Possibly, yes. Thought I´d like to imagine it was all done without.

From the editing it looks to me like:

1) they built a significant subset of this machine.
2) they ran it in sections (the placement of the band in different locations suggests cuts).
3) they pieced it together with some kick ass digital editing (this can account for some of the syncing).
4) they added more "stuff" to the machine in post, to make some parts look more interesting.

The "we don't like computers" line at the end of the making-of seems suspiciously like a smoke screen.

[edit] what would be mind-bendingly kick ass: If the whole thing, including the making-of were green screened.

Possibly, yes. Though I´d like to imagine it was all done without.

@2:27 somebody seems to be holding the curtains shut, which makes me think they just HAD to have some bits where they could compensate for timing issues! (Similar to the Spice Girls in "Wannabe" which I was told had a few cleverly hidden bits that were edited later.) Edit: Can anyone find a Making of Clip for Wannabe?


Otherwise this would just be too mindboggling.
Or CGI of yourse.

Nice CGI.

incredible. simply incredible. I was going to post some Rube Goldberg devices myself, particularly involving fire, but... that's not getting topped for a while. brilliant, simply fantastic find.

So I'm guessing this was take number nine, due to the eight broken TVs.


If they got that with taken nine I'd be stunned! Take nine hundred maybe

Awesome video.

I can sympathize with the sentiment that this reform isn't going to be as meaningful as single-payer, but most of what she says about the bill that's coming down the pike is a re-hash of the false talking points Republicans use.

The bill requires insurance companies to insure everyone, regardless of whether they have a pre-existing condition or not (aka guaranteed issue). To prevent people from gaming the system and only buying insurance when they get sick, it mandates that everyone buy coverage upfront.

Becuase forcing people to buy insurance might be a big problem for people at the lower end of the spectrum, the bill includes subsidies that set caps on the percentage of your income you will have to spend on insurance premiums.

For people whose employers don't provide health benefits, there is a new, national "exchange" where you can buy private individual plans. These will be subjected to a number of regulations governing minimum levels of coverage, a minimum amount of money the company has to spend on actual benefits, and it will allow the individual customers to function as if they're part of a group pool (which allows for lower rates).

And that doesn't even cover all the reforms to reimbursement that are included that are the real changes expected to drive costs down...

It's a lot more of a rube-goldberg device than single payer would've been, and it is ultimately a far more moderate set of reforms, but it ain't crap by any stretch.

That's actually one of the most enjoyable Rube Goldberg's I've seen. Good job!
