Hey James And The Hacksmith Team, Do You Think You Could Do A Nightwing Or Robin Project, Like A Robinarrang Or Tim Drakes Bo Staff Or Nightwings Electric Batons?
To people that just look at the batsignal from the outside it might seem kinda lame, since they think all you did was use some big light and put a shape in front of it but we underdtand the work that went into this and how difficult it is to create what you have, amazing job.
@@A_VorteX Yeah, I probably would just do a much lamer one or wouldn't even try. Doesn't change the fact that it's still lame though. I mean, I could spend ten thousand hours mastering the way of defecating (whatever that means) but mastering the way of defecating is still lame anyway.
Except that someone already achieved this 20 years ago, and it was wayyyy brighter and they didn't have to adjust the camera settings, because it didn't look like sh#$.....
I feel like you guy can teach anyone technology-related science. As well as inspire someone to break the boundaries between fiction and reality on a grand scale. Hats off to you guys.
I suspect you are not getting a crisp image because of doubling up the lens. Your large lens seems to have too long of a focal length for the tube length, hence the leds being in focus rather than the image. Get that same size lens with half the focal length and you won't need the two part lens messiness. An internal aperture can increase sharpness further if needed. It also doesn't help that your light source is so far from a point. Put it further back and it will work better. I would recommend a commercial led stadium light rather than diy. You can get a 250k lumen stadium light for around $1,200 which is what I would use if I made another one myself.
Since the video came out we added a linear actuator focusing system that solves all the problems =) It didn't make it into the video though since we were on a tight timeline -- hoping to show it off on Instagram at some point when we get the perfect cloud!
@@masterofallgoons Yeah, but assume like they have one more logo inside it as shown in the video 😜. But without going deeper, i just said about it's outer look
Dude that light refraction explanation while showing us the actuall light travelling using smoke is definitely better than any illustrations you can see in science text book
As someone with ADHD who learnt this in high school, it took me quicker to understand in those short minutes in this video than it did to read a textbook and have a teacher explain it!
In the initial design if you guys have added the rails to focus the image just like it is done in a compound microscope when the light was turned on, so it would be far more focused than it is by the way this project was great❤️
@@NotVeryNormal259 Because politicians decided that they want to use the war in Ukraine as an excuse to hurt Russia, even if it hurts us in the process and throws innocent Ukrainians into the meat grinder the a proxy war they're encouraging, rather than doing the moral thing by encouraging them to surrender.
The end result was decent, I saw it when I was out on a drive with my parents I immediately thought you where up to something when I saw it Keep up the amazing content
I didn't watch the entire video so I'm not sure if they mentioned it, but I'm pretty sure that in one of the movies, someone said that the batsignal only worked in the *polluted* skies of Gotham so unpolluted areas are hard to shine light onto.
Wow, this is one of the most well-produced videos I've seen from this channel, and that's saying something. Whoever filmed and edited the first part deserves a promotion.
Gotta say, it's really neat to see the Hacksmith Gang go out and show off with just random people around town, and even better is that they're recognized!
I feel that the final results would be much better if the original OG Batman logo was used as its bigger which would have a higher contrast due to surface area and less light bleed. I think you should try that one also for comparison.
man, seeing that kid take genuine shots at how this thing might work is so cool to see in such a young mind, I couldn't've even thought to ask why or how at his age, its big, cool, and exciting yet all he shows is curiosity, love it
As a former lighting guy for events this is quite common using a “LEKO” or source four fixture using GOBOs, metal or glass images. For best results you need a flat surface perpendicular to the light source. Nice project though!👍🏽💪🏽
As a regular viewer of your channel. This is by far one of the most entertaining video you've ever made. The whole video just gives off a vibe of a group of friends just hanging out, doing fun projects and vlogging it. I'm really hoping to see more of this kind of formula in future productions.
NEEEEERRRRRRRDSSSSSSSS!!!!! It's really great to see everyone celebrating and to see the faces of all the people in awe of what you've done. Good job, everyone!
Of all the technically unnecessary projects I've seen in my life, this might just be the coolest. It just makes me happy. Which I suppose is ironic, because Batman.
