Richard Ryan does it for science and Shark Week:
The always interesting behind the scenes:
Yea I know about physics, but I still love how water takes a fired bullet and is like “Uh.. NO”…. slows it right down, and hits the bottom of the pool.
I say it all the time, but Richard Ryan knows his way around a slow motion camera that’s for sure. A few times he references another slow motion underwater shooting video his friend made which I posted a few weeks ago which you should check out if you already haven’t.
I’m trying to figure out how someone in California can stay that white! I thought I was white, but Richard’s lack of a tan in the pool footage makes me look like Wesley Snipes. haha and I wear sunscreen too! SPF 60 on the head and neck area, and SPF 30 on my arms and legs when I’m outside. I even smell like all beachy like a girl… yea it’s a side effect which caught me off guard at first but now I just embrace it. I’m old and I have a girlfriend (my not-so-humble-glad-not-forever-alone brag #Jessica #<3), why should I care about having a manly outdoor recreational smell? You young single guys can get skin cancer and cook outside smelling like Tom Selleck trying to holla at shawty in the fly two-piece who grabbed her purse and went for her pepper spray as soon as the words “Boo, I think you and me should…” came out of your skeevy little mouth. Note that I used “Tom Selleck” on purpose just to throw you a curve ball so you’d have to google or ask your dad about him.
Supercavitation ammo which he talks about at the end of the video sounds badass!
Richard is wearing the AR-15 Builders Club t-shirt and the Keep Calm And Carry One t-shirts from ENDO Apparel in the vids.
Thoughts?
I gotta say I’m jealous of that camera. If I had one I’d probably never get any work done because i’d be too busy filming useless crap.
Oh what I wouldn’t give for a slow-motion camera like that. Even something as simple as water dripping out of a tap looks amazing at 18000 fps.
I could watch stuff like that all day. Killer music too.
