I’m gonna be famous for Star Wars for nothing else but this bread! It was a little gag which was incredibly successful, everybody thought it was CGI. We moulded up an inflatable bread so that it was deflated underneath the liquid and then we slowly inflated it and sucked out the liquid with vacuum pumps at the same time to produce this bread coming up and forming. You wouldn’t believe how long it took to actually perfect that one, that little tiny gag in the film. It started off with the mechanics of getting the bread to rise and the liquid to disappear, but then there was the ongoing problem of what color should the bread be? What consistency should it be? Should it have cracks in it? Should it not have cracks in it? It took about three months.
Divers Stumble Upon The Biggest Fish They’ve Ever Seen (an Ocean Sunfish)
by Anna Swartz
Divers off the coast of Portugal got a huge surprise when they happened
upon this GIANT sunfish … and then swam alongside him for a while.
In this video, first shot back in 2013, the huge sunfish seems totally
unbothered as awestruck humans swim beside him, trying to take as many
pictures as possible to record this rare and magical sighting.
Sunfish usually weigh an average of 2,200 pounds,
making us humans look tiny when we happen upon them. But their huge
size poses no danger to us — sunfish eat mostly jellyfish and
crustaceans…
