the Telenoid. The control buttons are embedded in the chest, which glows green when the Elfoid is in use. Like the full-sized Telenoid robot, the Elfoid handset is designed to add an element of realism to long-distance communication by recreating the physical presence of a remote user. Equipped with a camera and motion-capture system, the Elfoid phone will be able to watch the user’s face and transmit motion data to another Elfoid phone, which can then reproduce the face and head movements in real-time. The current prototype is unable to move, but future versions will incorporate tiny motors and parts made from shape-memory alloys, allowing the Elfoid to move its eyes, mouth, neck and arms. Other features will include a temperature sensor, accelerometer, and an easy-to-use voice and gesture based interface. The developers hope to have a fully operational Elfoid mobile phone within five years. Nope. No no no no NON NIET NEIN NO NOT EVEN IN MY NIGHTMARE! CREEPY!!!!

un court métrage que j’ai fait pour le concours de court métrage de l’exposition Tim Burton de la cinémathèque de paris
tout est en stop motion, y compris la partie théâtre d’ombre
j’ai tout construit de mes petites mains, filmé avec un canon 7D puis animé et monté avec after effect et final cut pro.
c’est mon premier (mais pas dernier) travail en stop motion.

a short movie I made for the animation contest of the Tim Burton exhibition in paris
everything is stop motion even the shadow theatre part.
I built and animated  everything myself and everything was shot with a canon 7D then animated and edited with adobe after effect and final cut pro.
this is my first (but not last) stop motion work
