D:I'm Dan.

G:We're the slow mo guys and you may have noticed it's the middle of the night.

G:What does that mean Dan?

D:Well usually, when we're filming we use the sun to light our subject,

D:But today our subject creates its own light,

D:So it's better to do in the dark.

G:Don't even need the sun. And because it's Texas, in the summer,

G:we're stood out here at 1:00 in the morning in shorts and a t-shirt.

D:Still sweaty.

G:Still sweaty.

G:This video is sponsored by Google, and to help us make it we're gonna be using the Google pixel 3A XL.

G:You'll find out more about it in a bit.

D:We've done a video before where I was spinning wire wool...

G:Yeah.

D:...in the night

G:And I thought how do we escalate that and I thought, 'how do we escelate that'?

G:And I thought, we've got two arms.

G:But why stop at two, when you've also got two legs?

D:So then I thought that's just me spinning around and there's a machine that does that already. Yeah, yeah. Me just going like this.

G:So you found a machine with four limbs? \

D:Yeah! Funny that, it's a shop fan... that I've...

D: hooked up here and taken the outside off of.

G:This is comical and, uh, I'll be honest...

G:we have not tested this in the slightest.

D:No idea if it's gonna work

G:Absolutely none.

D:I think we should just plug it in and see what happens.

G:That's probably for the best.

G:All right. Uh..

G:It's a dangerous one. Don't try this at home.

G:What've you got safety-wise?

D:Well because we're obviously dealing with sort of burning metal sparks...

D:I'm gonna put this fireproof suit on- a fire resistant suit on- to help me protect me from the heat,

D:as well as a balaclava, and some gloves...

D:...and some goggles, so that the sparks can't find their way to my skin.

G:I said balaclava to an American recently and they thought it was some kind of dessert.

D:Baclava?

[Laughter]

D:What do you mean?

G:I will also be in a protective suit because I'm actually probably more in the line of fire than you are.

D:You actually are, because the wire wool is gonna be spinning away from me into you.

G:Yeah.

D:I think I remember last time we were doing this, I was fine and you were just like *ah! ah! ah! ah! ah!*

G:[Chuckles] This is raining down on my head!

G:So first of all, Dan's just gonna spin it on his hand again, like last time, there's a little refresher,

G:and I'm gonna use the...pixel's...

G: 'night sight' feature

G:Because I've heard it has great low-light capability, for a still, almost like a long exposure.

G:So we'll see if I can see him once we turn this light off.

G:Are you ready? Feeling ready?

D:I'm feeling pretty ready.

G:Alright.

G:It's gonna be so... bloody dark.

D:It really is.

D:Oh my god.

D:Oh! [laughs]

G:Okay, go for it.

G:It's lovely!

G:Still works well.

D:Yeah, it does. Look at that. That is cool.

D:I've always wanted to get pictures like that with my phone, always!

D:I've never been able to.

D:It looks like a I'm a human Catherine Wheel.

G:For this subject, as we learned last time ,we are going to film it in a slightly different way to usual,

G:with a lower frame rate,

and a very high shutter angle as big as we can get without 359 degrees.

G:So that each frame will be full of motion blur, and those streaks will be as long as possible.

G:If we did a higher shutter speed...

G:180 like where we usually are,

G:Our trails will be cut in half, and if we go all the way up to a thousand frames a second,

G:there won't be trails, they'll be dots.

G:You've got like an 80 foot shadow behind you

G:That's pretty cool. Alright, you ready?

D:Turn the light off!

G:Lights off!

G:Whoa!

D:Aah!

G: You all right?

G:Woah!

D:Was that good?

G:Yeah, that look class! Did it speed up once they all flew off?

D:[chuckling] Yeah!

G:[laughs]

G:Ohh, That's class!

D:Wow. You can see the bits flying off and then landing on stuff.

D:There's no way that I could achieve that as a person.

G:Well, you don't have enough arms.

D:No, I don't. That's true.

D:A-as they kept flying off it was like *Dan making weird fan noises*

D:And it kept, like moving around like it was heavier at certain points. Then I was like, oh god, it's like...

G:Woah! Look at that bit!

G:There's just one throwing everything there.

D:They take turns, dont they?

G:Yeah.

G:Little bit nervous about this one.

D:Oh, me too.

D:You'll be alright.

G:Will I?

D:I'm just prancing because I can't see anything you don't to step on any rocks. There it is.

D:We're ready?

G:Yeah.

G:Ooh, bloody hell.

*Gav getting hurt by the sparks*

G:God, its so painful!

G:Okay, that really hurts.

D:Does it really?

G:It's peppering my legs, like it's going straight through the suit!

D:Really?

G:Yeah!

D: It it very temporary, though?

G:Oh, yeah, it's like a bunch of tiny knives!

G:Okay, bit of playback...

D:Oh, Sick! It looks like I'm doing it with my hands.

G:Yeah, looks like, you've got, like, 'leet toy skills.

D:You know, yeah that's cool, [inaudible]

G: [chuckling] And it's me getting peppered!

D:Hold the camera steady, for goodness sake. Not that I was trying to get you or anything,

D: but I was definitely trying to get you.

