Daft Punk Helmet

Harrison Krix of Volpin Props spent 17 months creating the Daft Punk helmet worn by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. The result? Pure awesomeness!

Is that like steam punk? It seems just as pointless.

No it is not steam punk. (insert a rolly eyes here)
Daft Punk is a music artist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daft_Punk

He should sell them. I would buy one as well.

It's 17 months later and no one is talking about Daft Punk anymore. Nice job! You best get started on those Deadmau5 masks while you're at it.

Rocky, you are actually wrong... Daft Punk just created the soundtrack to the new Tron movie, and Daft Punk actually makes good electronic music, as opposed to Deadmau5 which is the equivalent of Jersey Shore in the music industry. I don't listen to electronic music that often, but at least I'm not making bold ignorant statements like you are...

Amazing tenacity and resourcefulness. The fact that he stuck with it all that time is truly astounding. How many of us have projects sitting around that we walked away from in a quarter of that time.

Frau - not quite, Daft Punk is a duo.

Rocky - Daft Punk are one of the biggest electronic music acts in the world, & have been for years. Deadmau5 is very much in their shadow.

Yeah, flagella, I want to really believe you that I'm "wrong" about Daft Punk. DO you really think anyone cares about the Tron movie? Go pop some E and dance until you drop.

Nice work. I would also like to purchase one of these.

@Rocky: Let go of your ignorant anger - it's killing your soul.

wish it was Dot approved.

@Scooter - yes. That would be a spiffy helmet. Most helmets do not offer illumination. There are a few helmets that have a small LED in the back that hook up to your brakelight. But that is it. A moto helmet with that much illumination would be neat.

I recall seeing the website (or a website anyways) of the guy who created the two helmets for Daft Punk. If you pay the (if I recall correctly) $16,000 and get permission from the band (and their lawyers), you can get your own too.

But for those who don't know, without Daft Punk, you have nothing.

(and one could argue they initially re-popularized the synthesizing sound like TI loves)
