Title: More Balls Than Any Band
Post by: Cap-Z-ro on November 15, 2009, 09:48:51 AM

Read this first, then watch.  This is almost unbelievable.
Turn your sound on for this. 

This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of Iowa.  Amazingly, 97% of the machines components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of Bancroft, Iowa.  Yes, farm equipment!

The video is 3:25 minutes long.

It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see, it was WELL worth the effort.  It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.

Exactly - it's computer generated imagery.  Just a few more generations of CGI technology and it will be nearly impossible to tell the real thing from the virtual thing.

   Just search for animusic. They have two dvd's you can get
that have many different styles of goodies on them. Well worth
the $$. I have them and enjoy watching them over and over.
