Not sure why this is its own thread but that Pong game kind of had a Game of Life-feel to it.

It's really not that hard. You just need a few images with approx. tonal and hue values and computer software will figure out the rest. |

Heh. My thoughts exactly - the video was amazing but those dogs are  |

Am I jaded in thinking that despite all the effort and awaesomness this might have be touched up after the fact to make it look better for Samsung?

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

I think the "FIN" at the end probably was, getting sheep to form single file lines in the absence of a fence would defeat even the border collie, I think. But that's the shame of modern CGI, isn't it? Nothing you don't see with your own eyes is reliably "real". If that was faked, maybe all the distance shots were.

Agreed. It brought a smile to my face. |

The whole thing is much more enjoyable when you just assume it's all legit. |

Border collies are awesome.
That video makes me all :shobon: I adore border collies. My friend and I have three-year-old border collies from the same litter ( http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=249129&id=741564339) and on the occasions when I work them in a public place I'll usually have half a dozen passers-by standing around watching them at work. They are awesome, spectacular little dogs who adore learning and working. To keep her mind active, I teach new tricks to Sielighe (my one) all the time and if she doesn't pick it up inside a couple of minutes then I'm probably the one doing it wrong. That said, I do suspect that some of the shots were composites: done with the sheep and dogs but over two or three passes. The single file thing is not impossible - sheep will naturally move in file on occasion - but they tend to bunch when the dog is working them, so I'm not so sure on that one, either. Edit: I'm absolutely certain that the centre-line in the pong game are tethered. Still amazing work on some of the drives, though. |

The Fin thing is easy have little portable pens and have the dogs chase the sheep into the pens that spell out the word.
