Thanks to our moderator, Steve (Hot_Georgia_2004), we now have a very unique and entertaining computer animated simluation of a Toyota Prius pulling off some quite dangerous stunts. Like to see? Point your mouse over to this video and get ready to be amazed. Enjoy!

You've been fooled Jason! Steve is laughing at us Prius owners right now!

I liked the Ramones start better than the front-heavy crash and death of that poison green Prius... My soon 2 year old son liked to watch it ten times in a row though...

 

Hmmmm, he had me going at the beginning. But then, as the car was approaching the ramp, I wondered, "hey, waitaminit! Steve doesn't drive a Prius!"

But it was very funny, nonetheless.

Now you have to do videos for the Insight and the Honda Civic Hybrid, Steve!

 

Steve, I have a video idea and I'd like to know what you think of it. If it is made well, perhaps it would be something we could show to the media!

Using the same scene as the high-res image I requested from you yesterday (Chia), the sky is smogy and there is little grass on the dirt-full ground. Then the headlights of the Prius turn on as the car boots up. The smog clears, it gets brighter out, and then grass begins to grow on the Prius like a Chia-Pet. Finally, grass grows on the ground as well. Then, perhaps, the Prius drives away.

Like the idea? And is it feasible? If so, it has to look very realistic.

 

Yeah, comeon Steve, fire up that Maya. We want more videos!

 

ooo, as the prius drives off it could sprout grass from the tire tracks,
Cheers,
Steven

 

I was wondering about any ideas to indicate the Prius is booting up as well as headlights turning on. The sound of a car engine starting just wouldn't be right!
It would be nice to make it exiting in some way.

In the last video I really didn't mean to pick on Prius. I also have made an HCH (Which is parked at the ramp) but it isn't made as accurately as my Prius.
I considered stopping production half way through but decided to finish it anyway.
Instead I made it crazy with the Indy car and jet engine sounds etc.

Since the Prius is more developed and it really doesn't take too much imagination to crash a car...well the two just went together!

 

Well, at least you have the little Prius-soul going upward to the heavens afterward, with a nice piano ditty. I forgive you! :lol:

 

rofl... i liked how the prius just happened to have extra bounces at the end so funny XD

 

FYI
I've decided on a new storyline and began making props last night.
Hint: It's not a day at the races or green growing things.
What I can say is that you Prius owners will love it!
Sorry no more hints

I have ALOT of work to do so it will likely take a couple of months. <_<
