Marzo's Building Marriage Proposal To Lisa (VIDEO)

Thursday, October 6, 2011 0 comments

This is a cool video but I am guessing it was done with effects in post production. Quite entertaining.

Actually it is technically possible to set something like this up and it has already been done before (search on YouTube for 'building tetris') but it is a major pain to install and requires near complete access to the building (unless the building was designed with completely centralized lighting control).

Unless this type of thing was already setup for some other event the Bank was running then from a logistical standpoint it does not seem reasonable for this to have come together for such a simple thing like a one-off wedding proposal.



Not an original idea... it was also done in the ending of the 1995 movie Hackers with Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller. See at 1:07 below:

HackersI prefer attaching 'files' to 'e-mails', too. Though in my day we searched on Altavista using Netscape, after waiting on that dial-up to connect out Pentium II powered computers to the internet so we could create our Geocities websites. But before that we used telnet to archie.funet.fi over a 1200 baud modem and posted on usenet... but waaaay in my day you were considered cool if you wrote your website on Notepad.. and we were considered "Elite" if we could dial into other computers with our phone handsets, using cradled receivers that were attached to our phone lines and computers.

Here's the comic by Matt Silverman:
