The China Helicopter Tournament tests a pilot’s skills by making him perform the amazing feat of opening five beer bottles with a helicopter. During this segment of the competition, pilots were given eight minutes to open five beer bottles with an opener tied to the helicopter’s skid. Although this may sound ridiculous, it does take a lot of finesse to even open one, as the video below shows. Sadly, the pilot did not score any points for opening that bottle as it was damaged in the process. There are many other unique and extreme ways to open a beer bottle, but this is certainly the most over-the-top one.

Mind Blowing Indoor Projection Mapping Takes Educational Donors on a Virtual Voyage
Using the back wall
of the theatre as a surface, the projection transformed a block wall and three
wooden columns into a hidden brick room, an underground train station and the
window of a flying craft that took guests on a journey from campus to campus.
All culminating with amazing digital fireworks display, to celebrate the 50th
anniversary of SFU.
The 3D renderings were created in Cinema 4D
placing special attention and level of detail to the campuses spread across 3
cities. Because of the complexity and resolution of the landscape and
buildings, the average time to render the each frame was almost 20 minutes.
While most companies
think of Projection Mapping requiring large budgets and projecting onto entire
buildings, the SFU successful indoor mapping is a good example of how it can be
successfully scaled down whilst keeping the experience engaging and very
impacting.
As the institution celebrates its history, using innovative and
ground-breaking technology was a way to look ahead and bring a futuristic touch
to their fundraising campaign. Moreover, this was a highly creative concept
integrated into a fundraising campaign, that captivated everyone who was part
of the event.
