High speed video footage (physical motion reference)

Found this collection of footage today via a mailing list. It’s really intriguing stuff, and gives you a good picture of how things really move in real life:

This one’s my favourite (TV CRT smashed against concrete). Anyone else find any good ones?

Like the mentos and the the diet coke video. Always heard about it and never tried it. Guess I’m off to the shops for ingredients :cool: Intoxicating site!

What a cool job that would be. Hmm, what can we smash while filming with a fast shutter speed. I saw one somewhere else where they did a water balloon popping. It was very cool to watch, the balloon itself disappeared first and left a big floating pool of water, which then fell gradually - it was like how water behaves in anti-gravity.

Nice find Broken. May you disclose the mailing list you received this from? Sounds like it might be a good one to be a part of.

It’s called the DLF, a local community list for people in the 3D industry etc. in Australia and around the region.

Oooh, another DLF’er. Broken, can you tell me how to unsubscribe? </injoke>

Nice site.I tried looking at it, but it crashed Firefox on my machine when I tried to play them. Does anyone know what codec they’re in? I read that there was some slow motion running clips, which would be useful for animation reference.

Thanks for sharing. :up:

Had to update Quicktime, but then they worked fine in Firefox.

Think you mean this one - the water almost looks like a fish hanging in the air

nice, slowmotions are really usefull. I remember using some on animating a fly’s movement.

No, it wasn’t from that site, it was the one in this video:

They have a similar one though:
