We went along to my favorite This Happened so far last night. Great venue in the bfi and some wonderful projects on show. Thought i’d share my highlights:

Glassworks (who offered me work experience back in the day, which i turned down, like a chump) showed their experimental project,
HeartWorks. Designed as a learning tool for students, Heartworks is a very accurate simulation of preforming and reading ultrasounds on the heart.
The team talked about the process they went through to model such a complex internal organ, and how the project may be changing the business that usually produces CG graphic for Film and TV. I think it’s pretty amazing that this team have been allowed to go off and do some thing totally experimental and so utterly different from the company’s main offering.



My highlight, however, was definatly michael cross and his scarily lowfi machine that allows you to walk on water. He igorned the fact that walking on water is impossible, and went and made it anyway. The result is beautiful, scary and rather brilliant.
