Mario Theme Song Played with a RC Car... Fake or Not?

I'm sure you've all seen this truly amazing video of Chinese folks playing the Mario theme in a parking lot with a R/C car and a bottle .

I must admit that after the WOW effect and re-playing this video repeatedly we realized the music is out of sync with the video, or at least the car... The music seems to continue playing even with a huge gap between bottles, and the sound seems very close to a xylophone played by a pro.

We have NO proof to show whether or not this a fake or a real amazing setup by our Chinese friends, so watch the video again carefully and let us know what you think...

The video could be out of sync just 'coz it's a crappy video. Doesn't mean it's fake. It doesn't sound like a xylophone at all. It could be fake, tho'.

I also believe it is a Fake, the audio sync sucks and the music sounds too much like a xylophone indeed.

This is a copy of a spot directed by my friend Nacho Gayan...

Nacho did his spot all in-camera, I wouldn't be surprised if this was done that way as well. After all its not rocket science, it just takes a lot of patience!

Which is interesting here is that the video has been cut "edited" but not the music

I would say that is true that there is a guy with nothing to do but going to his parking lot with a RC car and a lot of empty bottles. What you can't tell is that probable he failed many times so he took from the movie the parts that did work and put it together. The sound is kind of crappy and is out of rhythm so probable that is real.

They definitely lined up the bottles with the rhythm of the melody, and it's not that hard, just takes time if you know the notes, and once you know the notes, you can prepare the bottles with water filled to the desired note(s) in groups ahead of time, and then just lay it out accordingly.

Has no reason to be fake! However, it's possible that the real version didn't sound as good and they "helped" it a bit somehow. But no doubt they were trying to do it with some level of success! =)
