    I think it's really cool how GoPro sequenced one of the shots looking like it was about to hit a ball, and then suddenly you BECOME the ball, and before you know it you're flying into the mouth of a doggy! Well done GoPro and well done Luke for persevering to get that shot 😁🐕⚾

      Do people not understand the whole point of the GoPro million dollar challenge? At the end of the day it’s a marketing campaign. Do you think the average GoPro user can relate to freediving in the Bahamas? No. Do you think the average GoPro user can relate to playing catch with their dog? Yes. But even beyond that, the hundreds of positive comments, 99% like ratio from thousands of likes clearly show that it’s objectively a good shot.

    This 9:10 is EXACTLY how I remembered and saw the inside of the Belgium Malinois when I was 7 years old, about 35 years ago now... It was a trained family dog, winning a lot of championship stuff over here in Belgium. But I wanted to throw away his fetch thingy and the dog bit me. Nearly lost my eye as a teeth was under my eye. They glued that wound. At the left of my eye they stitched it with staplers and from the top of my head was a wound until the eye (by closing it's mounth) resulting in a 30-ish stitches hehehe... I was very cool the next day at school only being 7 lol... (Dutch speaking so may have grammar faults lol)

    During brainstorming of how to get the ball to fly straight, did you think to attatch the ball to a stick on the back end? That way you can control exactly the path, rotation, etc? I know its not exactly the same as throwing the ball per say, but since you were okay with turning the ball into makeshift missile shape, I was curious if youd have been okay guiding it on a stick. Cool video nonetheless and good luck!

    • @LukeMaximoBell1
      @LukeMaximoBell1  Рік тому +2

      Hey! Good question. I did try that actually. Unfortunately it doesn’t give the organic look of a ball being thrown even after trying over and over. Also, Ollie wouldn’t jump up to catch it. He would kind of just open his mouth without the excitement 😂

    The string was a really good idea, but you couldn't really control the resistance. Just changing it to a short streamer with surface area and more time in the air, would have given you a good arc. Great shot though!

Some people think I just threw the ball into my dogs mouth and I got the shot 😂 but as you can see it was a loooot more than that. Getting this shot was WAY harder than I thought it would be.

Man - I've learned that ANY unique shot takes a lot of preparation and effort - including persistence!! I did a follow-a-skipping-rock-with-FPV-drone video a few years ago, and that took over 100 attempts over a couple of years.
      Love that you took the time to shoot the BTS as you did this!! Was really interesting to watch the evolution of how it happened.
      The Mini was the perfect camera for the arrow shot - I'm not sure there's a camera on the market that would allow it to happen, because of horizon lock, 5.3k 8:7 etc. It was actually easier than I thought, but still took some trial and error. I'll also do a BTS video like yours so you can see the process!

    You built an AER dart. Young bucks need to go back and look at what was being done years ago with GoPro or the shot evolution will just repeat itself.
    But still a great shot.

      I know about AER. They have closed down now. But also, they don’t make one for the GoPro Mini. What people don’t understand about this project is that this ball I made is already as small as possible, and it’s quite a lot larger than a normal tennis ball. Any bigger and it’s not physically possible for Ollie to catch it. Anything but a custom design would have been too big to work.

    Great BTS video on this. What frame rate did you ultimately choose for the final shot, and how come?

    • @LukeMaximoBell1
      @LukeMaximoBell1  Рік тому +2

      Good question! I forget to mention that. I used 2.7k 120FPS 4:3 with hyper smooth on, flat colour, lowest sharpness. I used 2.7k because the shot is SOO difficult to frame I needed as wide of a shot as possible. But also slow motion. I would have used the 8:7 format if it could do 120FPS.

      @@LukeMaximoBell1 thank you for the insight! I’m a first time GoPro user, and I just started my channel recently. It’s been fun, but also tricky to understand all of the settingS. I shot some surfing last weekend in Hawaii at 120fps myself and loved the results.
      Thank you for sharing your process here on UA-cam, it sparked some new ideas 🙌

      No the TPU is very soft. Softer than a tennis ball.

    • @LukeMaximoBell1
      @LukeMaximoBell1  Рік тому

      Complete agree 😂 but the problem is the ball has to be as small as possible. Otherwise he wouldn’t be able to catch the ball. So modifying a normal nerf wouldn’t really work because of the size and shape.
