The second of a short series of videos which aim to take a look at some of Leonardo's inventions, their portrayal in the Assassin's Creed games and the reality of the machines using factual evidence via his notebooks and recorded thoughts. I was very fortunate to work on this with the extremely talented Nykolai Aleksander, be sure to check out and follow her Leonardian blog on Tumblr.
