  • Your Wedding Isn’t Cool Now Unless You Get a Slow Motion Booth [VIDEO]

    Dude, photo booths at weddings are so…five minutes ago. In the near future, you’re going to be able to discern the cool weddings from the really cool weddings by whether or not you can find a slow motion booth.

    Just look at how much fun these people are having. Just look.

    Quang + Ellie: Slow Motion Booth from Super Frog Saves Tokyo on Vimeo.

    Seattle-based video production company Super Frog Saves Tokyo set up this slow motion booth at a wedding reception and captured it all – dancing, kissing, sexually suggestive confetti shooting…

    “You’ll definitely see more. We’ve been asked to set up slow motion booths at different event,” says the company in a response on Vimeo.

    It’s begun. This should be fun.

  • Here’s an Epic Slow Motion Water Balloon Massacre

    Here’s how I feel about the recent “let’s film everything in slow motion” thing that’s happening on the internet. Every single time I see a video about some sort of “super slo-mo” or “2500 FPS” anything, I think to myself, “eh, seen it, whatever.” And then I watch it and I’m vomiting rainbows.

    It’s just cool. This is a water ballon fight massacre filmed at 2500 FPS, and it’s awesome. Created by theslowmoguys for YouTube’s Geek Week, here’s what it looks like as thousands of water balloons rain down on two poor saps – complete with epic battle music.

  • YouTube Now Lets You Make Slow Motion Videos

    Google announced that YouTube users can now create slow motion (or “slomo”) videos. If you go to the Enhancement tool or the YouTube Editor, you can apply it to one of your existing videos.

    “You’ll get a smooth, slomo video that makes it look like it was filmed with a high-speed camera,” a spokesperson for YouTube tells WebProNews.

    YouTube developed its slomo technology using frame analysis and blending intermediate frames together, we’re told, giving the video a smooth look like it was filmed in high speed.

    Slomo videos are already popular on YouTube. There’s a channel called The Slow Mo Guys, for example, that just focuses on slow motion videos. It has about 2 million subscribers and over 220 million views.

    “Anyone who’s seen a slow motion video of a dog drinking water, rubber bands breaking a watermelon, or footballs in faces knows the age-old proverb: slomo makes everything better,” says YouTube software engineer Eron Steger. “What’s the best way to make slomo better? Let everyone make their own slomo video on YouTube.”

    Here’s a before/after:

    Other tools available in YouTube Editor include audio editing, transitions, cropping, etc.

  • Stop What You’re Doing and Watch Bubbles Pop in Slow Motion

    Seriously. Life can be stressful. Unless you’re actively saving someone’s life, your job isn’t so important that you can’t take a three-minute break. This is cool, and relaxing, and mesmerizing, and all of those other types of adjectives.

  • Slow-Motion Exploding Paint Cans Are As Cool As You’d Imagine

    Paint is fun. Making stuff explode is fun. Catching all of the action at 1600 fps is fun. This video, which combines all three, is very fun.

  • Long for Summer with This Slow-Motion Slip n’ Slide Video

    Hurricane Sandy just went biblical on the entire eastern coast of the United States, there’s a couple feet of snow on the ground in various parts of the country, and I woke up severely cold this morning. It’s that piercing type of cold that rattles your bones and leaves you vulnerable all day long. It’s lunchtime and I haven’t shaken it yet. Do not want.

    What I do want, badly, is summer fun and slip n’ slides. Especially giant slip n’ slides that launch you and your friends into kiddie pools. Oh, and watching it all in slow-motion isn’t too bad, either.

    I finally had to break out the gloves today. Because of that, let’s take a look at a better time. And if you’re still in a part of the country (or world, for the matter) where something like this is still possible and sane, take advantage of it. (courtesy Scott Winn and Jay Davis)

  • This Slow-Motion Pumpkin Smashing Video Ups the Ante, Considerably

    Smashing pumpkins is fun. Smashing pumpkins in creative ways is more fun. Smashing pumpkins in creative ways in slow-motion is the most fun.

    This short comes just in time for Halloween, from director Ross Ching for The Thrash Lab. Earlier this month he had a viral hit with this popsicle stick bomb video, shot at 1000 FPS.

    Check out the top 10 ways to smash a pumpkin, at 1500 FPS:

    These are some pretty good ideas for pumpkin smashing. I guess I’m obligated to tell everyone not to try this at home – or at anyone else’s home. At least wait until after Halloween. If you smash any of my intricately carved pumpkins, I’m going to go all Liam Neeson on you. I’m sure others feel the same way.

  • A Popsicle Stick Bomb Love Story at 1000 FPS [VIDEO]

    Well this is cute.

    If you’re around eight years old and want to get the cute girl at the beach to come sit next to you, how do you go about it? I’d say that creating a giant stick bomb with popsicle sticks is one of the coolest ways you could possibly do it.

    “There’s a unique manner in which you can weave Popsicle sticks so that when you undo a stick on one end, it creates a chain reaction that ripples down the line at 35 mph. We decided to take this idea a step further and to build this story around it. I conceptualized this idea about two years ago, but we could never find the right project with which to incorporate. Since the sticks fly off so fast, we knew that we would need a high-speed camera to capture it. Until recently, high-speed cameras were very expensive to rent for a project that really had no budget,” says director Ross Ching.

    Check it out below (it may make you miss summer):

    According to Ching, this is only a spec commercial and isn’t affiliated with the official Popsicle brand. I’d strongly suggest they consider it, however.
