There is a video on utube called Farm machine music. It apparently originated from the U of Iowa. Looks strange but interesting. Was said to take 13,000 hrs. to build....Who has that much time on their hands? Is it real or hoax?

Clearly appears to be CGI, the question is, can it really be built?

That video is clearly computer animation.

Note the lack of control system or surfaces, power supply, and the very idealistic travel of the balls. Then other things like the shadows, and lack of actuators etc.

Google AniMusic. This is one of their first videos. Some of their other contraptions are more realistically feasible, but they're all CG.

It looks fake in the video.

I have no doubt that it could be built with the appropriate technology, but not with the tech in the video.
