Hoax: Máquina increible-Animación ? Tomada de
http://www.hoax-slayer.com/incredible-music-machine.shtml
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.
Comentario
A video that supposedly shows an incredible music machine created out
of farm equipment is circulating via email and online. The video itself
is certainly an incredible and inspiring piece of work. However, it is
a work of computer animation and does not depict a real machine made of
farm equipment or anything else. The video is a piece called Pipe
Dream that was created by Wayne Lytle, and Dave Crognale and
their team at Animusic,
a content creation company located in Austin, Texas.
The company has created a number of quite amazing 3D computer graphics
music animation videos that are available via the company website.
According to information
on the Animusic website:
Both the graphics and the music are entirely digitally synthesized.
Virtual instruments are invented by building computer graphics models
of objects that would appear to create the sound of the corresponding
music synthesizer track. Graphical instruments range from being
reminiscent of existing instruments to arbitrarily abstract.
Apparently, some unknown prankster saw fit to create
a fanciful tale to go along with the unusual video. Even the university
departments named in the message appear to be fictitious. There is no
record of the "Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory" or the "Sharon
Wick School of Engineering" at the University of Iowa or anywhere else.
According to an article about the
prank email on Iowa's KCRG:
The machine is supposedly a collaborative effort between the Robert M.
Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering
but if you search the campus high and low you’ll never find either of
those buildings. They don’t exist.
There is no need to malign this fantastic animation
by tacking on a foolish and totally fictitious cover story. Such clever
work speaks for itself and needs no embellishment. Moreover, the real
creators of the animation deserve credit for their genius. If you
receive this email forward, please let the sender know the true origin
of the "farm machine music" video.