The way you guys can visualize the very technical problems and ideas you are dealing with makes the videos so much more enjoyable because not only ami watching a cool thing, not only am I learning about it, but I also feel like I actually understand what you guys are doing! Absolutely marvelous job!
This is so cool! I love seeing that this is actually something that feasibly could have been done in Gotham, and I wonder if the older style logo with more curves and less points would actually show up better? Plus with less light pollution in '50s gotham, that probably helped as well!
A upgrade would be some kind of lever outside the barrel that can move and focus the bat plate instead of shoving the hand inside everytime! Great job! Very cool!
Something that could be used to explain why it’s always visible in comics is because Gotham City is like… the worst city ever so it has constant smog clouds
The sword used by jet stream Sam from metal gear rising revengeance has an interesting quick draw feature where it fires a blank at the hilt to quickly unsheathe the sword and strike an opponent. The game is old but the sword is very cool and would definitely be able to be recreated irl. I would love to see it on this channel.
Hands down my favorite RUclips channel. You guys legitimately inspire people. Thank you for everything you’ve done the last couple of years. I was introduced to your channel through my love of Star Wars and you just keep killing it. Nothing but love from me 🖤
The Zoolander references were absolutely a few of the funniest jokes I've seen on the channel. Love to see you pander to a little bit older audience with the slapstick every once in a while. Keep it up hahaha.
It's interesting how this channel has started to make its content more and more focused on teaching what they're doing and less focused on them actually doing it (i prefer this way btw) Before, they just filmed everything, edited it, and uploaded it, but now, they dedicate time in their videos to make the concepts understandable for us
I loved this episode it really brought back the feeling of the old hacksmith vids with just a few guys really making it real and love the team for this episode really brought the og hacksmith feel to this project.
That little kid is absolutely adorable, he is asking all of the questions that an engineer would ask and his mind is incredibly advanced for his age! One day he might work for you guys lol!
Really surprised by how much I enjoyed this episode. I haven't really enjoyed too much of your channel; I usually just fast forward to the end just to see the results. It just seems like your production quality jumped immensely and seems like you were showing quite a bit more of the genuine problem solving. Felt a lot more real than some of the more scripted videos, really great work.
You’re not enjoying the episodes because you’re not watching the entire episode like you did this one. It jumped in quality because you actually watched it though. Lots of Hacksmith videos have what you described this episode to be, but you don’t watch them through to realize that.
Lot's of things that could be improved (optics especially) but it's a very nice project ! Well done ! If you ever want to modify it i'd suggest taking a look at profile projectors, lot's of things you could adapt from that (being able to change the focus by changing distance between lenses especially). Also, watch out for planes and such in your search for good clouds ! some people i know got yelled at by the police by using less powerful more focused beams of light that apparently "hit" a plane (nothing harmful, pilots just asked what was this light, mid day).
@@hacksmith in theory, wouldn't it be beneficial to have the LEDs on an adjustable platform to get better distance focus (LEDS would be easier to move then the large lens), and also have the smaller internal lens do the same PLUS be able to tilt which would allow for extra adjustment AND tiltshift. no idea what the payoff to clarity might be for clouds, but would surely help on flat surfaces
Leds would be the hardest part to move! Remember the liquid cooling! We put the batman logo and magnification on separate focusing mechanisms and now we have full control - the main lense stays fixed :)
This is what I love about these guys they're able to find the irl science for tech from games, movies n comics. They probably could build a star trek warp core if they tried hard enough😂😂
I keep coming back to thinking it must be somehow possible to do the traditional Batsignal, because shadow puppets and shadow performance art are things. Quick! To the Bat-drawingboard!
This is actually good, it got me asking my cousin to look at my phone to look at it Edit: 36:45 okay dude, that's too wholesome for a Batman project, but I appreciate the camera man being proud about the crew working together just for this one project
This might be my favorite video on the channel now. The build process felt super casual and it was really entertaining watching you guys work. I definitely don't mind longer uploads like this either. Great stuff guys, keep up the good work as always.
