Awesome Slow Motion

Fireboards

Fireboards

We can’t really recommend covering your skateboard with gasoline and kerosene. We suggest leaving such dangerous stunts to boarders Jonathan and Jason Bastian, and the watchful 2000fps eye of BeyondSlowMotion.

UFC Phantom Cam Highlight Reel

UFC Phantom Cam Highlight Reel

Highlights of UFC 167 captured using a Phantom high-speed camera. Watching the fighters’ faces distort and ripple as they are pounded with punches made us flinch at the sheer brutality of these MMA matches.

Holi Sh*t

Holi Sh*t

A team of freerunners is set loose in abandoned buildings in the suburbs of Berlin, accompanied by flares and smoke grenades to accentuate their movements. Directed and edited by Frank Sauer. The track is Lost It To Trying by Son Lux.

SHAKE

SHAKE

While one never likes to be on the receiving end of the water and slobber flying off of a wet dog, you can safely observe these mutts shaking off from afar in this slow-motion film to promote photographer Carli Davidson’s book, SHAKE.

Fire Hands

Fire Hands

A dangerous trick achieved with soapy water and butane fuel is made just that more awesome to watch by capturing it in slow-motion. Go behind the scenes with BeyondSlowMotion here. Needless to say, do not try this at home.

Giant Bubble Explosions

Giant Bubble Explosions

Shanks FX latest clip not only creates amazingly huge, prismatic soap bubbles for us to enjoy, it captures their inevitable failure in spectacular slow-motion, and shows us a thing or two about how to make our own massive bubbles.

Chromatic

Chromatic

By covering skateboards with chalk, then capturing boarders’ moves in ultra slow-mo, we’re able to witness the precise trajectory of each board as it flies through the air. Video by Beyond Slow Motion. (Thanks Darren!)

Slow-Mo Car Explosion 2

Slow-Mo Car Explosion 2

There’s no love lost for the late 1990s Chevrolet Cavalier convertible. So unless you have a soft spot for this ugly, anemic ride, you won’t be upset when the Slow Mo Guys blow one to smithereens – in glorious 2500fps slow motion.

How to Tap a Beer Keg

How to Tap a Beer Keg

Rated RR exacts revenge against the finicky beer keg for all the foam it’s sprayed in countless parties. Trusts us, there’s a keg somewhere in that cloud of flame. Detonation cord gets rid of the foam, but it gets rid of the beer too.

Summer of Flight

Summer of Flight

A beautifully-shot promo for the 2013 summer wearables collection from Staple captures models flying through the air in slow-motion, using a Phantom Miro camera. A truly imaginative way to showcase the clothes.

Pitstop Ultra Slow-Mo

Pitstop Ultra Slow-Mo

We’re completely fascinated by the speed and dexterity of race car pit crews, and now we know why. Watch in awe as Red Bull’s Formula 1 crew works their 2.05 seconds of magic before the lenses of high-speed cameras.

Slow Motion Underwater Guns

In honor of Shark Week, Richard Ryan gives us some fascinating and artistic info, as he shoots hollow point and 9mm ammo underwater and presents it to us in the glorious slow motion.

Alligators and crocodiles have a special move they do to help rip the flesh from their prey. Now, watch this awesome and brutal feat of strength as captured by the high-speed camera of Earth Unplugged.

AK-47 Underwater Slow Mo

AK-47 Underwater Slow Mo

Destin of Smarter Every Day teamed up with the Slow Mo Guys to capture what happens when you shoot an AK-47 underwater. At 27,450 fps, we see a gas bubble and a water jet emerge along with the bullet.

The Revenge of the Beasts

The Revenge of the Beasts

Filmmaker Sebastian Linda wanted to capture the sense of awe that he felt as a kid when he first saw a skateboarder jump. We think he nailed it. The song is Conquest of Spaces by Woodkid. See the making of video here.

Ruler Reflex Test

Ruler Reflex Test

Distort conducts an informal test of human reflexes by having people catch a ruler that’s dropped at random. But what impressed us most was the $20 bill test in the beginning. We wonder if there’s anyone who can catch it.

Crossbow vs. Dr. Pepper

Crossbow vs. Dr. Pepper

Gav of The Slow Mo Guys fires a deadly crossbow through a line of Dr. Pepper 10 bottles for no other reason than for us to enjoy the slow-motion shenanigans of foamy soda spraying everywhere at 2500fps.

Slow Mo Yo-Yo

Slow Mo Yo-Yo

YouTube channel Distort slows down the hands of pro yo-yo player Brian Roberts aka Doctor Popular. They also share yo-yo trivia, at least one of which is wrong: “yo-yo” is not the Filipino term for “come back.” 

Water Droplets in Slow Motion

Water Droplets in Slow Motion

The Slow Mo Guys present surface tension in action. At 2,500fps playback, you’ll see that a small drop of water actually bounces off of the surface of a larger body of water. Skip to about 1:05 for the replay.

Suede: Hit Me

Suede: Hit Me

The official video for alt-rockers Suede’s latest single features the wanton destruction of countless pieces of art, and the most excitement you’ve ever seen in a museum. Ironically, the video itself is a work of modern art.

Pistol Shrimp Slow Motion

Pistol Shrimp Slow Motion

BBC Earth Unplugged takes a close look at the pistol shrimp. This crustacean can snap its enormous claw at such high speed that it generates a huge burst of sound, heat and pressure, enough to kill small fish.

Budget Bullet Time

Budget Bullet Time

Our pal Mark Rober always wanted to shoot Matrix-style “bullet time” footage, but never had the rig to do it right. But somehow he managed to pull it off with a GoPro Hero3, two flashlights, a wood turntable and a ceiling fan motor.

Slow Motion Shaolin Warriors

Slow Motion Shaolin Warriors

BBC Earth Unplugged takes a look at the animal that we’re most familiar with – humans. They’ve enlisted the help of a group of shaolin warriors to demonstrate some of our advantageous physical characteristics.
