G: Hello there, I'm Gav.
*air pistol popping noise* D: I'm Dan.
G: We're the Slow Mo Guys. Back when we first started
this channel Dan, before we really knew
what it was all about,
we used to do a lot more... challenges.
D: We did, like competitions between us.
G: Yeah. D: Yeah.
G: Why don't we first, one,
go back to our roots,
see if you can shoot this candle out?
D: I think I've got an advantage here.
G: Because you shoot guns and I don't?
D: Yeah. And you're scared of them, I've seen you try.
G: What's the ah...
what's the penalty for losing?
G: Football to the head? D: Uh-
G: *throat laugh*
D: *sigh*
D: I suppose so yeah. G: *laughs*
D: I think I'll get my revenge here.
G: We'll be shooting this on the Phantom v2511
at 28,000 frames a second.
I'm going to position the camera behind
the candle just to prolong the amount of
time that the pellet is on the screen because, ah,
it still moves pretty fast.
*air pistol firing*
D: Ooh.
D: I hit the candle.
G: You did?
D: Yeah!
D: There it was, at the top of it.
G: Look at that! I can't believe it stayed lit.
D: Yeah. G: That's quality.
D: Ugh, just an inch off.
G: *laughs*
D: Man. G: That was a good first try.
D: Ooooh you actually got it!
D: You actually hit it!
G: No, I went straight through it :(
D: Oh. G: It went straight through it and knocked it out!
D: Oh! You got the flame out though.
D: I was like, "no way"! Because I saw the
flame go out and the candle move, I was like
"you hit it"!
G: I just blasted straight through
the wick by the looks of it!
D: Has that blasted the wick out of the way?
G: I dunno, maybe it missed the wick.
D: Is that a win?
G: I don't think that's a win. D: Ok. So it has to
hit the actual top bit here.
G: You could say that shot was... D: ...wicked? Yeah. Got it.
D: Yes! G: *laughs*
G: Oh. D: Oh!
D: So close.
D: I think I was so close.
G: It's right there! D: *Oh of anguish*
D: So close. I can almost...
D: I can almost feel the satisfaction of lobbing a football at your head.
G: *laughs* Damn it. You're getting closer. D: I am.
D: Oh!
D: Oh! G: Did I get it?!
D: Either, right, either you got the pe-e-erfect shot
G: Yeah- D: or it just happened to go out at the same time.
G: *laughs* D: I'm hoping for the second option.
D: Or maybe you didn't even go anywhere near it.
G: Oh- Oh!
G: Ah it's a glance! D: Ah, the wax!
D: The wax blew it out. G: Oh I glanced it.
D: Oh, that's so close!
D: Goodness me. A lucky escape! G: That was very close
D: Happy with that. G: Dammit! Thought I had it.
D: So did I.
D: *Oh of anticipation* How close was that?
D: Missed. G: Just a complete miss?
D: Oh! I got it! *epic victory music ensues*
G: No!
D: I reckon I got it!
G: No!
D: I reckon I got it!
D: Ye-eah! Yeah! Oh yeah! G: *laughs*
D: Oh no. Nope.
G: No? D: No.
D: That's it. G: Oh, you hit the exact- you hit it again!
G: You just keep slapping that bit! D: *Oh in equivalent of facepalm*
G: See if that was a premature celebration.
G: Oh.
D: Oh, that counts, come on. That counts! It's got to!
No the wick when flying, look! I've hit the wick!
G: You didn't hit the wick. D: I hit the wick!
G: You didn't hit the wick! D: The wick completely
bent and moved!
G: Well what happened was, was you hit the wax
G: which sort of shockwave blasted- D: *imitates Gav* "It hit the wax which shockwave weh weh wah"
G: Well I'm not going to give that to you.
it's just, do you want to see a, a shot where we hit the wick
as the winning shot?
G: It's up to you, you can take the win on
that, if you think you deserve it.
D: I mean absolutely deserve it. G: *doubtful yeah?*
D: But... G: All right, how about this. We'll keep going,
and if any of us hit the wick, we'll trump
that victory. If not you win.
D: Okay, that's a deal.
D: Woah!!
G: No.
D: You hit the thing? G: It went through.
D: *Oh of realization* So close. G: Blew it out the underneath.
*air pistol firing*
G: Whiff.
*air pistol firing*
G: *Oh of astonishment*
D: You got it!
D: You actually got it. G: You serious?
D: Yeah!
D: You frayed the wick!
D: You actually hit the wick.
*Gavin laughs throatily*
D: You got it!
*Gavin still laughing*
D: I don't believe it!
D: *Raaugh!*
G: [soft laugh]
G: What are the chances?
D: You actually nailed it!
D: You have to have done.
D: Look at the wick.
D: That's been hit.
D: Right on the tip as well.
D: Right on the "tea-ip"
D: *Loud Ooooh of astonishment*
G: Oooh! *laughs*
G: I, it...
G: Could not...
D: That is so clean! G: ...have been more perfect.
D: That is the cleanest shot.
D: Look, it almost re-lit it; it was that clean.
D: All through the smoke.
G: I feel GOOD about it!
D: *Oh of astonishment*
G: You know, I actually feel OK taking the win with that; just because
yours was good, but that was so crisply clean.
D: That was so clean. G: Classy!
G: YES!!
G: YEAH!
D: Can't say I'm not gutted by that. :I
G: So we're shooting against this fence which, ah,
thankfully, there's nothing behind the other side, apart from trees.
But, uh,
G: they went through. D: Oh, one of them went through.
G: Look at 'em! D: Look! You can see, if you look through this one, there's a hole
D: that actually goes through. G: Well, Yeah.
G: This ones you see the pellet's stuck in there still.
D: Weird!
D: Over here, there's one over here. There's one here.
G: Uh.
G: Not the best grouping, B.
D: Not- Actually, yeah well these,
these are clearly my shots.
G: Oh, ok, ok. D: Yeah, your ones are like
that one there, that one there...
D: You know. Not such a good, uh...
G: There's one over there probably.
D: Yeah, yeah. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Yeah. Exactly, yeah.
G: Some such satisfying shots from that.
D: Really good. G: That close up, just "pew", just perfect.
D: So crisp. G: SO crisp. D: Love it.
G: And I can't believe I won. I'm rubbish at shooting!
D: I'm devastated! I actually am gutted, because
D: not only did I lose against you, at shooting, G: Yeah.
I also have to have a football down the side of my face, AGAIN.
G: But this time with this camera so 28,000 FPS.
G: it was 1,000 last time. D: Any excuse, any excuse.
D: Goodness sake. G: Hopefully you enjoyed that little challenge.
G: Um, I think we should do more of those, every so often.
D: I didn't enjoy it. Yeah, yeah.
G: Well, you know, they're satisfying. D: I usually win stuff like this though.
G: You usually do. Not in camera though.
G: Not on camera. D: That's all that matters, isn't it?
D: No one cares about anything else!
G: Feel free to follow us on Twitter. definitely watch some videos on our second channel.
G: They're pretty top. And, uh, subscribe!
D: Buy a t-shirt!
G: Buy a t-shirt. Buy a poster.
D: Buy a poster. G: Pop, pop the kettle on.
D: Pop the kettle on.
D: (indecipherable as accent gets thicker) G: (duck talk?)
D: *laughs* What?!
G: Before I leave you, I recently did a collaboration,
which is something I hardly ever do,
but it's one of my favourite channels on the whole of YouTube.
Corridor Digital.
We made a Fallout 4 themed video.
Lots of slow mo, and lots of me running around like a fool.
So be sure to check it out right here.
*air pistol firing*
D: Yeughhh!
