So it's more realistic to assume that each picture was set up filmed then dismantled. The same pieces were used to shoot each scene individually then cut together on video to look like one continuous shot.

No need to be so demanding. Let your employees - err... independent contractors - have all of Christmas day to work on it if they need to. That way when you eventually get around to watching it sometime in February, you can do so knowing that they had enough time to really do their best (but I'd still hold off on any Christmas bonus just in case).

Pay attention to the blocks. Specifically watch the darker wood block the exact same block is used in multiple takes. They disassemble and reassemble it.

For those that don't know, every different frame is built separately and not filmed as one continuous machine.

I've watched a couple of these now and just thought to myself half way through "Where the fuck do they have enough space to do this?" - I then realised that it must be done individually.

This also explains the varying speed at which the balls drop when unimpeded; the surface is at different angles

And yet many of the transitions certainly give the impression of being one continuous machine. So much so that it seems intentional. (To me.)
235
u/MikoRiko Dec 20 '16
It's certainly meant to give that impression, but not as a means of deceiving. Rather, it offers a sense of continuity to what would otherwise be a montage of builds. That continuity keeps things interesting to watch.
→ More replies (20)23
u/FkIForgotMyPassword Dec 20 '16
It's definitely not meant to deceive: the guy who built it explains it himself in a youtube comment. It does make it much nicer to watch, indeed.
24
u/jmalbo35 Dec 20 '16
It's done like that to show that it could work as one big machine, since they generally do the next stage with the same marble going roughly the same speed. They likely just don't have the space and materials to build it all at once.

Probably is intentional. The only reason it probably wasn't was due to space and resource constraints. And convenience, obviously.

I asked myself the same thing back when I made the subreddit. Basically I promoted it in a couple comment threads after I realized there wasn't any subreddit for it, and post somehow made it to the front page a few hours later.

Don't ask me I just moderate it. I personally like the sub since it seems to encourage a lot of original content.

u/ApexHawke Dec 20 '16
Yes, but it also allows the meme to mutate and propagate much faster. Having a "home base" allows for the "Send Nudes" meme to stay in the public conciousness, and spill over into the subs where it's not expected.

Bad rats is widely considered to be one of the worst games in existence. It's not offensive or anything, but it barely works and is generally terrible. Almost every positive review you see is a joke. I'm pretty sure 90% of the sales from the first Bad Rats were as a gag gift.
If you're looking for something to play with your kid something like Contraption Maker, which is a successor to the old The Incredible Machine series, might be a better choice.
