This IS fake btw. Look closely when the guy gets the balls dumped on him at 24 seconds, and he's working on the "Magnet balls" effect in a video editing program on his computer. This was done by a well known visual effects company.
Yeah, I thought it was pretty obvious when they were hovering, but it was really well done
I want to believe :smith:
It's hard as fuck to make something levitate with a magnet.
magnets how do they....

I believe thats is why they put chips in them, if they were to gain too much magnetic force they would make the guy at the computer aware of it and he would be able to change how much it should pull.

It's fake, the magetic pull would pull other shit towards it that is metal
Now this is some pretty Aperture stuff, even if it is smoke an' mirrors.
I think this is fake because a fuck off giant electro magnet like that would destroy every piece of electronics in that lab they are in.

it >>>is<<< fake
starting from that guy's program, lack of shadows on the ground near the box and very weird rendering of these balls
but goddamn it's so cool, they should just fix all these little problems because if not these I'd actually say that it's real
[release]“Happy” was the theme we were given by the organizers for this year's [highlight]F5 Re:Play Fest[/highlight], held in April in NYC, to create this edition's pieces, probably the hardest thing to convey in any artistic expression. After a good deal of introspection, and [highlight]teaming up with awesome motion graphics artist Gerardo del Hierro[/highlight], we decided that happy wasn't happy for Physalia unless pliers, microchips and a bit of soldering were involved, and with this idea we resolved to create the happiest machine Physalia has built to date.

it was for the art film festival F5 RE:Play. Not real magnets, but still cool as hell.

Amazing CGI. Almost had me convinced for the first 5 seconds, but then I noticed that the balls looked oddly "blurry".
The balls look real to me, but the nail in the coffin is that when they are watching the column of balls float, all their shadows are projected on the back wall, yet the balls project no shadows at all.
Aw i wish it were real :(
Totally want to do that now even if this is fake just to prove that it's possible.
all this magnetic teasing just to have a big fuck-off render that floats.
boner killed.
