all in the name of science

That's pretty neat. The crayon one was disappointing though because of the less-than-accurate shooter.

Meh.

No but I believe the set up and the ideas in some of these clips show a degree of creativity that could be considered "Art".

Maybe that's true, here i'll test myself. I counted 34 different slo mo things in this video (+/- 1-2 b/c im not watching that crap again), you'll have to trust me to be honest but let's see how long it takes me to come up with 35!!! different ideas, clock starting now!

1 pheobe cates getting out of a pool o shit that's already been done (clock still running)
1 throwing a card into a watermelon
2 breaking bottle with a rock
3 dropping a penny on a table and watching it bouce
4 shooting a grape with a shotgun @ close range
5 breaking a lightbulb by having a stampede of wild stallions run it over
6 unplugging a thumb drive
7 taking a bite of a sandwich with too much peanut butter on it
8 jumping...you know, up and down but then like I'd slow it down just before your feet left the ground then speed it up b/c im cool
9 taking a radiator out of a car
10 riping a leaf in half
11 guy getting frustrated trying to open a letter without a letter opener then finally he rips it open
12 making a mojito then me drinking it
13 man struggling not to look at a womans breasts as she bends over then he gets slapped in the face with a baloon filled with paint
14 woman farting in a bathtub
15 flipping a pancake
16 tuberculosis infecting the cells of a young person in a third world country
17 squeezing a lemon into a can of yellow paint
18 hitting a printer with a mallet b/c it doesnt work
19 washing a car in the automatic washer
20 frying bacon
21 changing faces on a mr potato head
22 dropping a rotten tomato a short distance and it doesnt splat
23 droping the same rotten tomato from a third story building
24 baseball bat hitting ball made of concrete
25 alligator snatching up it's baby giraffe dinner
26 tieing shoes
27 hitting a marshmellow with a stun gun and setting it on fire with electricity
28 throwing a knife
29 wiping my ass
30 tree parts going into a wood chipper
31 opening a fortune cookie
32 sneezing
33 getting punched by the dude you sneezed on
34 punching the guy back with the stink palm hand leftover from the ass wipe
35 flashback to the moment in the bathroom when i decided not to wash my hands

wow that was a bit longer than i thought it was going to be i'll have to admit
it ended up being 14:17 although most of that was probably due to typing time.

No worries, acc to you i just made some art.

The egg dropped on a mouse trap one was kinda awesome.

Ok, at 2:36, what the hell did they throw at him?!?!? Is that a water balloon? You'd think it would break with that much force.

some nice multi-coloured jiz shots on screaming people there

No, you have listed a bunch of neat stuff that could look cool in slow-motion. The point Yogi was trying to make is that the "art" portion of this video comes from unique camera angles, setup, different colors used (Primary), engaging background music, the switching of time-shifting, ect... were all carefully constructed to make this video intriguing. And that, my friend, is art.

I have to mostly agree with Jigga.

I enjoy slo-mo videos as much as anyone...but the whole way through that video I kept thinking,
"well, that setup didn't work right, that setup didn't work right, that one almost worked, that one didn't."

At the end I was left with the feeling that someone had made a slo-mo video without the time or funds to make sure the shots turned out right. Really, all it would take to make a video comparable to this one would be to set up a background and tell all your friends to bring stuff they think be cool to break in slo-mo. A real quality video would require hours of reshooting the same scenes until they came out right. It doesn't look like these guys bothered. Or maybe didn't have the funds, slo-mo capture is expensive I think.

Still liked the vid though.

I think the camera angles, depth of field, view distance, background music, rate changes, mistakes, relatively low frame rate and especially the champagne ejaculation shot all made this quite mediocre in comparison to many of the slomo videos that are out there.

I'm not sure why you quoted me on this comment, seeing as how we are discussing different subjects. I never said it was "good" art. Just done well enough to keep your attention. I agree, I've seen far better 'Slow-Mo' videos... I was simply just stating that this is in fact art (no matter how mediocre it is).

Not only is it art, there is also a very compelling story hidden in there about the three glasses with colored liquid... they would not be intimidated by the shooter... first they deflected the bullet and second they refused to let their contents be mingled... I was at the edge of my seat and want a 3rd shot.
