The Wrong Trousers intro recreated by Joseph's Machines

YouTuber Joseph Herscher has recreated the contraption from Wallace & Gromit's The Wrong Trousers in real life.

The kinetic artist – who runs the channel Joseph's Machines. – built a device to lower him into his trousers, assemble a shirt and pullover around him, then fire jam into a slice of toast as it pops out of a toaster.

He posted a making-of video on YouTube, where he wrote: 'I'm sure it comes as no surprise that Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers was a favourite of mine growing up, so this machine has been extra special to create! 

'This video not only contains TWO different versions of the final result, but I also take you through my process of figuring out dangerous stunts, solving sticky jam complications and treating dog stage fright. Fun fact: The trousers at the very end were lent to me by Aardman Studios.'
