Pleasing to watch, whether or not you’re a Star Wars/LEGO geek.
Model maker Francisco Prieto sez:
Assembly of the Lego set 10179 from Star Wars Ultimate collector series in stop motion in 3D. Created using 3ds max and V-ray. A very long work over 3 years, modelling all the pieces by myself. and rendered frame by frame.

Continuing today’s mirror theme, here’s a cute video for French musician Yuksek‘s single ‘Off The Wall’ (geddit?), produced by SoLab.
The making of video shows how it was done by running the same sequence, minus the mirror effect.

Two seals were discovered on Tramore Beach, Co Waterford (above) during the past 24 hours with gunshot wounds.
From Irish Seal Sanctuary
The Irish Seal Sanctuary was horrified to learn that adult grey seals were coming ashore dying from bullet wounds to their heads. The first, a mature bull seal had been shot with what appears to be a .22 bullet to the head. Had this been an authorised shooting under license from the NPWS [National Parks and Wildlife Service] it would have been shot with a weapon capable of killing it outright.

Change to prayer passed at Seanad to add silent reflection. At last some change at my initiative after years of giving out. More to come!
