Daft Punk: Thomas helmet in 4 months!

This is an improved version of this one.

This video documents about 4 months of work in creating a replica of Thomas Bangalter's helmet from Daft Punk. The piece has over 350 LEDs, can run over 4 hours on a single charge, and the matrix is capable of being updated on-the-fly with a custom programmed iOS app.

For more info on the build and process, check out this website: http://volpinprops.blogspot.com Also, for those that will ask, visibility is quite good! Music by Madeon - "Pop Culture"

Someone is quite a capable fella... Nicely done details, as well as the engineering part. Must be great feeling once you finish creation like this. =)
