SpudFiles

Just made this because I was bored, I haven't tried before and thought it'd be interesting. Really not hard to make at all, I mixed 250g of gelatin to around 1700mls of water. Can't remember the exact number but it is the same ratio SpudBlaster15 has used before. Took 8 hours to set.

I might shoot a few BBs or pellets at it before I blow it up with a golfball. If luck goes my way, i'll film it in HD with a $10,000 camera. If we can get enough lighting, we'll increase the shutter speed to 1/10,000.

Anyway, not really much discussion behind this. Just thought more information on the forums is better.

$10,000 camera.

Wow, is it a red one or something??

Haha na it's one like this:


My friend has one because his dad is a TV producer.

Just check the batteries.

wow, thats decent! 35mm?? i have a Sony HD camera, but 25 FPS, and that cost 1.5K, the other 8.5k must be for higher fps

also, i just checked, a red one is like $17,500 for the body only..... and thats the cheapest one and its only 120FPS !! for that price i would expect a bit more

I have no idea the model of the camera, is simply looks like the one above and I know it can film in HD and at 10,000 frames a second.
I hear that brand new it was closer to $13,000 (NZD).

10K!! now thats a true SLO-MO camera!
they film movies using Red cameras, also did i mention that full HD is 1080P, most red record in 4K..... 4 times bigger:P

well any ways i cant wait to see what the finished product looks like. <3 slow mo and ballistics gel

Next batch you mix up should be cheery flavored, and add some noodles and fruit cocktail for effect! Yummy...

Holy shite, that's a hell of a lot... are you certain of those numbers? I can't see a camera that does that being available for a mere 10k

Or do you mean in HD or at 10,000 fps...

Yup, that's the one. I've never tested the 10,000fps on it before though.

It may do HD @ 1,000. And only in bursts.

the aus open use 20,000 fps slow-mo camera

Melted the last block and made a 4 litre block instead. I'll film a golfball impacting it this weekend as long as the weather is decent and i've pressure tested the V.A.L cannon since today I removed the stock and glued on an end cap.

Well we filmed it all today, minus the watermelon. Not sure when I can post the video, haven't even seen it yet.

Here are some pictures.
