This Is What You Look Like In Ultraviolet

YT: We showed people what they looked like in ultraviolet, & wondered aloud if they wanted to put on some damn sunscreen already.

It would be interesting to do a demo of this with spay-on suntan lotion to see what level of coverage you are actually getting. I always use the spray-on stuff for convenience but feel I may not be getting full coverage with it.

If they were to do a remake of They Live, this would be a cool way to display the world through the glasses.

Having said that... please don't do a remake of They Live, Hollywood

Wow, that makes me SO afraid to think what my skin must look like under UV. I've had severe Texas sun burns repeatedly, not good.
On a side note, are these people in trouble now for doing 'black face'?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I've been hearing some dissenting voices on the sunscreen argument. The idea being that sun *burns* are what damage the skin, and some amount of sun tan actually prevents that. Also, the health benefits of vitamin D - though there's been some research that sunscreen doesn't block it. http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/beauty/does-sunscreen-block-vitamin-d-20130617-2odov.html

If I had a Northern European complexion I would use it, my choice is to just avoid the rays.

That's weird how they're implying freckles are unhealthy. They're just patches of melanin.

Still, great photography. And I can't think of a better way to convince people that sunscreen works.

Which he must have gotten from a second hand thrift store considering the number of hot pixels in the video.

How much does it cost to get a camera that can do this? I assume it's rather specialized equipment...

@moonsammy At 1:52 and 2:42 you can see it's just an off the shelf Canon DSLR. I'm assuming it has some sort of filter that only allows UV light through.

@jmd I don't think those are hot pixels. Notice the spots aren't always in the same place, and in some scenes aren't there at all. In the last scene the spot only shows up as the UV filter slides over, so it's possibly dust on the lens, filter or sensor.
