Hello there the Internet I'm Gav I'm Dan and we're the slow mo guys
And this video is all about sort of odd and weird slow-mo perspectives isn't it?
Yeah. I'm quite lazy
So when I make a cup of tea or whatever, I don't really like to stir with a spoon
so I got one of these stirry-cups
And I've wanted to use this probe lens a few more times because it gets some really interesting angles
somewhere you could never usually get a lens and I thought would be cool if we sort of
Dunked it in a spinning drink, you know from high up like that
But I don't really have the sort of I mean, you're wobbling everywhere repeatable skills. Yeah, so we've got this
Camera slider it's mounted vertically instead of horizontally and has a counterweight in a rope so we can actually mount the camera on
This and usually it's used for sort of, you know, nice smooth vertical shots. We're gonna mount it like this
Not recommended. It's a lot of weight. This is quite a small little head
lovely
*groans*
Pretty good, it's uh,
It's pretty much right because there's a little plastic thing in the bottom of this cup
If you hit it, it will probably break and it's this far away from hitting it
So I think over time it will sort of bend inwards when it comes right to the bottom. Yeah
I always get zapped by American plugs. Yeah, me too
Got that BNC?
Yeah, I'll go get it that's got to be one of the most mental setups we've ever had I quite like it the monitor being on
The camera is too too heavy on the sort of front end. So that's separate now
It's got a longer cable and our final operation is gonna look something like this
It's actually quite sturdy for the amount of weight on this tiny little head
All right. You want to give us a little demo of this Cup? Sure
It's not actually like a coffee cup, it's sort of a mixing - Yeah - thing but it really - It really goes, doesn't it? - doesn't mess about, does it?
I wonder if we could get some shots through the side
It might look cool. And I've just seen that vortex in slow-mo. That's what I thought
I thought it would be pretty cool because it's all messy down here and in slow-mo, you're gonna see some cool stuff
I think all right get it spinning a
Little bit more in actually, yeah
That's maximum spin height right. There we go. Yeah
Stop there. Whoa! Is it good?
That's really trippy get your face in that
That is mental what is going on there? Cuz it's in slow motion, it makes it look so much like bigger
It looks like you're doing it to a giant pool
Yeah, it's kind of hard to get an idea of what the scale of that isn't it
Yeah by the numbers down the side the cup could easily be in meters
Focus is banging there, it tracks it all the way through down to the bottom
What I should probably mention is that the widest possible aperture on this probe lens is an f-14
So it is an incredible sucker of light so we might need to get a little bit of additional light because the Sun
Inconsiderate not bright enough
What do you think? Yeah, I've got one of these this is wicked. Actually, it looks like I'm in a - you're in a washing machine
Yeah, should we put some food coloring in at some point, you think? Yeah. Yeah, sure and
Good stop. Oh, yeah. Get a look on that
So smooth
It's wicked
Okay, let's try with some food coloring. The light as well? Yeah, okay go for green first
That's getting heavier. Yep. As I come in add the coloring
So when you want - what you want me to -as soon as you start moving I'll start. pretty much yeah. Okay, cool
Turn it on
Light
And go whoa Oh trippy, that was really weird. Oh
Sorry quit it sorry I forget I'd have to push the button so it started spitting water everywhere
Okay, let's have a little gander at this Oh God
The glob came out like right next to me, whoa
That's amazing. Is it good? It's really good. Oh
Man, it looks like do you know that bit in Star Trek where there's like that red goo that turns into black holes
Yeah, it looks like that, it looks like it's in zero-g drops. You see the one that hit the side. Whoa. Yeah
Oh
It's like skidded down the side like a secondary drop love it that was wicked and there's a third drop there and you're clearly
moving further and further down there
That's so cool
Looks like the matrix now. Yeah. All right. I'm gonna come down faster this time
Okay, so hopefully keep up with your drobules. Okay, three two one.
Three two one go
Next experiment
Yeah, we're gonna do some tea and pouring milk into tea see what it looks like when it's poured from the same weird perspective
Yeah, I always wondered what it would be like to be milk
This angle should show us. This is some solid tea as well, actually. I brewed this for about 45 minutes
Okay, turning it on.
Getting the light. Ready? yeah. three two one, pour. Oh!
It says waterproof, I'm not sure about milk proof. Oh no!
