VIDEO BLOG: THE ARM PROJECT (user: octavian) [ The video is in HD and shows what seems to be someone's basement, rigged up in what seems to be the set of Dr. Horrible. There are wires hanging from the ceiling and a large table. The camera shakes a little while someone readjusts it. Finally, someone comes and sits in the frame; there's a flash of silver, but he moves too fast for it to be seen clearly. He's wearing heavy duty goggles on top of his head. He grins. ]
"Hi. So. I know a lot of you have been following my blog and that's awesome. I got the arms to move like you saw in last week's video, but truth is ... guys, I've been lying to you. I am way further ahead in my production than I let on. On the other hand, you'll be seeing a lot more of me in the papers. I'm... embracing my destiny, I guess. That means no more videos until I rig up my lair to mask my signal---shouldn't take too long, but I'll be busy and all. This video was gonna be a real short good bye and a thank you for everyone who watched and sent feedback and encouragement, but it didn't feel right to sign on and not show you the finished product."
[ Henry backs away from the camera. The arms he's been working on for the past few months---large and metallic---are holding themselves up, all four of them meeting on his back. They end in long claws, trailing down to a point, and they all move idly behind him, keeping the weight from settling all in one place. ]
"They work! Aren't they beautiful? It's all a little thanks to you---but mostly me, being the genius and all. Almost all me. That said, I've gotta run. I have a lair to move into." [ He reaches up, pulling the goggles down over his eyes. ] "Doc Ock is back in town!"
[ With that, a claw snakes toward the camera, snapping open and obscuring the lens with the built-in camera at its center before the feed cuts. ]
