Wallace & Gromit’s Breakfast Machine in Real Life

There is a charming scene in Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers in which Wallace is slung out of bed, dressed, and served breakfast in a mere few seconds by his dog Gromit with the aid of some mechanical shenanigans. Joseph Herscher of Joseph's Machines saw this as a challenge. Can he recreate the scene in real life without resorting to special effects?

The answer is yes, but it wasn't easy. This time, we get to see the process of building one of Joseph's machines, despite his trepidation about falling from a great height. The jelly made a mess, the bed broke, and there was no plausible substitute for training a real dog to initiate it all. You can skip to 7:39 and see the finished stunt, or you can enjoy all the hard work and bruises that went into making it. (via kottke)
