LOL ~ that post struck me as kinda funny.

The same kind of funny where a Mom is telling her child in a soothing voice, "sweetheart, leave the furniture on the floor."

Ya oughta put a few bandages on Bubbles before taking it back to school.

No explosion, no bandages... It's not good to give children's ideas smoke when there was no fire.

If you pause the film just right or advance it frame by frame you’ll see that Bubbles disappears two frames before the explosion.  (I was laughing too hard and didn’t notice them myself when I played back the edited clip).  The part of the clip that you are not seeing includes me walking up to the bear, picking it up, lighting a fuse and leaving the picture frame.  After several seconds of comedic timing, I tossed the bear back into the scene.  The blast is just a couple of table spoons of black powder in a yogurt cup; powerful enough to lift some leaves and make a nice flash and smoke.  In reality it made a “poof” sound.  I amplified the heck out of it to make it sound like a boom.

....
It didnt seem quite right. Though the overall effect was pretty convincing, especially if you only watched it once or twice. That and Im not that good at picking out modifications to video (what? Im not. Nothing wrong with that).

Still funny as hell.

Yea I tried that, I even went to his blog but still no go.. I don't have firefox or anthing else installed to see whats up. Forwhat ever reason it just 404's.

The http://hallbuzz.com/images/2007/nov/bubbles.png picture on the blog is a red x for me too. Yet all the other pictures work fine. Might be some glitch with IE.

OK Eskimo,
 What a great way to start a Monday.

I think Eskimo is really Bill Nie the Science Guy!

So I showed Brigitta’s class the clip today.  I had mild concerns that some of them might get a little upset; little kids can have a real emotional connection to inanimate objects like stuffed animals.  The clip plays; the bear is sitting there, and then the explosion…  I don’t think I have ever heard a class laugh so hard or loud.  It was pure mass hysteria; so much for empathy.  Then I showed the clip of Brigitta blowing up and they laughed just as hard.  I ended with a PowerPoint presentation of Bubbles Photoshopped into a variety of places across the world; they liked that too.

Good, good stuff.

Very cute and fun, but you never know what lessons kids or anyone will take from anything.  Sure as heck some kid is liable to try something like that because he or she saw it in your film.  

Give your lawyer a heads-up.
