Over the summer our friend Rick (paintball mini gun) Galinson had to fly down to Argentina for two weeks (it was winter there) for a commercial shoot. He used one of his custom boards with a multi-core program that could read pulse inputs from an RC receiver to control the light colors and animations. Well done, Rick!

Have a look.

    Those are really cool ads. Makes me want to buy a Sony Zed-3!!

    It's interesting to see that the"cool" guy in the commercial is a (typically good looking) potential "maker" type.

    Yeah, all the guys I have ever met who can wield a soldering iron have looked like fashion models.

    Keep in mind that the snowboarding shots were done on the top of a mountain, at night, in sub-freezing temperatures. It was a pretty grueling shoot.

    I know I'm a weird one, cause a trip like that sounds a lot like something I'd pay for during my time off from work

    I've got the Xperia Z and Z2 but I don't think I would stick the phone in the sea with half a grip on it to take a photo! That's what GoPros and the like are for, at the end of a pole and hand strap. But the phones are very nice and waterproof and full HD display plus 20.7MP/4K. Even runs FTDI serial nicely too.
