Continuing this week’s surprise theme of creative paintball usage, I stumbled across this example of art-imitating-life-imitating-art. I posted a link to a similar video on our Twitter a while back, which demonstrates a machine called the FacadePrinter, which can propel paintballs at any given wall with minute accuracy, creating massive impromptu urban works of art.
However, this version is hands-down much cooler. I’ve no idea how they did it and what sort of sick training schedule they must’ve had but, you can’t deny, this is quite something alright!
PS – this definitely comes a close second.
Now maybe I’m spending too much time on YouTube watching mindless short clips, or maybe I’ve just got a penchant for anything paintball related, but I think there’s something going on here. A few days ago I mentioned the frankly awesome Nissan QashQuai advert where giant urban paintball markers try to blast an otherwise relatively generic car, but today someone just sent me a link to this classic piece of advertising too…also involving enough paint to liberally coat the Forth Road Bridge. Twice.
However, by chance I stumbled upon a short viral clip which links the Nissan and Sony ads. Remember that advert with all the bouncy balls soaring down the hill, sound-tracked by Jose Gonzalez? Well I found a much better version!
