Re: [Phys-l] amazing instruments



Friends, do take the time to check out http://www.animusic.com and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animusic .

I must say, the thing I find most surprising about this thread is the repeated mention of "fooling", "fake", "believe", etc.

These animations were _never_ intended to deceive or be taken as "real". We're just looking at very nicely crafted animations, at least we are if we give the grainy, fuzzy version on youtube a miss and go look at better quality clips on the company's website. It's just very cool that anyone could design such animations -- a whole lot more fun than a single bouncing ball, I think!

What the individual who constructed the hoax (the _claim_ that these were videos of real machines) intended, I hesitate to even guess. But that has nothing to do with the Animusic company.

I can't believe anyone would believe it -- the appearance is soooo artificial.

bc saw months ago.
