Mythbusters Goodies Part 2
Welcome to Part 2 of Mythbusters Goodies. In Part 1 we went over some neat areas of Jamie Hyneman’s M5 Industries website. In this installment, we’ll take a look at the eclectic and weird things on Adam Savage’s website, adamsavage.com. Follow along, children!
Adam’s website is divided into five main sections (plus an email link). We’ll do this logically and cover each section in turn.
General
Adam’s website is mostly cool things he’s either made or collected over the years, and the general section basically introduces this, and gives you some background on the inventive and funny Mr. Savage. There isn’t a lot to see here, so let’s move on…
Commercial
Adam has worked in the Special Effects industry for years, and this section displays some of the work he’s done for various companies. Among them are a laser cut acrylic crane for First Union Bank, a torture device for Pizza Hut’s Mr. Bill, and a half-scale model of the Mars Viking Lander, which I particularly like, since I’m fascinated with Mars. He also talks about his work on the Coca-Cola commercial “Contraption” which was nominated for a Clio, but I can’t for the life of me find a version of it anywhere online *sigh*.
Design
This Section showcases Adam’s skill in sculpture and design. He has some great work here, especially if you have eclectic taste. I like the Frankenstein Biker Heart, Dolphin Spine, bionic eye, M1900 9-barrel, and of course the map of Middle earth.
TV Show
The TV Show pretty much just has some shots from the show. Nothing new to see here so we’ll move on.
Film
Adam has worked on some of my favorite films, like Star Wars, Space Cowboys,
A.I., and Bicentennial Man.
The eye-checker and robot pieces are two of my favorites from Bicentennial man. The eye-checker is extremely well done.
He’s also made some tiny sets for films like Space Cowboys and Titanic. Adam also showed off his fake radiator in one of the Mythbusters special.
Well, thats all there is to Adam Savage’s site. There isn’t a whole lot to write about, because its all visual! Go check it out, its worth the time, and if you did follow along, I hope you enjoyed perusing his collected works as much as I did. Stay strange people!
