Is it summer yet?

The semester is drawing to a close: less than one week of lectures remain. That doesn't mean people around here aren't already a little punchy. One of my friends, Mike (an english professor), stopped by the Dirt Lab to see what was going on. He immediately saw the narrative potential of the Em2 stream table. So a few of us set about re-creating a dramatic scene from the Lord of the Rings:

_MG_9337

Which got me thinking of another scene:
_MG_9338
Give us the halfling, she-elf!


_MG_9339
If you want him, come and claim him!


_MG_9340
As the riders set foot in the Bruinen, the waters begin to rise...


_MG_9341
...and churn about them...


_MG_9343
...sweeping them away downstream...

_MG_9345
...amidst a roiling cloud of water and foam that resembled horses.

_MG_9346
With their enemies thwarted, our heroes can rest and recover in Rivendell.

This probably isn't the geekiest thing done with an Em2 stream table, but I think it comes close.
