I feel famous.

It's sacrifice will be remembered and honored, Gav.

Facts. Kept me interested the whole way.

As a soon graduating ME, it still boggles my mind how people figured some of this stuff out. Like the concept seems easy: have a mirror with gaps timed properly with the frame rate and use a piston in reverse to move the film. But then you get into the details and see how much more complicated it is, like the consideration of using helical gears, and getting the disk to always stop in a position that prevents further exposure. Always gotta respect the effort older generations put into figuring out difficult problems

Go check out the video on a film projector from Engineerguy

Very well said. This was amazing to watch, as a videographer

There's a couple things going on here though: the first is that the claw may be moving fast, but without much torque. If the film jams, the claw can't move, so it can't really cause damage. The second is the really amazing timing systems and brakes film cameras use. Basically, when the film isn't moving, it's clamped in place and can't be advanced. When the claw grabs the sprocket hole, the clamps release, and the film gets dragged easily through the system, so nothing is resisting the claw as it drags. These things are fantastic bits of analogue engineering.

@@michaelbushee3968 Thanks for the very nice explanation.

In the fast camera that I used "once upon time" there were no claws. The film and the octal mirror were synchronized. That means the image was tracking the film movement which was smooth, just accelerating. Depending on the target speed, the acceleration could go on until the end of the film in less than two seconds...

Each and every step was necessary.

That's the beauty of engineering, and a particularly good understanding of math.

Its all tied to together mechanically (the gears that control shutter also control the arm) so it has to be exact

That's funny 😂

Mario G I almost fell off my seat from his joke.

With all the cameras Gav owns, I wonder just how far he could take that gag

Well of course he has to make a reaction video. You know what that means.

And of course he would use another camera to show us the security camera

Every years a slow year for the Slo Mo Guys

Even better than I was expecting from the thumbnail.

Bro there’s two comment on your channel and they’re both slomo guys, who knew corporate America was a slomo guys fan

Leave me alone!

Right? I came to the comments to see if anyone is talking about it :D

Gotta get those subliminal subscriptions every way you can.

I can't find what you're talking about 😭

@@mrkesu Starting around 6:06, watch the letters passing by on the film as it gets pulled down.

Wow, you noticed that detail. Yes it is really the most imaginative way. 😲

Agreed!

Was about to comment the same. Somehow still improving with every video!

2:17 gave me a little high. Especially with the hard cut silently saying "shut it!"

Exactly the same as a normal camera. Only difference will be if it’s global shutter or rolling.

there are no moving parts

@@TheREAPERBlog their would be with a rolling shutter. You can get both rolling and global all shutter phantoms.

Filmed on 16mm

YO STEEZY SUP

Now that I know that it's all "faked" in editing, it really draws my attention to it in the best way possible. It's fascinating!

Yup, felt the same

It's cameras all the way down.

@@njwebwiz *click* always has been.

What did it look like? Was it just smoother or was there something else?

@@snjert8406 I saw it in 48 fps too. It was weird. It was too clear, too sharp, too "real", and it just lost something. It was extremely distracting and would drag you out of the action pieces constantly. Our brains are programmed over decades for that 24fps slightly blurred effect in movies, and when it's missing, it's a problem. Perhaps if every film from then on had been 48fps we would eventually acclimatise, but I think the negativity around HFR in The Hobbit killed it. It didn't help that the story was an over-blown, tissue-thin, money-grab that was basically non-stop over-the-top action pieces consisting of running from location A to B... for three looooong films!

@@stephen-boddy I wonder if it has more to do with our brain's perception of movement on a flat surface as opposed to just being learned through films. I realize this makes no sense. Experiments must be made.

@@snjert8406 I saw it in the cinema, It didn't look like a "movie", it looked too real, like a bunch of actors running about on stage. The irony of it looking too real was that the sets and set design then looked fake, because they looked like what they were (sets) and not what they were supposed to be (real) if that makes any sense. definite uncanny valley vibes, or something like that.

Right?! At first I thought I was looking at a generic camera flyby, then I saw it was the same model. Then I though it was B-stock from the manufacturer, then I remembered...that wouldn't exist.

Yeah about that... Did Gav get a robotic motion capture arm? Because that sure looks like an choreographed movement.

MKBHD on a budget :D Seriously though, they should team up (when all the pandemic nonsense is over) and shoot some cool robo-assisted slow mo.

it was absolutely beautiful. We NEED a behind the scenes look at that

Macro lens on the capture camera (a DSLR maybe?) and moving it on a gimble? Well done shot regardless. Gives the sensation of flying around the camera closeup.

I filmed it twice. One with the shutter on and one with it off. Then I basically cut a hole in the footage of the shutter on and placed the shutter off footage underneath so it’s visible through the hole.

if you want to know more, it's called "masking". You can find tutorials on yt, that might show you how it's done. with today's software it's easy to do, back in the day (from when the term comes from) you had to "mask" things out by hand with paint on glass or other techniques, while playing the original footage and filming it with a new strip of film. Very interesting and confusing at first, but very old tech tbh.

@@therealpanse it's so cool how old techniques have found their way into the digital world!

@@snjert8406 that's just how things go. If it works, you keep doing it until you find something that works better. That's why we're still burning fossil fuels almost 150 years after the invention of the internal combustion engine...

What happend to him ?

@@tombertael8790 he's in the UK and Gav is in texas so there's travel bans still in place

Dan brings a level of energy and comedy that Ive really missed the past few videos. The intro just doesnt sound right without him

I was hoping for the same thing. Also, to know why 24 fps is the standard

@@cannibalbananas 24 coz it used the least amount of film for a decently smooth feel. It also had to provide enough surface for the opticaly printed audio track

@@cannibalbananas The actual reason why is when they first invented movies, they figured out about 48 fps was the minimum to get convincing motion that wasn't jerky or blurry. Film is expensive when you are using it up as fast as a movie camera does, so to save money they just ran the cameras at half speed. People got used to the low framerate, and as a bonus it helps cover up things you may want to hide like crappy props or practical effects.