Okay cow juice on it
Well looks like a look into oh there's the milk Oh absolute glob perfect
Look at that
Oh No, I think
I caked the lens completely. You absolutely caked it. I mullered it! But there's moments where like once the milk - keep watching it
Once the milk has like subsided across all the front
It kind of looks like the inside of someone's throat. It looks like a gut. It looks like, it looks like
It looks like I'm using those little cameras that goes into people's guts. Yeah, it looks like uh, endoscopy
Yeah colonoscopy with an endoscope. It's quite satisfying really. It really is, actually. The thing is cuz I poured it
It's such a small hole to pour it into and the lens is taking up most of the space
I can't help but because you've got to pour it quickly. Yeah hit the lens
It's like wrapping around the lens and falling down straight in front of it
Yeah, this lens actually does have a light built-in, but such a different color temperature to the rest of the lights we're using, actually
Just not using it and the shadows aren't that bad. Yeah, three two one go
How's the tea?
Solid, I'd drink that. Have a sip. It's cold. Oh is it? Yeah, I didn't just make it
I guess it would steam up the lens if it weren't cold. Yeah, is it better? Yeah, I'm in VR world again. Uh-huh.
A nice glob. Yeah solid globe. Nice glob coming in the side. Oh
Oh
I'm a fan of that. That's lovely. Ah, nothing like a nice cup of tea for an Englishman.
Looks like the inside of a Chocolate Factory. It looks like Willy Wonka's a***
I like when the milk initially hits, it like, because it's spinning it sprays the milk slightly towards the center. Yeah and
Then all the little bits of milk that are making it all the way to the bottom are getting hit by the thing
That's very cool. I think we've done tea proud there. I think so as an Englishman
I'm quite pleased with that and I don't take sugar in my tea. I'm just sort of a milk only sort of bloke
we've got to be. but uh
You like a bit a bit of sugar don't you? a little bit of sweet tea. Oh, I like it NATO
Two milk two sugars NATO. That's what it's called. Is it? Yeah. Okay. So the Sun is sort of behind a cloud now
So we brought out
Sun number two for a little additional boost and some dust bins and some dust bins because we
Blew up all our C-stands with a Russian cannon. Alright. Fire!
So this rig allows for a counterweight to make it a lot less of a struggle to lift back up
But because I'm counting so much on gravity. We've got nothing in this so I just let go and it can fall like that
Yeah
need the speed. The downside is that it's a nightmare to hold in place and lift back up after you've done it sixteen times
Okay, this is gonna be absolute - this is gonna be a bloody nightmare.
Show three two one drop
Yeah, this gonna take some doing three two one drop. Looked pretty good
Got tea on my lab coat. Oh, no, you going to be alright? that's cool. If I was moving faster that would have been class
Three two, one drop Oh, I twatted it. That's fine
Ah the window of focus is so small. It honestly, it looks a little bit like a meteor falling into a ocean
Pretty cool just think it's not as good when the focus is further away. Oh, it's in focus longer three, two one go
Oh god, it's right in there. Give that a wipe. I just couldn't stop it
What Oh do one no to what oh,
Ahh, I twatted my shoe everything's hot everything's boiling
The more we the more we're doing this the more sort of loose each
Point of failure is becoming so I'm slightly worried it's gonna snap off eventually three two one
Two one two one. Oh, might be it! Oh God! might be it. Ah
Might be it
It wasn't spinning at all is it just completely still? just completely
Now it went out of focus - is it a good one, then?
I think, I think that's as good as we're gonna get for a manual system here
And I think we just need to take it all apart
And if we do anymore, we'll have to just tighten it all up and put it back together again
We are just going to have to tighten up. The thing is it's like hard to spin it and also drop it and also time it yeah
everything's getting pretty hot and
Loose and our light's running out of battery and you could fry an egg on that. That's so hot, isn't it hot?
I think we've got some almost very good stuff. And if we want to nail that shot in future we should
maybe get hold of a
Motion-control bit of mo-co. What do you think Dan? Yeah, I think so make my job a lot easier and your job. Yeah
All right, let's get this
Phantom off this poor
Tripod head. Alright, I
really liked the footage we got although a deceptively exhausting video to make
Yeah for you, especially I just have to push a couple of buttons and shine a couple of lights
But anything with timing is like mentally
frustrating and then with all this it was like
an actual sort of a workout having to suspend the weight and drop it and catch it over and over again
Yeah, I mean, I think that was my favorite cup of tea
To look at but I can't imagine tasting it would be very nice. No sugar in the bottom cold. That's like an inch of undissolved sugar
Man hopefully you enjoyed that video. It's a bit of an experimental one
But if you like those kind of videos let us know and maybe we'll use this combination of items again
Get some even more cool stuff. You can subscribe to us. We've got a second channel and tune in for the next video We'll be here. I
Like this thing, it's really cool. Don't touch my stuff. Sorry. That's your I don't touch your stuff. Good point
