echobikes Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Hmmm yeh... At first thought it was pretty classy... But then you watch it again.. And where all the low notes would be he's playing really high pitched music.... I think anyway.

MrMonkey Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 It was a pressure sensitive piano, the same type as the floor mat ones than your press. He couldn't of hit keys with big spongey balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echobikes Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Unless the piano was super sensitive? Or the balls were heavier than they look? I still stand by what I say personally I don't think the music matched up to where he was dropping them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still stand by what I say personally I don't think the music matched up to where he was dropping them. ← It was touch sensetive, like those piano mats you can get for kids, where you just touch the keys and it sounds the note. Looked real enough to me, don't see why someone would go to all that trouble faking a video that complex for something so.... mediocre? Street performers learn some strange skills, if you think about it, it's no different to being able to ride your bike along a narrow rail on it's back wheel etc, like some people here have mastered. It was just a varient on juggling, and in america especially i've seen some crazy good street performers do that kinda thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just part of the act. It was a fake. Although it's still very impressive timing it with whoever is playing the piano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it's still very impressive timing it with whoever is playing the piano. ← I watched it very carefully, as far as I could tell he hit every note right (Y) I'm alright on music-to-note alignment, I played piano for like 7 years, but i fail to see if he can bounce those balls around so perfectly why it'd be that much harder to hit a note. Meh, in the end it was still mediocre, real or not :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Well for a start it's difficult enough juggling 5+ balls anyway, let alone bouncing them. And then to add inch-perfection to each one is rediculous. Not by a human being. And then there's the fact that if you watch closely he throws the ball down and nothing happens (no sound). He does that at least once. And at the end he is moving up and down the keyboard even though the tune stays in the same place. Meh. Although it is still very impressive juggling and synchronisation.

JT! Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Sorry but that's as real as it gets, when he drops that ball to get it in the right hand it does make a noise. It's real, not amazingly hard with loads of practise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dave Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 if parts of that are out of sink, then it could well be real, if the videos in time with the sound then its not. 100% possitive B) wasnt watching it very closely and you can see hell do a note, the next note will be higher but he moves down the keyboard. its just been recorded and his bouncing the balls to it, just like when bands play and just mime the music :P not hard to do if you no the song. but still his a f**king good juggler :lol: however id give him even more credit to the fact his bouncing them in vagily the right place :lol: Dave ps, i can play the piano :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
