Hot Wheels Xylophone

Let's play musical cars, shall we? A total of 374 black-and-white '65 Ford Mustangs hit some black-and-white xylophone keys to play the world's first die-cast song.

Yes this video is edited on the computer but it would've been difficult to film otherwise. Filmed with a Sony VG30H camcorder and edited with Adobe Premiere Pro 2019. Special thanks to Trevor for brainstorming and Justin for letting me disassemble his instrument (it's back together now, don't worry dude).

"Is hotwheels an instrument?"

Friend: What is your favourite instrument?

Me: hot wheels

Store owner: what can I do for you good sir?
Guy: I would like to buy 500 hotwheels please
Store owner: ok I see you are a collect-
Guy: of the same car model
Store owner: oh..

For those interested, here’s how they did it: they recorded a separate clip of the car hitting a block (so 25 different shots, one for each note) and then compiled the shots together to make the song. There was in fact only 1 car used for this video, but edited to make a cute song!
