Cool new way to paint the walls of a subway.

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://englishrussia.com/?p=1288">Frame, by frame. The walls produce animation as the cars pass... too cool!

That's pretty cool actually.

 

[xanis]

That's really cool.

Just think of the other possibilities here. Amusement park rides and even the highway blacktop could be used to give drivers messages about impending stop lights or a road that will be narrowing.

It'd be funny to paint the walls showing a train going the other way on fire. Or maybe the serene dolphin scene and then BOO! large Marge or something.

Here in D.C.

Between..iirc...between Farragut N and metro center, and then metro center and Gallery Place / China town they do this....they've had Target and Microsoft ads up for months in the tunnels

They already do this on the T in Boston - I recall specifically on the Red Line somewhere between Davis Square and Charles MGH.

I remember they had this when I was a kid. Not quite as elaborate. More like animated graffiti, but still cool to look at. This was on the brooklyn bound D train from grand st to dekalb, if I remember correctly.

 

[Mrvile]

Holy cow that's awesome! I wonder how they did it and how long it took?

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

Niiiice!

I thought that Chicago had trains that had those new projectors attached to the outside so that they shine advertisements on the walls as you drive...maybe it was somewhere else, I dunno.

But that video's great, considering it was all hand drawn.

 

[antyler]

man that is really cool. thats a good idea.

 

[Eli]

That would most likely make me sick.

<--- Can't read or focus on anything while moving

Umm the PATH train (in NYC) has had that for a while - WTC to Exchange Place

Umm..take the Metro?

Hell, today was m last day and I saw it again....

It's one of those MS artistic dealies and one of the Target adds where everything is round and changes into something else...

and strange enough I remember it having dolphins in it

Yeah I think it might be between Central and Kendall.

Or it could be vinyl/paper printed graphics. Similar to the material used on highway billboards.

That is really cool but it isn't anything new, I think they have been doing that for years

Probably, but most of us don't live near a subway system. So for many this is a first and only experience.
