Got a new video up on the @512px channel.

The iMac G4’s unique design came out of technical limitations, but the computer quickly became an icon.

youtu.be/X0qBDnIgh…

@ismh loved the stop motion bit.

@apulianas Ah, thanks!

@ismh @apulianas Me too! The stop-motion is a really nice touch. (And that Mac is a perfect one to animate since it has so much Pixar-like personality.)

@manton Thanks! It took a bunch of work but I love how it came out.

@ismh I'm sure! Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes about work from animation director Richard Williams:

I’ve never understood why some people in animation are so desperate to save work. If you want to save work, what on earth are you doing in animation? It’s nothing but work!

@ismh Super cool time-lapse!

@Burk Thanks!

@ismh 😍 my first Mac. I miss it’s weird fan smell.

@eli My first, half-awake groggy thought: Why was he smelling the fan? :p

@JacksonOfTrades it is a totally valid question (also see that new mattress does the trick)

@ismh Fabulous video. Fabulous machine.

@eli What’s a little burning dust between friends?

@ismh How do you like that 50mm Sony lens you have listed in your gear?

@Mtt I’ve been impressed with the Sony stuff!

@ismh I’m considering that lens, but I have a crop sensor (A6500). Trying to decide between it or the 35mm for a cheap prime.

@eli It feels good, that's for sure.

@ismh I've just procured one and want to put it to work. Do you think it would make a better monitor or replace the guts with a Nuc Hackintosh maybe?

@joshua The neck makes anything like a that very difficult.

@ismh I haven’t started poking around yet so thanks@for the pointer. Regardless of its fate, such a sexy machine, I’m glad I found it :)

@Mtt With a cropped sensor, I’d probably do a 35. 50 is gonna be pretty punched in.

@ismh Thanks. Just ordered it from B&H. Blaming you if I don’t like it. 😁

@ismh I wanted to reply with a picture of the G4 iMac in my bedroom. But it was too dusty. It was Katie’s computer, but it and my TiBook are the only two “old” Macs I have hung on to. Well done on the video.

@ismh I never owned such a model but from design perspective it’s my favorite. Great video and great stop motion effects!

@ismh Great video. Loved the “making of EasterEgg” at the end

@Agiletortoise The Titanium is my all time favorite notebook.

@derekpeden Thanks!
