A Toy Train in Space
My 4 year old and his toy train 'Stanley' are inseparable, like Calvin and Hobbes. He's been attached to him since he was two, and they play, sleep and do everything together. On Aug 24th 2012 we sent 'Stanley' to the stratosphere in a weather balloon with a HD camera and an old cell phone for GPS. He was recovered 27 miles away in a corn field. This video documents the journey from liftoff to landing. I animated Stanley's face to bring him alive the way I imagine my son sees him. The video is really from the train's perspective.
