I love how it was themed. Most Rube Goldberg machines are impressive in their own right but this took it to another level! Good job guys.

Sleep 😴

[@programmerqdev]

So much creativity has been put into all of that goldberg machine just to get a portrait picture taken.

[@dar1n_fgp]

Thats what a rube machine is, trying to make a simple task very complex

[@PneumaNoose]

I LOVE the look of like "uhhh... what now?" at the end hahaha! Total disbelief and utter joy all at once lol. AWESOME JOB GUYS! Your work was well worth it!

[@Hevesh5]

I'm just curious... what type of camera and lens was used to film this?

[@2DHouse]

Hey Havesh! This was shot on a Canon XF300. It's a pretty crappy camera in my opinion but it's all we had. We used autofocus. And it has a built-in lens

My. This video got me jaw-dropping for 5 minutes ! Considering it lasts only 4:12, that's not bad at all.

i remember watching this when I was younger, and watching this now it’s still very satisfying!

OMG! That is TOTALLY AWESOME. However, I just use a remote trigger. Not as eloquent, or as sophisticated, but I don't have to go through an hour of set up each time I want to take a selfie! Seriously awesome work, guys. Just amazing. I am in awe!

Thank you, Gary.

[@sterlthepearl1000]

Awesome video you guys with 2D Photography.There are some things I didn't understand how it was gone. Two of those things I'm curious to know as of now is how does the printer make a printed photocopy of that women? And how did they get Mario to jump twice on the tv screen as Mario was sliding across behind it?

[@2DHouse]

Hello Archer, The printer was triggers earlier, just after the cog was rolling - before her photos was taken, something hits the enter button on a keyboard, which starts the printer to print a queued up file. The mario was similar. The basketball rolls onto another keyboard and lands on the spacebar, playing a movie that was perfectly timed to the mario guy sliding across. The movie is one we made and used an image of the studio to match up with the spot in the rube goldberg machine and animated the action of mario jumping.

too bad no paint splattered on them. what about the goggles?

[@theflipflapchannelcreatedb8160]

I sentimentally feel very relaxed and entertained at the same time while watching this! Ah, the memories of this video are totally unforgotten.

[@AFVClassics]

I JUST SAW THIS ON TV... I HAD TO LOOK IT UP, SWEET!

AWESOME MACHINE YOU GUYS ARE BRILLIANT!? Did anyone else catch the "OKGO" - "This too shall pass" reference at 2:38 :D

[@yerk55]

+Ethan Angelos And just before that was Honda's emblem, likely a reference to Honda's classic "The Cog" Rube Goldberg commercial.

Reference to the end of the music video for Ok Go: This Too Shall Pass.

This is AWESOME!! I like this way better than the more fast paced ones that you can’t even see what’s going on.

[@ArmtekGizmos]

This is a good one! I love all the different stuff you used too for this. It's so well coordinated, and i love your studio too, Just one question..... HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO IT IN ONE SHOT?....I cant even pull it off!?!?!

[@flyjoey1]

Everyday examples of physics that when put together becomes an almost mesmerizing experience. So much thought went into setting this up. I get an eye ache just thinking about it. Loved it!!!

[@christianxarrieta]

I've watched this video ever since 2011 and it took me 'til the beginning of 2016 to realize the Ok Go reference at 2:38

[@bwalko5674]

That's also a reference to the Honda "the cog" commercial I think.

[@2DHouse]

Thank you! We have been quite busy actually. Although for the record, not a single piece of gear was harmed (believe it or not). :)

[@disorientedstudios2089]

The camera angles are amazing for the video. It appears as if this was all done in one shot.

[@2DHouse]

I hear the reference loves you, too. It's seen you watching while it's 69'ing with the Honda cog reference and wants you to know that it's cool. It's into that sort of thing. You should give it a call and you can all reference stuff together. The names of Apple™ type products or just simple homages to Rube Goldberg machines. It's all good. Then the OK reference turned the heat up and opened a bottle of red wine. Things really started to get weird so I left but if you want to freak, call..
