speed II of Fontana California
challenged us to do everyday things

Francis our first challenge you'll see

not to use it
Oh guys are you ready so hard I'll bet

your house without using your thumbs
like maybe tying your shoes or playing
catch not illegally hi what's up what's
that
let's go what's that what do you think
is the most important scientific
discovery I think the most important
scientific discovery is electricity the
telephone gravity the TV because it
keeps you busy when you're bored the
artificial heart because it has a human
wire the elevator so the so the people
in wheelchairs don't have to go up and
down the stairs I think the most
important scientific discovery is not a
medicine because it helps a lot of
people the dinosaurs because they part
of our history and the giant lizards for
clocks because it's maybe have it then
you couldn't keep track of the time that
well zoomed oh right oh yes the second
one go holes up making a picture of
Rijal a tracing a shadow it's called a
silhouette the ad was sent in by Donelle
be of a packer wisconsin okay done cool
cool
here's what you'll need to make a
silhouette at home a person to be your
model and it's going to be my model
a lamp take the shadow of your models
head a crayon or chalk black sheets of
construction paper and colored
construction paper to mount your
silhouettes on okay our except against
the wall hmm
no top half of it i justa the lamp so
that shining directly an egg so you can
cheat a shadow of his profile on the
wall you may have to fiddle with a
distance between the lamp and the model
until it looks just right I taste the
construction paper against the wall so
it's covering Eric shadow using a white
grin I'm going to carefully trace around
Eric's shadow stay right there don't
move go around your head make sure to
not get in between your model in your
lamp or you won't be able to see a
shadow and make sure you don't rush or
the model won't come out right no Stan
be done looks like just like this
awesome as we cool
after you're done treating your model
you can go it on to your colored
construction paper and here's what your
silhouette will look like when it's
finished
awesome isn't it it's good thank you
here to the silhouettes of all the
rumors can you guess who's who
I don't think you yeah over here that
looks like Ricky Lee yeah a day I think
that one looks like five gems I can see
here hmm wonder who this could be
yeah yeah Elsa Krampus yeah um does this
one is Caroline
and this one is definitely okay try
making silhouettes of your family and
friends and then you can have your own
silhouette art gallery is cool oh my
first thought is I didn't know of all
fuzzy
my name is Jake I'm rubbing years old
and I do summations of my brother first
thing in claymation is to actually get
the claymation dies well first of all
you need clay and usually some sort of
wireframe didn't have the wire the arms
would stay up in their proper positions
and they would just flop all over the
place camera and what you do is you take
each frame individually and then after
it's run fast it looks like it's
actually moving really a big job for a
lot of people you only have to do one
frame at a time now I'm moving it in
baseball increments and now I will press
this button right here and snap one
frame cassius snap snap snap
now let's see if it worked the hardest
thing is actually taking the pictures
and not messing it up because when you
move it is made very little increments
very low and sometimes it falls over and
got to go let me do it then I'm going to
ask my computer and edit it all out let
me take you to my ex's Suites also known
as my bedroom and sit down I have my
hand on the mouse and right here what it
actually happens is I lift the camera
right over to the back of my computer
and so chip I install and then it would
appear here and whenever I want to take
a frame from the video and add it to my
sequence let's click that button right
there
add brain and then I could go here my
friends my very important document
at the end so it turns out that's when
the coolest part see what you've
actually done
the first claymation we ever made we had
a little wooden mannequin and we made a
little guy around it and we put it in
the dollhouse and we feel again frame
after frame of walking through the door
and going down the stairs people who
professionally do claymation can take up
to 10 weeks to do just 10 seconds we on
the other hand take up and they do 10
seconds but they do the walk smoother
hey Francis yeah Kenny why did the
cookie go to the hospital I don't know
because he felt crummy we got an email
from Melissa challenging us to make a
zoom vehicle that can run from one end
of the string to another using straws
three balloons paper clips paper rubber
bands and six inches of masking tape we
decide prints are through vehicles we're
going to use two tracks teams who gets a
new vehicle to the end of the string
first wait okay guys are you ready ready
let's go okay what if we took this straw
a piece of paper and taped it on to the
straw but cut it a little so it has kind
of a wing shape and put it on top of the
straw like Joanna straw like would that
make that yeah then we could bar though
yeah maybe we could put the straw
through see this string right here we
could put the straw through the string
like this if we put a balloon like one
balloon here rumbling hands boom both
off at the same time then it could go if
you let the balloons go watch your hand
it'll go for awesome away from the
balloon that's definitely cool I hope
that's right I was thinking that we
could go
and take that to the piece of paper that
we're using and then when we're ready to
race you let go and the balloon could
sh**t out the air alright put it just
put it right on it yeah okay that's it
it almost went and was pretty done but
maybe the second balloon will help maybe
we can take off the first maybe we only
need one straw we gotta hold out there I
didn't work no I think I think maybe the
balloon wasted all its air
yeah it was at the beginning turning
around so maybe we need something the
air coming out of the room was a little
force to push that long right because I
think it was just it only twirled
instead of going straight and you pick
it up pick it up okay we take a piece of
paper right then we fold it like this
and we put the balloon inside this so we
can take the paper to the straw like
this and we tape the balloon inside here
and we tape this to the straw then it
let's be a little bit samey like oh
that's a good idea it's like a little
pocket I'll hold the balloons like and
the air will get stuck because it'll
just go right through the gaps in the
paper in the bloom what if we made our
structure short sort of like a square
and we put the balloon inside of that
like there would be a square here in the
balloon would be here and then we could
put it back like this on it then when
the ants on the balloon goes oh it'll
sh**t on this and we could um push it
this way
then the air would sh**t on that pushing
this oh okay I get a gnashing the wall
of the paper but then how would we need
something to make the balloon stick
simple like that darn it doesn't work
because we need to get them to go away
with that
no this thing was a good idea of the
balloon yeah it's not working we need to
make this bigger what bigger need to
make like we need clean it yeah this big
I said the balloon gets bigger the
holder the language you put two together
so that's huge is it anymore
Aaron I think the balloon is just
falling out Danny oh all right okay
I think this need more room to blow up I
think we should put another balloon
because it's a Grubbs you know we're
gonna have more power
like it's gonna will you put one on the
bottom like we use the same paper clip
to hold both of them in place
yeah like on one Sam little bit all
right what if we totally tree started
with the new straw and everything what's
your favorite color um green my - okay
so what if we cut the end
Waldow bendy and a whole straw that's
sorted order
yeah and it's causing friction and we
just tape the balloon to the straw and
then we could let go over the balloon it
would and it would just sh**t the straw
so that would just because the structure
because the balloon keeps falling out of
here and it's also adding on more weight
and we don't really need it okay what if
we take one will paperclip this one like
up here and then one right here on the
bottom it's down below yeah that's a
good idea you can make a structure of
this paperclip to measure how fast the
air comes out on it so it should soak um
well okay here we go
you ready hmm I don't see why this isn't
working we should take the paper off and
tape the balloon to the straw and see
how it works
the simplest one we've had yet I think
it's going to work the back yes because
we really didn't need this structure for
traveling because we're using straw and
we got sick already race yet our balloon
has a straw connected to the balloon but
with the string through the straw
so the straw goes down the string and we
have a paperclip so not that much in the
blue now on your goo we have pretty much
the same thing
we have this bow with a parent to put on
the air friction you know and the paper
clip is also helping the balloon hold
onto the straw let's baby on your mark
get set go
Oh
