How To Become A Rube Goldberg Machine Builder

This 4-Year-Old Makes Paper Dresses With Her Mom -- And They Keep Getting More Amazing
www.huffingtonpost.com: I started following @2sisters_angie a little over a year ago. Back then she was posting the typical stuff you see from moms on Instagram -- pics of her daughter at the park, pics of her daughter eating breakfast and lots of photos of her daughter playing dress-up.

Benedict Cumberbatch Performs MoCap 'Smaug' In Making Of Video

Clayton tells THR that to get started, Cumberbatch came to Wellington, N.Z.'s Weta in early 2012. "Using our motion-capture stage, we recorded his performances, which focused on the conversation with Bilbo sequence. Having Benedict in a mocap suit was lots of fun -- for us, and hopefully for him, too -- and seemed to help get him immersed and home in on the character."
