Slow motion.

I brought the school’s slow motion camera home this weekend, so you can expect to see a few short videos here in the next little while.

Here’s the first one, a dog chasing a ball.

Slow motion.

I love the slow motion camera.

We can now see light moving. Yup, that’s what I said.

I don’t’ know about you, but to me this is just amazing.

Playing with yet another camera.

Have you ever seen The Slo Mo Guys?  They did some of the slow motion action on the Sherlock Holmes movie, and have a YouTube channel where they do various weird things and film it at various slow motion speeds.  If you’ve never seen them, I would suggest watching this one of theirs, it’s the first one I saw and gives you a good overview of what they do.

When I went to talk to one of our science teachers after school and found some students doing experiments with the slow motion camera she bought with some grant money, I just had to join in.  My tech students and I borrowed it one day, and then she actually let me take it home for the weekend.

So, after I painted the car, I went out for a walk to see what I could get.  Here’s some of the videos I filmed.

Look at the car’s signal light.

Is the twirling thing too much?

Found this while randomly surfing the blogosphere.  They’ve got about 50 videos on their channel, and they do some really stupid stuff.  But, in slow motion it looks pretty cool.  If you like this kind of stuff, spend some time and see the other stupid things they do.
