Cool off

[tobinjim]

It's hot out here at LegoDude's college summer camp, so I made this little fan to keep him cool. Set the movie to loop and you too can stay cool!

 

(Unfortunately for LegoDude, when the conference ends, and he goes on stage to close things down, he's going to be melting in the heat, lose his footing, and get sucked into the fan... sort of a LegoDude meets Mr. Bill ending to a fun debut of LegoDude! )

 

If anyone wants the project, I'd be happy to share. Need to zip together a package so you'd get the decals (cookie cutter and transparency map). This represents about two hours of work, so things like on/off knob and (d'oh!) electrical cord are left to you to do! For my needs this fan is 'good enough' for the size and focus of the closing piece.

Jim,

Working my way through the forum and realized I hadn't seen your post.

 

Sounds like trouble is in store for Legodude!

 

Questions concerning the fan motion...

Did you use an expression for the rotation?

 

Any tips on how you did the effect?

Nice effect, Jim. I just might use your technique in my current project. Whare do I send the royalty checks?
