Sadly, this isn't actually "real", it's about 3 sequences stitched together

i love it! a lot of things point to modern artists (like in the Peppers' video for Can't Stop) and the sequence itself ofcourse:
(Fischli and Weiss did a sequence of about 15 minutes i guess)

I watched the clip Sprog and I couldn't see what the guy was on about

Yes you could use the bars to change shots but the piano looks identical in both shots and the light behind the curtain is a well known optical ilusion
The light is identical to the one hanging at the top and I get exactly the same effect in my nylon shower curtain it shifts the light left and down due to the folds and reflective properties of nylon mesh
I believe some magic tricks use it

The makers of the machine do say it had to be done in one shot

http://syynlabs.com/projects/applied-physics/rube-goldberg-machine

And althought I think it was probably cut and shut (due to it being so amazing ) I don't agree with the guy that he has proof

And even if it is faked its a bl**dy good fake  :Claugh:

It did say somewhere that it took lots of takes to get it but I would love to meet one of the audience as they are the only ones who could say for sure

If you every get a chance watch the version (in full) that birt posted. It doesn't have the same production value but it is epic. Has fire and everything haha! I really like the cog (probably better than this :/ ) but it is old now.



I would argue it being one shot. I wouldn't deny that they did do it in one shot but it does look like they may have taken the best versions of a couple of takes and put them together.

Yep I think your right Spud they say they got it to work 3 times out of something like 80 attempts and the cameraman only got it all on one take

So probably one half of one shot looked good and the other half of another so they joined em in the middle  :Claugh:

But I still like to believe it's true but thats just me  :Claugh:

The Honda one I know is all one take, as perfect as you see, they also filmed it something like 300 times before it all went according to plan. Honda have the money to throw at things like that, thats why their motorcycles are also the best, but most expensive on the market, they are very very much perfectionists.

Wow! =D I have to agree with you Jason, and then exaggerate somewhat - That is the best thing I've EVER seen! Better than all the best clips from all bocking, free-running, and action movies put together! =D

And I immediately thought of the Honda advert... which was then posted underneath! ^_^ It made me VERY happy! ^_^

Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it.
      The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know.
      Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all.

I must live in a bubble as I've never seen the Honda Advert before. Both made me smile, and think of family guy where peter gets the breakfast machine.

In your defense, the Honda vid is several years old.
