In this episode of SHANKS FX we have some fun with the wonderful weirdness of "Magnetic Putty". We used this Putty to create a lot of the Black Hole sequences in our film SCI-FLY. We now take a 2nd run at experimenting with this "strange matter" to see what new images & sequences can be achieved!!!

Magnetic putty is a lot like ferrofluids (Trippy Watercolor and Ferrofluid Photos July 5, 2012): magnetic particles suspended in a mixture. In the case of magnetic putty, it's thicker: you can mold and shape it with your hands and it will maintain its form.
But put it near a magnet, and look at it come to life. A bit creepy. Totally trippy.
