MythBusters’ Adam Savage – Dodos, Maltese Falcons, and the Art of Obsession
June 4th, 2012 |

MythBusters co-host Adam Savage gives a fast-paced presentation on personal obsessions. Savage explains how his fascination with dodo bird skeletons eventually led to his designing of an exact bronze-cast replica of the titular statue from the 1941 Humphrey Bogart movie, “The Maltese Falcon.” —– Adam Savage speaks at the 2008 Entertainment Gathering in Monterey, California. This program was recorded on December 12, 2008. EG is the celebration of the American entertainment industry. Since 1984, Richard Saul Wurman has created extraordinary gatherings about learning and understanding. EG is a rich extension of these ideas – a conference that explores the attitude of understanding in music, film, television, radio, technology, advertising, gaming, interactivity and the web – The Entertainment Gathering Adam Savage has spent his life gathering skills that allow him to take what’s in his brain and make it real. He’s built everything from ancient Buddhas to futuristic weapons, from spaceships to dancing vegetables, from fine art sculptures to animated chocolate — and just about anything else you can think of. The son of a filmmaker/painter and psychotherapist, Adam has been making his own toys since he was allowed to hold scissors. Having held positions as a projectionist, animator, graphic designer, carpenter, interior and stage designer, toy designer, welder, and scenic painter, he’s worked with every material and process he could get his hands on — metal, paper, glass …

ALL OF THE REDSTONE AWESOMENESS.
i like how when i talk about complex things, one thing leading to another, etc, etc, things i would like to do down a continuous path of obession, people say i talk too much and think to much. yet everyone is praising a guy like this here. just saying. or perhaps this kind of thing is attracting other nerds. not everyone who likes mythbusters is a nerd though. its not about me i think its about society needs to appreciate our thinkers and nerds.

Drunk Tank. Thanks Jack.
00:31 I don’t know why, but the text just makes me laugh every time.
what i would do to look at his creative projects folder
I know how Adam feels about his obsessions, though I haven’t quite gone to his level of creation. I do a lot of papercraft work and I’ve been getting into using foam for creating costumes, specificly an Iron Man one. I got papercraft templates modified for foam and began my work…and it’s gone crazy from there. Some days my mind is going at 1,000 miles a second building and deconstructing pieces, wiring and lighting it. While I’ve never sculpted something that crazy, I know the obsession he has
I wish I could buy one of those being sold on ebay, they look like the real thing and are even wrapped in the chinese newspaper.
Am I the only one who noticed how wrong his Maltese Falcon replica looks? The head is all wrong, the face looks way too sharp, the wings shoulder aren’t as high as they should be and overall it doesn’t look fat enough. Then again he said he was no sculptor but to allege his’ was the most authentic.
Those keys are for launching shuttles not icbm’s. Just saying.
To be honest, I’ve spoken English as my native language since I was a kid and I even have some trouble hearing everything Adam says when he goes at full speed.
Adam, hope you get the chance to read this so you will know, you’re not the only one out there who experiences this extremety of OBSESSION.
I meant to check out co-own.co
I have the Translate Audio option ON* and it just translated “Maybe I could make my own dildo” ..wroooong word! xd
(*I’m Mexican and I do know English but I still have some problems at listening people talking kind of fast)
When you subscribe to situational ethics the righteousness of everything, from boiling babies to poisoning children with mercury to cluster-bombing clinics to irradiating tumors and commuters, is relative. The worms, by now, have finished with Carl Sagan as he’s up to his pits in arms—face-down in a piny box…
No,not quite. Check out Tim Minchin.

No, brain-crack is where you fixate on ideas addicting you to thinking about them preventing you from doing them, not where you go to the extents he did to achieve his goals.
he is definitely a hoarder but at least it’s in a pic file.
Adam Savage, defiantly addicted to brain crack. Dftba.
Not necessarily. What he presented there was his desire and determination to get what he want. Not something that an IQ can supply you.
I must say that is a very cool looking falcon.
im from malta (if u dont know where it is, it is under Sicily) is the falcon named for our country? thanks
