27. Machine Guns & Explosions In Slow Motion
5 months ago
Note - this was filmed under professional supervision. It is not advised that you try this at home.

We recently had a new IDT Y5 HDiablo sent to us as a demo. This is the first of 3 high speed cameras we will be testing this month before we make a decision on which one to purchase.

We shot in several different types of situations over a 2 day period and this quick little demo was made for the purpose of including the Y5 in a realistic workflow from concept to final cut. We'll be writing a blog about it later. The two other cameras we will be testing are the Photron BC2 and the Phantom Flex.

Music - The Glitch Mob - We can make the world stop.

Equipment:
Canon 5D, 7D
Lots of lenses
IDT Y5 Diablo
300mm Zeiss PL
35mm Zeiss super speed

M-249 SAW

We will have a major blog posting at goivm.com about each camera once we've completed evaluations.

Special thanks to our friends over at coldhandarms.com for letting us film some of their guns.

Thanks, also, to Zach Meadows for letting us blow up his son's pony.

    The title needs a "l" in slow. This was a really awesome video, I bet you guys had a great time. Music went great with the cuts. Thanks for sharing! Blessings.

    What, Twixtor isn't good enough for you guys? Kidding.

    Nice, I wish I had the budget for something like that. I'm guessing this is somewhere in the Phantom HD price range?

    What do you plan on using it for?
  • Thanks, Man. the Y5 body is about $83K...less than half the cost of the Phantom Flex.

    We're producing a hunting show, and plan to tackle the high speed needs in the ad agency market in this region.

    I thought at 0:26 a spent cartridge went back into the chamber. That would be a bad jam!

    Not "Heavy Artillery", but very cool
  • you didn't see the scud missile launcher blow up the pony?
  • Chas Naylor plus 4 months ago
    Ha! That's funny. I do think it's cool, but no, not heavy artillery. I spent 5 years in the Marine Corps, and "heavy artillery" is a 119 Howitzer. THAT is something I would like to see get the Phantom treatment, both on the launching & receiving end. The blasts would get exponentially larger. But that poor pony!

    Keep making cool vids, guys, it really is neat to see.
