  I''m talking about the dinosaur on the building.  On that building, moving images are being projected some sort of way.  Just wondering if anyone knew anything about it. ;  I wondered about that too when I saw the trailer. A few different Google searches don't turn up anything useful. Let me know if you find anything. My first guess was some sort of LCD thing in every window, but that would be crazy. Maybe it's projected somehow. Who knows.In other news, isn't Scarlett Johansson just about the most beautiful girl you've ever seen?   [edited by - andromeda on February 13, 2004 11:49:36 PM];  It''s probably projected. Actually using LCD screens for every window would be uber-expensive, unless somebody has come out with an LCD screen in a window that''s super-cheap in the time that I was living in a cave in Afghanistan.

I like how at the end, you couldn''t hear what Bill Murray says to her at the end.  I find in every relationship, there are some elements that pop up from the movie.  Well done.On a technical note, I really don''t know how they made that building.  I really want to go there though. ;  You can see through those windows also. How is it possible to project onto a piece of glass if it goes straight through?  The glass may be tinted, but what about the people in side the building?  It has to be plasma or lcd, phosphors inside the glass, being heated by electrical currents? ;  Blue Screen >.> But instead of a screen, make it glass. Make sure the tolerance is high enough to account for differences in color between glass panes and to ''skip over'' the people inside. Set opacity to however wrong a pixel is from the actual blue, and you will see the people.*shrugs* ;  Now, the next question is, where can I find the materials... ;  Paint + Digital Camera + Computer ;quote:Original post by smart_idiot  Paint + Digital Camera + Computer   Um, have you seen the picture?
