Honda - The Cog

[@plateshutoverlock]

What's impressive is that this was real, and not a CGI. They had to film this in two parts because the set wasn't big enough (look closely at the floor when the muffler starts rolling at about 0:56 and you will see the splice), but it is a functioning Rube Goldberg machine.

[@borbetomagus]

And it took about 100 takes to film. One can imagine the sense of relief when it all worked as planned -- though I'd think the jubilation would be caught on camera!. 'The Way Things Go' (1987) is a similar (and much longer) example, but there are noticeable edits. 'Making of the Honda Cog' is good. Some mistakes are sorta funny, but undoubtedly aggravating to those involved. 'Japanese Rube Goldberg Contest' is also quite captivating. Undoubtedly, many other examples out there.

[@groovytrev]

Thank you. I knew it was two takes put together but didn't spot where the join was.

[@grthorn3461]

This is NOT real I don't care what ANYONE says.

[@Sajaia92]

Yeah, 3 tires rolling uphill is very real, and the muffler rolling so many times from a tiny touch, when its not even a circle shaped, yeah, very real.

@@premeditadeds6304 Why? Explain to me, I still wanna see arguments like mine!

[@premeditadeds6304]

@@twbug I guess i'll just say this. It's mostly real camera work with some parts edited, like the transition into the separate rooms. The crew explained that the commercial would require a few separate rooms, for certain parts to be shot as the setup was very long. The wheels, that rolled upwards were weighted on one end so that they would roll about a third of a rotation. Those two things are commonly questioned about

[@twbug]

@@premeditadeds6304 There are other things, like the glass, that you have to touch, and then it opens. The thing was standing still at the glass so why did it move again after the glass rolled down? It doesn't even look realistic to me, just to say, it's animated.

this is the most incredibly creative rube goldberg type creativity i have ever seen really just incredible vision and creativity here wow!!!

The GONG from the "muffler tube" resonates because it's actually a "RESONATOR". It balances the frequencies and exhaust from the engine to muffle the noise.
