What's up, everybody! Welcome back to my laboratory, where safety is number one priority.
A while back, I remember I put to the test [the] world's largest fire striker. This thing is insane!
It's humongous!
Nobody needs this big of a striker to start a fire. And when you strike this thing, it comes off so many
sparks - and I thought to myself, "I bet it's going to look amazing in slow-motion." So, this is what I'm going to do;
I'm going to pull out my Phantom (camera brand)
slow-motion camera and we're going to film it at
a couple thousand frames per second in slow motion and see what it looks like.
And also we'll try to start a few things on fire and also film in slow motion - just [a] few experiments.
And I'll do a couple of a bonus slow-motion shots at the end as well. So, let's get to this experiment!
By the way, guys, I don't think I've ever shown you how much time it takes to set up slow-motion cameras.
So, we'll do that real quick.
It is pretty heavy.
So, it comes from the case like that, so that way nothing happens to it when you transport it or carry it around.
I move this thing all the time. Boom! And I have here heavy, heavy-duty tripod ---
that sun is killing me.
There [we] go. That's a little better.
And then, I have Cannon lenses for this thing.
I think we're going to be filming close-up,
so I'm going to use macro lenses. Oh, yeah, and I always use
[an] extension cord and this extension cord bucket is the best. I put that to the test
a while back ago. If anybody haven't seen it or something, you plug it in and then you pull out the bucket.
Love this thing - [I] still use it.
And, boom! We're pretty much set up.
So, about 15-20 minutes to set up the camera; depends [on] the day or where you are setting it up.
First thing we're going to do is just film it at a thousand FPS -- see what happens.
Wow, that was so cool! Okay. Now, I have to wait until it saves - and let's look at the playback.
I don't know if a thousand FPS was
slow enough
or should we do it at 2,000 or 3,000 FPS? We'll have to experiment and find out.
Okay, this is more like a close-up of the actual -- what do you call it, um --
striker. Oh, wow!
It's so bright -- it's insane.
I love this shot. But, you know what, we can make it better.
What I need to do is actually
bring the camera out and I bet it's gonna be so amazing -- seeing all these sparks when everywhere
and smoke coming off from behind it. You know what?
Let's make a much better shot and film it again.
You know what? I think we will replace the lenses.
Well, these ones are zoomed in way close --
we'll use one of these wide angles instead.
Okay, let's film this again but with the wide-angle lens.
Also at a thousand FPS.
Let me get a good one.
There we go!
I love how it strikes and hitting the ground and then rolls it on the ground. That's what I see in slow-motion.
This time, let's see how many times do we have to strike to set [some] coconut husk on fire.
Alright, here goes nothing.
Wow, instantly!
For the next experiment, I'm gonna make a little bit of a -- light gas right here. Very, very little bit - not too much at all.
Please do not try this at home.
And, once again, we're gonna film it in slow-motion.
Okay, guys, one more bonus footage with a Zippo lighter.
So, what I'm gonna do is grab a Zippo lighter and just strike it and film it in slow-motion.
And, we're going to film it at 5,000 frames per second --
[let's] see what happens.
Well, guys, that's pretty much it! Let me know in comments below what do you think --
and, of course, don't forget to thumbs-up this video. Let me know
Let me know: What do you want to see in the next slow-motion videos?
And, of course, thank you for watching and I'll see you next time!
