I’m a nerd

And a jealous nerd. I wish I could make cool movie props.

I was performing “DVR maintenance” yesterday and watched the first episode of The LL Cool J and Robin Show NCIS: Los Angeles and there was a part where the woman from The Incredibles Oscar-winner Linda Hunt scans Chris O’Donnell’s character’s eyes with a handheld scanner.

I’m pretty sure that’s the same scanner Adam Savage built for Bicentennial Man (LINK TO PIC). What do you think?

It’s nerdy that I knew about that prop being on his site… and nerdier that I got my own screenshots of NCIS: LA… but that’s a whole ‘nuther story about Maltese Falcons that I don’t want to get into right now.

The cool thing about Savage’s prop is that he built it from a Dunhill lighter and added lights nstuff. I wish I knew how to do that (and had a machine shop).