G:Yeah, we're so really going for a Dutch angle here. That's what I wanted.

D:Oh, yeah, yeah...

G:I was thinking Battlefield Earth.

D:It was a stylistic choice.

G:Yeah, yeah...

D: Of course.

G:[Inaudible] All these ones they're going below camera. It's just peppered me in the crotch area.

D:I don't think I even need safety gear for this.

G:Augh.

G:Look at that one, it blasted the bottom of the lens- the bottom- like, hit the hood.

[Gav and Dan making swooshing noises]

G: I wonder if I could be under there with you, do you think I'd be alright?

D:Oh, you'd be fine.

D:I mean they're only danger is these huge globs of falling fire...

G:But if I was just at your legs, looking up at you?

D:Oh that would work

G:That would be alright, I wouldn't it?

D:That would work.

G:What is going on?

D:If hold it up like this.

G:It's about 3:00 in the morning, and I'm on my back in a quarry.

[Dan chuckles]

D:Ready?

G:Yep.

G:Whoa!

G:Oh, my god!

D: Oh, Man!

G: Aah! Where am I!?

[Dan chuckles]

D:Looks like i'm holding up a... plate of doom.

[Gav laughs]

There was a couple of eh...

G: You're havin' a whale of a time!

D: Yeah, I'm loving it

G:There was a couple of sparks that went down on to you, I was watching.

D:It's like I'm showering you from like, fireworks or something.

G:Look at you, having so much fun.

D: I was having fun!

G:Look how safe it is under there.

D:It's perfect. I didn't get any sparks on you at all.

D:It's all going away from me and I'm protected by the wood if something did- did just drop.

G:Yeah.

G:We're really attracting a lot of bugs!

D:Well, we've got a huge big light.

G:It's true.

D:And there's no moon or any other light source.

[Gav laughs]

G:All right, what you gonna do this time?

D:I'm gonna spin it around in all kinds of directions, just go a bit nuts with it

G:Balaclava back on.

D:Balaclava in that back on because it's going everywhere.

D:Bloody hell.

G:Really kicked off at the end there.

D:It really did!

Some went miles away, look.

G:Those ones that end up directly coming towards the camera they end up so big those little flares.

D:Yeah, they just smash towards the camera.

D;They're dropping right in front of it, look, and then like some of them I think I aim directly at you at one point,

D:it was just sparks flying straight at you.

G:That's cool when it goes behind you and you're just a silouette.

D:Yeah that is cool, like I'm back lit by the sparks.

G:What about this:

G:We'll take the pixel that Google lovingly sent us,

G:and ape it on to the fan

G:Facing out get a crazy shot sort of POV blade

G:of all the sparks shooting at us.

D:Do they want this phone back or...?

G:We might be able to give it back in one piece.

D:Okay. Well, let's try it.

G:Ooh, dear.

G:Is it a bit uh... bit wobbly?

D:Yeah, super woobly, look.

G:Well, jostle it around!

D:It stayed on the fan. I tilted it down slightly so I could get more of the um

D:The metal foiling.

G:It looks like a plain wing.

Both:WOAH!

G:The sound effect is perfect as well, you don't need to do any [inaudible] it's just amazing.

G:You know at old sci-fi movies where it's like oh, you know go to warp speed all the stars like *weird noise* that's like from the side window

G:Thats the angle. did you hear the rattling of the fan going *dk dk dk dk*?

That was when it was like getting up some *serious* speed.

G:I think we got some...

G:magnificent looking footage there.

D:I just have to call to attention the fact that you're wearing your safety gear around your ankles like you're about to go to the toilet.

G:Well They can't see- I saw right before I started filming, I just sort of went

G:I peeled off but I'm just stood in the dread, now.

D:Could you imagine what it looks like when a man takes his trousers off and

D:Like puts them on the toilet

D:looks like that!

G: Ijust thought I could get away with it until you called it out.

G:I think we got some really nice-looking footage. I really love the dome...effect.

D:It made a big difference because usually I had the one,

D:but with this I had four and the sparks were in all directions.

I much preferred four. It was like a solid sheet, 360 sheet of sparks. Thought was wonderful.

G:Big old thanks to Google for sponsoring this video had a lot of fun using the pixel 3A XL

G:I was very impressed by the 'night sight' mode. I don't know how it works, but...

G:It must use stabilization to take the long exposure.

G:I've only ever done long exposure on tripods because doing this you'd get this

G: all blurring the whole thing is somehow stabilizes.

G:One thing I noticed: the darker of the picture is the longer it takes to take an image.

G:So there's some some cool tech going on there. don't know how that works...

D:Someone smarter than you has worked that out...

G:There's some time in.

D:I also like the fast charging and I plugged it in when we first got it,

D:it told me how long it was gonna take and it said 'charging rapidly,' or 'charging fast,'

D:and it was just super quick

G:We've got a second channel. Subscribe to that one, subscribe to this one. There's a bell, hit us up on the socials.

G:Anything else?

D:Yeah, I'm gonna start trying to fill up Google and just... taking pictures and recording everything now.

G:We'll see you in the next video.
