The Loch Ness Monster Makes A Guest Appearance

I love it when people are able to bring ideas from movies to life in the real world. The original Motorola Startec cell phone was based off of a communicator from the original Star Trek movies. Sony Pictures in Japan has taken another step in this direction, bringing part of a movie to life in the real world.

This has to be the coolest movie promo I’ve seen: to plug their movie The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep, Sony has rigged up a projection in Tokyo Bay that provides an eerily-realistic Loch-Ness-type monster.

What you’re seeing in the video wasn’t added after the fact—that’s actually what it looks like in real life. The feat uses a water screen (carefully sprayed water jet) and exact light projections to create a giant monster in the bay.
