Title: slo-mo
Post by: dale on 09-May-11, 07:15:07 PM
This may be birds, nature, or utterly OT, as you wish.
These guys do fun work filming things and then slowing it way down.
Here is one of red kites flying down to grab food off a parking lot,

but as trippy as it is, I think I prefer the INCREDIBLE ones where they break water balloons The Slow Mo Guys - Giant 6ft Water Balloon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_OyHUqIIOU#ws)

and this one of an insect eating another

and this one of water vs fire

and this of a gasoline-fueled fireball

That's amazing footage, watching the power in the red kites' wings lifting them up, once they've grabbed what they want -- which seemed not to be the bread -- perhaps meat of some kind.  I love the way their back feathers, between their wings ruffle as they come in!  Excellent footage!!  Thanks!
