Ever wonder what sugar being sprinkled on a vibrating strip of metal would look like if you could slow it down to see every bounce, ripple and skip? Or just how a handsaw shimmies when played with a violin bow? Me neither. But if I told you that somebody had also included a clip of a dog shaking off water, or an oil drum being hit with a sledgehammer, all at 1,000 frames per second, you’d want to see it, right?
The video was made by vibration-testing company Fluke, and was shot on a Phantom HD Gold camera at 1,000fps and then slowed down to show what our naked eyes cannot usually see. Apart from the little doggy (so cute) my favorite is the cymbal getting a whack from a drumstick. I thought it might wobble a little, but the thing bends and flops around as if it were made of soft rubber.
I could probably never get enough of these ultra slo-mo clips. The mixture of familiarity and utter strangeness is enough to keep me following the YouTube Suggestions links for the rest of the morning.
