Agents of Absence

we've been doing clear resin casting lately, and part of me wants to make a mold of some of the amiibos and do a translucent casting with an led in it

Keen

like the walmart clear mario... except light up

oh wait. no. they did gold

Keen

and today, silver

phantom42

i saw a clear one somewhere. it may have been some random artist

we've done LED sculpts before (no transparent resin). they come out awesome. our friend does light up stones with LEDs (with transparent resin).

Keen

@phantom42 Can y'all grab the NFC chip out of the original, and have the LED powered by the NFC'ing process?

Something like that is how the light up Skylanders work, and it was snazzy.

phantom42

possibly.

LED lit Mega-Charizard

Keen

nice

people have been asking her to do amiibo-type figures for a while. we wouldnt sell these though. might be fun just to play around with

Wow. Deadpool has already wrapped.

Keen

They have been filming for a while.

Although... it's not due for a while, is it? I thought it was next year..ish.

phantom42

Just under 8 weeks of filming

Feb 2016 release, I think.

I spent a total of 6 weeks on the set of PotC. In that time, we filmed maybe 15 minutes of final footage.

Keen

huh?

phantom42

Granted, much of that was reshooting from different angles and such

Keen

You do filming, and you worked on Pirates of the Caribbean?

phantom42

2:24 PM

I was an extra on PotC 2/3. Lived in the bahamas for 6 weeks for it

Keen

huh, snazzy

phantom42

userpic is me on set

Keen

phantom42

just out of curiosity:

how many of you work in an office building where you have any idea how to get on the roof?

huh, this is a comics-book-show question but probably better in the main chat room :)

Keen

@MichaelEdenfield raises hand

The trick is, to keep going up, until you can't go up anymore.

The rooftop deck helps too

@phantom42 The errors in that article bug me. Scarlet Witch didn't introduce any magic to the MCU. Klaw is missing a hand in the comics.

Michael Edenfield

Yeah, I wish she had introduced magic into the MCU

phantom42

@Keen and did they change klaw's name in the movie?

Michael Edenfield

she really got nerfed.

phantom42

or is that a weird typo?

Keen

@phantom42 I don't think so. His normal civilian name was that, from what I read in blog posts back before the movie was out.

Klaw's his supervillain name.

i've always seen it as 'ulysses klaw'

Keen

Klaw (Marvel Comics)

Ulysses Klaw is a fictional character, a supervillain that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is depicted as a human physicist who has been transformed into solid sound, and who wears a sonic emitter on his right wrist as a prosthetic device. He has often been shown in conflict with the Fantastic Four and the Avengers and is an enemy of the Black Panther and Ka-Zar. The character of Klaw is featured in other Marvel-endorsed products such as arcade and video games, animated television series, and merchandise such as trading cards. Andy Serkis plays the character in the film Avengers...

> In Fantastic Four Unlimited #1 #1 in Ulysses Klaue was the son of Nazi war criminal Colonel Fritz Klaue of the Blitzkrieg Squad led by Baron Strucker. He was sent to Wakanda to learn their secrets by Adolf Hitler. After World War II he moved back to Belgium and later anglicized his name to "Klaw," and raised his son with tales of Wakanda.
