Nice!

 

[Amaris]

That was neat! I was hoping for a bit of a payoff, though, like a bonk on the head with a boot that it's time to get up.

Rube Goldberg would be proud.

Pretty cool. Shame it couldn't all be filmed from one camera angle with no changes, but wonderfully done anyway and I'm going to assume they didn't use the cuts to reset stuff and that it is all one continuous take albeit from different cameras.

Some of those shots must have taken a lot of takes (esp. stuff like the egg roll, the darts and the ball bounces) because the inherent randomness involved. I dread to think how many times they must have restarted the contraption. The guys setting it up must have had infinite patience!

If you liked this one, there's that Honda advert from a few years ago that did something similar.

Can I ask what was with the chess board? I assume there was an explanation for its movement and forfeit etc

 

[RoJoHen]

I assumed it was magnets...somehow.

 

[Kibbin]

ah, that bit looked a bit fake to me and the stuff like the slinky (which I could never get to go down all the stairs) made me think the thing would defiantly require several takes

 

[Snaploud]

It should have ended with checkmate.

 

[Kibbin]

That is what I assume would happen with a computerised chess game

Nice!

If you liked that, try this one out. (You may need to wait a bit for it to load completely.)
