- Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.
Welcome to "The Super Slow Show."
Today, we're doing a lovely Hollywood stunt.
Well, Hollywood's just down the road, isn't it?
- It is, very close. - Yeah.
Yeah, today we've got the jerk vest.
Not the best name. What about "tug vest"?
- It's not getting any better. - Yeah.
( music playing )
This jerk vest will replicate the classic
"bloke goes through a wall" stunt.
And here is our lovely wall.
That's the nicest wall we've ever had.
I kind of don't want to destroy it.
- It's almost a shame to. - It really is.
So I'm gonna be hooked up to this pulley system.
And this wall is made of
dry wall and balsa wood
so it shouldn't be too-- Why am I doing it?
Well, you don't need to be the cameraman anymore 'cause we got a crew,
so I get to shove you through a wall, right?
I just sort of put it on and it was like, "Let's go."
I don't know, I think the director said you have to do it.
It's out of my hands.
- Nothing to do with me, obviously. - Not sure I buy that.
- Let's just hook you up, all right? - All right.
I think we got the right wall here, anyway.
This is the thin one, right?
- I'd double-check... before we go. - Yeah, okay, cool.
Dan: So we're hooking you up to a line here, right?
- ( Gavin exhales ) - Kyle: Yeah.
We're gonna shoot this at 1,000 frames a second
using a Phantom Flex 4K.
Should look all right, shouldn't it?
Yeah, I hope so.
I'll think about
my "going through a wall" face.
What is your "going through a wall" face?
Let's see if you replicate it in the slow-mo. Let's practice now.
- ( laughs ) - Is that what you're going for?
This is stunt man Kyle. What's your "going through a wall" face like?
Uh, generally it's kind of based on whatever
he's giving you in the action beforehand.
It seems like he's gonna throw you through there, yeah?
So you could be reacting to him,
you know, give him a dirty eye.
- You know? - Over the years,
how many times have you wanted to throw me through a wall?
- Oh, several. - Several?
Well, beyond count, really, but I didn't want to be mean.
So I'm looking forward to this.
- All right. - Now's your one chance.
Dan, you are, like, well rubbish.
How dare you.
( spitting ) Whoa!
Meaty.
Quite dusty. ( smacks lips )
( chuckles )
Very satisfying for me, too.
Not a bad job there.
That is almost exactly your shape as well.
Oh.
I did, actually, get the right wall, unfortunately.
I kind of wanted you to just hit it and slump down, but...
- Here's the thing, Dan... - Yeah.
I also bought a wall.
I think you should put the vest on.
You promised me it would just be him going through the wall.
First, though, why don't we go and watch the footage?
Yeah, absolutely.
( groans )
Might need to be de-hooked first.
No, I think we should just leave you there.
( music playing )
Dan:
excellent "going through the wall" face.
I worked on it.
You know we sell that shirt that says,
"I always look better--
I look better in slow motion,"
- or whatever? - Yeah.
It's just not true with me.
- Dan:
- Gav:
-
You can see the strain
it's putting on my "crotchal" area there.
Dan:
Gav:
That's quite-- Look at my eyes!
So I blinked on impact
and then I got them open again.
Dan:
Gav:
-
- Dan:
Dan:
Gavin:
Dan:
- Gav:
Gav:
Dan:
Gav:
- Dan:
That's a big jerk.
Okay, well, I'm gonna take this off
and put it on young Daniel,
and then I think you're ready to go.
All right, let's see if you can lob me through the wall.
Let's do it.
Well, you say you're gonna throw me through the wall,
but there's now way you could do it convincingly.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
( coughs ) Oh, man.
Oh, don't finish my wine!
- Not much left of it. - Oh.
So I was trying to give you a disdainful look.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
I think it quickly turned into a,
"Oh, my, I'm just about to go through a wall" look.
'Cause you didn't expect me to use The Force.
- I did not expect you to use The Force. - There you go.
( music playing )
Gav:
Look, the wine has stayed there,
I've moved backwards.
You just left the wine where it was
in 3-D space.
Gav:
Dan:
I've gone back further
than the wine has even dropped there.
Gav:
Dan:
- Gav:
-
Well, I mean, you're a little bigger,
so that pull might have been a little harder.
All right. Okay, it's okay when I say it.
Kyle:
Dan:
-
Like, that is just all anus.
Gav:
Dan:
Gav:
Kyle:
That was some epic-looking footage.
The distance was impressive.
It's really cool, isn't it? You go flying backwards.
I've always wanted to do that ever since I've seen it
in, like, behind the scenes footage and stuff.
Yeah, it's weird that you can watch a movie and think,
- "Yeah, I want to be hurt like that." - Yeah.
I like the way you left your wine mid-air, too.
- That was pretty majestic. - Cheers.
Well, hopefully you enjoyed that video.
