looks like cgi to me and not the best of cgi either but hey im wrong a lot of times.
Extraordinaire
Turn your sound on for this. Read this first, then watch.
This is almost unbelievable. See how all of the balls wind up in catcher cones.
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!
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.
Don't try this at home,there must be 10,000 golf balls in this thing!

How did I get taken for a ride by posting a video of something neat?

Because I saw that video about 3-5 years ago and it's a computer animation. Just curious where you read all that crap about people building it ;p
There are 2 or 3 other music machine animations like that one, saw those too.
you know i was thinking i saw something similar, if not the same vid, 3-5 yrs ago too. ha
Whatever!
It's new to me so I decided to post it.
