Time-Lapse Colossus Assembly
Over two days, the massive Colossus sculpture was erected on the midway at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011. It reaches an impressive 70 feet into the sky and features three hanging boulders that rotate around the central support.
We filmed this time-lapse to show you the impressive feats required to put together an installation of this scale.
You can see Colossus at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011 May 21 & 22.
Meet the Makers: Todd Williams
Todd Williams is jewelry maker with a fine hand, a sculpture maker with a wit, and a performer trickster. He might spend 200 or 300 hours perfecting one of his incredible Land Sharks but the real work comes when he brings them out to play. His sculptures are animations that interact with people at events like Burning Man and Coachella by chasing each other through the crowds. While the chassis of the sharks is a remote control monster truck, you can’t just drive a Land Shark, you have to become a Land Shark.
