- Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.
Welcome to "The Super Slow Show."
Dan, I feel like, even though we've been doing slow-mo for so long,
we often don't look great in slow-mo.
Oh, it's so true. I can think of some classic
examples right now, to be honest.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
So I think it's clear,
we need to look like action heroes.
It's true. So we've devised
an action hero assault course, right?
To make us look as bad-ass as possible.
Let's go take a look.
( music playing )
So we got some mortars full of stuff.
Gav's doing an impression of what he's going to be doing on the day.
That's gonna explode behind us, make us look cool,
and we got some obstacles here to jump over.
- ( exhales ) - Slow-mo hurdle.
All right? Into some mats at the end
where we're gonna do a jump.
And if we don't look good with all this going on,
- we're a lost cause. - Yeah, we really are.
We got a Phantom at the end of the range,
thousand frames a second,
and another Phantom on the little golf buggy,
also a thousand frames a second.
Sweet tracking shot.
- Gnarly. - Time to do some stretches, I think.
- You gonna warm up? - Oh, yeah.
- I'll do it on the night. - Okay.
Dan: Here we go.
And go!
Whoa!
- ( spitting ) - Bloody hell!
- Oh. - There's still stuff landing.
- Wow. - It was all over so fast,
I have no idea what my face was doing.
It's so true!
I concentrated on my face for about--
about two seconds maybe, and then I was like,
"There's explosions."
All right, well, let's go see what that looked like.
Let's see how bad-ass we looked.
- I don't have high hopes. - Neither do I.
I think my face is not great.
- Yeah. - It's sort of definitely anticipating something.
Maybe an explosion that's right about to happen next to you?
( music playing )
It looks like the most cowardly war movie ever.
We don't have guns.
We're just running away.
What are we doing?
( music continues )
Gav:
Dan:
Gav:
Dan:
Gav:
towards an explosion.
Dan:
If that was like a centimeter closer,
you could've just knocked me out with your elbow there.
Gav:
Dan:
Gav:
What-- see, I knew I had to do a good face.
Why didn't I do one?
Dan:
I look like an unathletic lab assistant.
( music continues )
Whoa, just eclipsed the sun.
Gav:
- Dan:
Dan:
( music continues )
See, at this point,
I remember what I was thinking.
I was thinking, "What am I gonna do...
- ( laughs ) - on the mat?"
You need to make your mind up
- before you do the jump. - I know.
I was going for a dive, over rotated,
and I thought, "I'm gonna have to tuck into a roll."
- Dan:
-
Whoa!
So what's the final verdict?
How do we feel about our action hero faces
- and our... - I feel like you were pretty solid.
- I was naff. - No.
My face was just naff.
You just, like, didn't make any effort to do--
like, you just did "ooh" the whole time.
Well, as soon as the first explosion goes off,
it's just garbage.
I suppose the main thing-- main thing is explosions.
- Yeah. - You can't really concentrate
on putting, like, a cool face
and have stuff blow up next to you.
- It's very difficult. - Unless you're an action hero, which we're not.
I think it takes years of training.
- Probably. - We'll just keep doing it every day
- until we've got it right. - Yeah.
Hopefully you enjoyed that video.
