With the quality of work that was put into this video I am at a loss as to why Michael Smith is not working for ILM. Michael Smith created a transforming New Beetle and that was awesome but all it did was transform. This new video shows a Nissan Z power drifting around a corner and then transforming into a great looking robot.
I cannot understand why a guy with that much talent is not working with the big boys in Hollywood. Take a look at the Transformer’s timeline of Michael Smith’s work. He also links to some other great Transformers videos.
I own a Sanyo Xacti C4 and it has served me very well for a long time. I would like to have a camera to take with my on my kayak trips. I think I have found the one I want. It was announced the other day on Gizmodo and it is the Sanyo Xacti E1. It is waterproof up to 5 feet down so no scuba diving but it would go well mounted on my kayak so I can make videos as I paddle.
