Cool video! I had seen it doing the rounds on social media and I wasn’t sure how much of it was CGI, but after a little research it looks like it’s practical effects for the most part! That’s pretty cool.

I have a question - does anybody have experience using conductive thread in a sewing machine, or conductive thread brand recommendations? I would like to try this out soon. Thanks in advance!
