As you can see, we’re big fans of marble and complicated machinery videos here at The Loop (check out Dave Mark’s “The amazing Marble Mountain machine” post from earlier today). While this one isn’t a continuous shot video (so it doesn’t qualify as “Rube Goldberg-esque”), it’s still fascinating to watch and imagine the ingenuity of the creator to come up with the tricks shown.
Magnets and marbles
Elegant and brilliant.
I love how they shot this so it appears this all takes place on one huge table, but each scene is really detached and the pieces are reassembled for that particular scene/choreography.
