Continuing this week’s surprise theme of creative paintball usage, I stumbled across this example of art-imitating-life-imitating-art. I posted a link to a similar video on our Twitter a while back, which demonstrates a machine called the FacadePrinter, which can propel paintballs at any given wall with minute accuracy, creating massive impromptu urban works of art.
However, this version is hands-down much cooler. I’ve no idea how they did it and what sort of sick training schedule they must’ve had but, you can’t deny, this is quite something alright!
PS – this definitely comes a close second.


Wow, that’s incredible what they’ve done!
Still prefer how the mythbusters do it 😉 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nUYg8b9UCQ
Not art, still awesome.
Such a waste of paintballs 🙁
Sorry guys…But for me it is…
Yeah! But I have to agree that it is such a waste of paint balls..
How about let them fight instead and have it recorded on cam… Let’s see live actions…
Yeah! Your right Sam! Let’s see some fighting and action! Love reading blogs about paintball! Love this game…
That’s stuff is quite hard. Great art and good results! I salute the person who got this idea. Now, paintball is not just for fun and it can be an art as well.
Saw the video on youtube twice and I can see that they did a lot of preparation for this Marilyn Monroe portrait. What happen to the finish product? Did they display it in a museum?
I like this video. Not the usual video you can see on youtube. Plus, it is really interesting. Because of this video I want to try it out as well if I can do it on my own. LoL
The picture above the video is already a work of art. Look at those men who are ready to aim and shoot. I don’t want to be in front of these guys. I might get covered with paint.
Amazing! I wonder who the person behind this master plan is. He might be a diehard fan of paintball though I hope this art can be done by a single person and not a group so it will be double interesting to see.
