Ping Pong Trickshots play the Xylophone (Music Contraption)
What do 213 ping pong balls and a kids toy xylophone have in common? Absolutely nothing. Nonetheless, I built a contraption that bounces them together to make music playing “Can Can” by Offenbach.
This project was heavily inspired by 5MadMovieMaker’s video called "Hot Wheels Xylophone". Huge shout-out for giving me the idea to use masking in adobe premiere. He's an awesome guy, check out his video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99nanHbjLXk
If you can't hear the melody clearly, try increasing the playback speed to x1.5 or x2 in the YouTube video player.
Project Notes:
I underestimated how random ping pong ball bounces are. Even on a perfectly flat tile, there can be over a foot diameter where the final bounce ends up. My first design for this contraption included 3 bounces, but I ended up redesigning it to be more reliable. I’m thankful for this decision because it meant less time tracking the ball paths in Premiere. If you’re curious how I achieved this effect, I moved a mask to cover every single movement of every ball’s path by hand. Repeating and overlapping multiple layers became very complicated because the balls would cross paths. Once I learned tracks could be nested together I became more organized.
