Since I was home sick from work last week, I spent an inordinate amount of time watching TV (aka The Discovery Channel). I got super excited every time they played this commercial for their new show, Time Warp, which reminds me of Smashbat. My favorite part is when the green balloon explodes on the dude’s face. What do you think? I mean, it’s no Gladiators, but I want to watch it.
THAT’S AWESOME! But seriously, I wonder how they do that. Is it a special camera?
Yay! I’m pleased that smashing and time-dilation is becoming exciting! I think he videos are made with a high-speed camera, shooting at several thousand of frames per second, so that when the footage is played back at 24 fps, everything goes really slow but stays really crisp.
wow the video is really cool, but i do not really like the show as much…perhaps it is impossible for anything to reach the lofty heights set by mythbusters, dirty jobs, and how it’s made.
