...and be amazed!

The ad has NO computer animation... so they say...



(I'm still reading all the articles talking about it...)

Do you believe it?

[headcase]

There is one part that is computer generated. I won't tell you right now, but I would be curious to see what everyone thinks.

And no fair cheating.... aka reading the articles

[beam]

The rolling muffler looked fake.

...At one point three tyres, amazingly, roll uphill. They do so because inside they have been weighted with bolts and screws which have been positioned with fingertip care so that the slightest kiss of kinetic energy pushes them over, onward and, yes, upward. During the pre-shoot set-ups, film assistants had to tiptoe round the set so as not to disturb the feather-sensitive superstructure of the arranged metalwork. The slightest tremor of an ill-judged hand could have undone hours of work.

Utter silence, a check that the lighting is just right, and "action!". Scores of grown men hold their breath as the cameras roll. An oil can is tipped and glugs just enough of its contents on to a shelf that has been weighted with a Honda flywheel. Some valve springs roll into the oil and are slowed to a pace perfect to make them drop into a cylinder head assembly...

Speaking of good 'ole Rube Golberg my local high school tech club participated this year. (Yes I was on of the kids doing it) We got out of a day of school to head down to the U of I and show it off... it was great fun and I will definitly be doing it for the remainder of my high school carrear. Good stuff

my teche showed a film like that in class it was stuff like that(not carparts though) and it went on for a half an hour it was pretty cool to me it involved chemicals melting stuff and fire though.

One of em is the window thing also the nails,tires,and some other stuff i cant remember.A bunch of it looks fake.

[SlipknotX556]

Who cares if it was fake, still was cool to watch.

[Lone Wolf2]

Yeah it was pretty sweet.

[Ultimator]

The window thing was not fake. If you look under the little can thing, there are two wires on either side of the board. The can rolls and stops when it hits the window, sits on the wires and compltes the circuit to roll down the window.

The Way Things Go
A Film by Peter Fischli and David Weiss

DVD Special Features: Newly Re-mastered; biographies; scene access; interactive menus

Inside a warehouse, artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss build an enormous, precarious structure 100 feet long made out of common household items - tea kettles, tires, old shoes, balloons, wooden ramps, etc. Then, with fire, water, gravity, and chemistry, they create a spectacular chain reaction, a self destructing performance of physical interactions, chemical reactions, and precisely-crafted chaos worthy of Rube Goldberg or Alfred Hitchcock.
