In my section of the one moment video, I released a bunch of glass orbs that fell from the sky and landed on a bunch of pedestals
and because it was in time with the song it was really important that the orbs hit the pedestal at very precise moments;
so we're gonna try to learn how to do that now. How do you think we should do this?
Well, they're all different heights, right, each was a different height and they were actually landing a different time.
I feel like if we if we could make two things land at the same time from different heights we would at least know--
like we would get pretty good at controlling when things landed, right?
Okay
So why don't you both take a ball and if you go high and you go like halfway up
and then I will film at the bottom and see in like I'll do slow motion for my phone
and we'll see if we can make them land at the same time.
ALL: Okay
And you--you can take notes on this?
Yep.
Alright, so Andy you're basically as high as you can go on this ladder safely right?
Tim you're about halfway, so he's gonna do 1 2 3 drop and when do you think you should drop your ball?
I think I should drop my ball basically when his ball passes my ball.
Like right when it's going past?
Yes.
Okay
Alright, 1 2 3
DAMIAN: Whoa!
TIM: Yeah that's a lot.
DAMIAN: Yeah, that's a lot faster.
So you have to drop it sooner.
Sooner?--
Sooner.
TIM: --okay.
Tim I'm not sure
you realize the gravity of this situation.
Haha very funny.
1 2 3...
Still beat you but that was closer.
DAMIAN: Definitely closer. Definitely closer.
DAMIAN: Can you see though what's going-going down? like as it goes by you..
TIM: He still beats me.
DAMIAN: Yeah he still beats you cause it's going a lot faster than you are.
Right, I'm just gonna --I'm gonna feel this completely.
Okay, but you-- but you're not gonna at the exact same?
No, right after.
Okay let's do it.
Alright I'm ready when you guys are.
ANDY: I see you got your-- got your cue.
Alright, 1 2 3..
DAMIAN: Lookin' good! He drops okay oh right after him --right after him
Just a hair before, for human hands --that's --I'd call that. I think you nailed it.
Let's just see if you guys are the same height and drop at the same time--
Yeah.
what happens.
Okay.
Right? Cause he's still going from higher than you so maybe that has something to do with it.
TIM: Yeah, right. Yeah, let's try it.
ANDY: Okay 1 2 3...
Oh looking good looking. So same height, same time, and they land at the same time.
Yeah.
DAMIAN: But yours is heavier, right?
TIM: Right.
DAMIAN: So the weight doesn't matter right?
Yeah
Let's go to the board and see if we can like..
On the last one you guys both drop from the same height, at the same time.--
Yeah.
--and you hit at the same time? Now when you were halfway and you dropped the ball here at the X when his passed the X how come his got there faster?
Just watch just Andy's ball cause it's going from so high. Slow, slow, slow, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster.
Now it's going really fast and that's why it's so much faster than yours cause yours has to pick up speed too.
So you're speeding up the whole time?
Yes.
Right
And-and it speeds up the same on everything but doesn't that mean than that you had a heavier thing than he did?
Mm-hmm.
Should we try some like big differences in things to see?
Yeah.
That's cool.
DAMIAN: 3 2 1 drop!
ALL: Oh whoa whoa!
DAN: That was different.
ANDY: The ball way faster.
TIM: Well the flower is lighter.
DAMIAN: So that's weird isn't the whole point that doesn't matter how light it is?
Alright why don't we try a ball and handkerchief or what is that called-- ball and scarf?
DAN: Yeah.
DAMIAN: You guys ready?
TIM: Yeah.
DAMIAN: 3 2 1 drop!
DAMIAN: That was pretty different.
I don't know the ball is clearly picking up more acceleration than the scarf.
It's the wind. It's not empty here, there's air here.
TIM: Right.
The air is like actually like this is having a hard time getting through the air to the ground.
TIM: Right.
If you take a bunch of things that catch air like here, try this one against the ball it'll probably be even slower.
DAMIAN: Ready? 2 1 drop.
You can actually see it slow down in the air, like the air totally catches it.
DAN: Yeah.
I think it's time to start looking at like what we actually want to see in the video.
TIM and DAN: Yeah
You know? Like the things I mean on set we couldn't keep breaking things over and over again for you so we had to get the timing right--
I feel like we understand the timing at this point, but it's also what does it look like and what's like fun to see in slow-motion.
ALL: Yeah. Right.
So should we try some different --the quality of different things? Not just like how fast to get there?
We get to break stuff now?
ALL: (Agreeing)
I feel like we basically covered it, right? I mean if this were the video we'd be ready we've got --
--we've we've figured out the speed at which things fall, the issues with drag, acceleration of gravity, and it was fun.
DAN: Yeah, totally.
Like I feel like we-- we --we've got a mess the way we should at the end of an OKGo video so, it's basically your turn.
