Rube Goldberg Lives On – Insane Photography Machine [VIDEO]

Who is Rube Goldberg, and why is guy born in 1883 the subject of today's blog?  You'll find out soon enough!

According to Wikipedia:

Reuben Garrett Lucius Goldberg (July 4, 1883 – December 7, 1970) was an American cartoonist, sculptor, author, engineer and inventor.  Here's a short video about his life if interested:

But again, this begs the question:  Why bring this up in the first place?  Well, I have a casual interest in photography.  I read alot about new and creative ways to use  camera equipment.  And then I stumbled upon this Youtube video.   A gentleman named David Dvir and the team at 2D photography must have worked like dogs to put this together.  They did their own "Rube Goldberg" contraption, using what looks like every last bit of camera equipment you could possibly own!

Read no more.  The pictures tell the story.  Watch this, and I dare you to see if you can top it!

Can you imagine doing this? And as far as I can tell, it looks like it was done in one take.  In other words, they didn't stop and refilm the parts that didn't work right.  I think it's official.  We've now seen everything.  You have to admit, it shows that there really are no boundaries when it comes to the human imagination, but we have to tip the hat to the one who started it all - Mr. Goldberg!
