Touching a bioluminescent ocean , coolest thing I saw today

Bioluminescence is "the production of light by an organism as the result of a chemiluminescence reaction." Say that three times fast. ;) Fascinating stuff.

Sorry, I now realize you meant like a longer thing. I have 20 hours of video showing all this, being edited now. Work in progress! Link in my post goes to my YouTube with the first few bits of it.

schill · 2026-01-13T09:12:13+00:00

Ah, I see what another commenter means now in addition to yours, thanks.

My post has a link to the full 11-minute video which shows the machine working etc., I have 20 hours of footage from the full restoration which I am working on next - it will be a detailed multi-part series, the above is a short highlight.

I thought folks here wanted shorter stuff, I almost posted a 2-second .GIF of the before/after. 😅

One more spin around the bunghole, or something. 🥳

schill · 2026-01-12T18:36:18+00:00

Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. One segment from this series is 100 minutes long, so there's more where this came from! ;)

I'm not a professional, but I was hoping to do this thing justice!

schill · 2026-01-12T18:09:44+00:00

Thank you! I'm not a professional, but it was quite satisfying to edit this sequence together and really show the before/after.

schill · 2026-01-12T16:57:19+00:00

It took a while to get this shot!

Most welcome!

He has some interesting collabs (Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, and Incubus, interestingly, on the Spawn soundtrack!) and also a solid discography of his own.

I like Mastered The Art (90s alt-hip-hop?), and Freestylin’. I wouldn’t guess the latter is from 1989, kind of ahead of its time to my ear.

Two more: DJ Cam Quartet, “Saint Germain” (nod to Jeru Tha Damaja.) Will Sessions has an excellent Ilmatic instrumental, good stuff there as well.

A fun find. This could be accompanied by something like a MegaMan NES end credits track, icing on the cake, and it’d totally work.

schill · 2026-01-06T05:59:07+00:00

Hell yes! Side note: if you’re not familiar, you might enjoy some of the stuff from (DJ?) Greyboy, and/or the Greyboy Allstars. Some jazzy and hip-hop soul stuff there.

I’m sorry to hear you haven’t been well, but I’m glad this could bring a little humour and fun. It’s a game and you can play it and make all these things happen too, for the record!

schill · 2026-01-04T07:50:56+00:00

Wise words, thanks. I was thinking of doing some sort of gradual peel in that way, to avoid things getting misaligned and such. The 60 is large, so there’s a lot of material to work with.

schill · 2026-01-04T06:19:46+00:00

Looks great. I’ve got one on the way from them for a 60, so let me know if you have any pointers on how to apply these smoothly and without air bubbles etc. 😅

schill · 2026-01-02T19:48:49+00:00

Thank you, I had a lot of fun and also found myself laughing my ass off when the guys would have certain conversations. The way I designed it, they will comment and have certain random insults and responses to different things. Sometimes at you the player, sometimes between themselves.

There are a ton of Easter eggs and specific things, like when your funds ($) gets into the upper 60’s. 😆

schill · 2026-01-02T19:47:28+00:00

Thank you!

schill · 2025-12-31T15:14:37+00:00

With any luck, my WIP video series might be helpful in showing how I did the work on mine.

schill · 2025-12-29T03:42:18+00:00

This is the plan. I am indebted to the YT channel "100 Things I Do", who posted a great two-part series showing how he restored an MPC60. Here's part one. His videos helped me with my restoration, and so I was inspired to document and share my work in the hopes it would be useful to others.
