This video was about the obsession of one great man, Adam Savage, most of the people know him as the Host of ‘’Mythbuster’’ on the Discovery Channel. He’s also a longtime special-effects artist working in many movie such Star Wars 1&2 and Matrix sequels.

So, he starts collecting data on dodo because he wanted to build his own dodo skeleton. He fills up more than 20 GB on his hard drive just with dodo pictures.

For this purpose, he wants to see one of the real props to make a laser
