That is amazing! That would take soooo long to get right and set up. Amazing. I lol'd at the piano dropping and the TV getting smashed, and at the ending to.

What the !@#$ is this shit.

That's crazy. I can't imagine they had much chances to test every part of the machine xD

I get anxiety just thinking about how annoying it must have been to restart after one tiny thing goes wrong. Absolutely amazing.

I was thinking "is this real?" until I read the article that goes with it.  Apparently, yes, no trickery here.

That's epic. Would've been so tiring setting that up over and over and doing all those takes x.x
