The non-destructive self destruct

- The problem with trying to make a practical effect where a spaceship explodes is that one cannot simply shove a firework up its bottom, light the blue touch paper and retire to a safe distance. Well, one could do that, but one would have to be damn sure it’s all going to go swimmingly on the first take, otherwise all the bits of plastic that just got shot to bits will have to be swept up and stuck back together for take two!
So, who knew it would be this much work? Well, I kinda did as this idea’s been in the back of my hangover for three years now, so I’m bloody glad something is finally edited and done. And let’s face it, I’m not Industrial Light and Magic here, just a lowly spark whose wasting his weekends desperately trying to make his electrical videos 11% more interesting by adding silly effects.
As for the number of takes, well this little lot ain’t even all of ‘em! And there were at least two occasions where I forgot to press Record. Laugh? Why, I nearly spilled my Pimms & lemonade!
Despite some flashy cameras, the best results were obtained from my Galaxy mobile phone which had to be placed under a sheet of glass while gravity did its thang and sprinkled debris down from on high. I was rather disappointed by my Insta360 camera whose output was… sludgier... than my Samsung.
The ‘navigation lights’ were driven by a 7400 quad two-input nand gate just because I already had one made up from a previous project, although a 555 timer would have been more suitable for the PP3 battery. The 7400 is TTL, so there’s a 5V regulator also on the backside of the model. As stated, the capacitors are switchable to give a fairly even flash rate whether filming at normal or high speed. The flyby shot uses a 200uF cap, the detonation shot uses a 22uF.
Lawks-a-lawdy, did I get through some 5A fusewire! And, may I say, not all fusewire is made equal. Some blew with a theatrical shower of sparks, other brands just kinda fizzled and melted.
Of the three candidate takes, I initially went with number one, however that video got copyright stomped by YT because of the Tardis sound employed near the end of the video. Some asshole has apparently used it in a music track, so heaven forfend if anyone else ever thinks of using it! While editing to change that sound, I figured Candidate 2 was perhaps a better choice and went with that. Now the more I look at it, the more I think Candidate 3 should have been awarded the job. Still, I can’t be arsed to edit it further now. The missus is threatening to leave me if I don't stop pratting about with little spaceships!
Anyway, do enjoy seeing a mackerel tin blow up about a hundred times. The wife and I sure enjoyed it when Take 117 was underway at 1:00 AM last Sunday morning. Oh yes.

you have finally put this m,asterpice out
It was more a case of being drunk and hitting the wrong button in YT Studio! I woke up this morning and it was quite the surprise.
With most channels you subscribe to you know pretty much what you're getting. Bundy does flexi conduit, Jordan prints money..DSES isn't that predictable. Always surprising in a good way 👍
agreed
Kind of reminded me of the original Red Dwarf effects before they went down the CG route. Well done!
This is a the Best video I have seen on UA-cam , not today or this year but ever , I’ve watched it twice it’s fantastic
You're in the accompanying video somewhere. It's an hour and a half long and I won't tell you where though.
This channel is one of the few channels on YT that are genuinely worth watching. Dave is a rather multitalented spark: He must have been held back by Nigel methinks.
Nigel was the just there as the looks while David has the 🧠
Reserve judgement until after the next video (landing later hopefully) as that's dull as all fuck!
@@dsesuk 🤣
Well it's better than the effects on Blakes's Seven..! Rememeber the one where a space ship blew up & all the smoke went up & debris fell down - classic!
Blakes-7 was truly another level of awful. I tried rewatching it for retro entertainment... but... couldn't.
Thanks for this David, so much effort..
You really are a one of a kind bloke. A bit bonkers but that's why I like your vids.
Just awesome!! Sunday never looked so fun at this hour
Zero gravity ejector, brilliant. Projectile vomiting for the 31st, please DS.
Great video - and a prompt to listen to "some asshole" aka KLF and the Timelords.
wow ! a lot of work done here! and thanks a lot for using my music and crediting it properly!
I'm sure by work you mean "pointless nonsense", but your music was a welcome highlight to the thing!
Awesome pal, really well done
Looks good reminds me of Red dwarf
2:45 - It's frickin' Red Drawf! 😀
Hi Dave, brilliant video, I know you put a lot of work into this, however I think it was worth the effort, well done matey. Regards from The old Sod...
Brilliant 😀🖖. From the thumbnail i thought this was just going to be an intro, I had no idea.I was hooked and fascinated all the way to the end. 😃.
NOT missing Nige AT ALL, but adding considerably to the amount of space debris in the near-Earth orbit😜
Using Huel as explosive debris is the perfect use for the stuff
Beats trying to eat it.
You must be bored out of your head, or just too much time on your hands, here’s a 🍺🍺🍺 maybe a few !!! Thank you for keeping my Sundays full of surprises 🥡🥢🥡
That would look great in 3D David with all the debris flying towards the user.
Brilliant! PMSL at the NICEIC sticker on the back…..
Brilliant
Marvellous
Nigel leaves and David hits the crack pipe ... i delved back into the days of Space 1999... well done David
Nice effect and relatively mess free. It is all too easy to make the mistake of using explosives and forgetting to empty the fish can first.
Just missed the Oscars submission cutoff, but a piece of pure great british artistic boffin-ry... fine work Sir... fine work.
I could still be nominated for a Razzie perhaps?
Bloody good effort for just 30s of footage! Impressive and inspiring 👏
Great video - loved the red pram for a camera dolly; and you got someone to film you make the tracking shot - nice
The wife filmed that - she likes to accrue evidence ready for the divorce and my taking over the living room for this nonsense gave her a hell of a lot of ammo.
Afternoon David……very impressive sir, you’re a man of unending talents, 👍👌🇮🇲
Unstarting talents you mean Andy...
Good effort. Like the paint job. Do you have one of those little airbrush thingies?
Blink twice if you're being held hostage by NAPIT 👀
Your the bloke in the pub that you think could not be that clever until u go on the quiz machine and they know things I’ve never heard of. Im sorta the same apart from when I’m on the quiz machine they realise yer I was right above this bloke
i actually liked the chromecast delayed shot as well, gave an interesting effect. for canidates i'dd go for candidate 2
Brilliant! Loved it. Very talented, should get into movies.
I was wondering what you got upto when you weren’t wrestling female customers to the ground 😂. Brilliant effects with the space ship. Great video me old chuck.
Candidate 1 for me. Excellent work, Dave !
Could have been an episode of Blake's Seven or Red Dwarf!
Amazing job Dave, well done! So you spent 5 days on this, I'm guessing 1 day R@D and 1 day to film and edit, and 3 days of vaccuming? :)
Is there anything Huel cannot be used for? Fantastic!
Excellent ! Takes me back to days of Airfix kits and inserted fireworks. This is the ‘big boys’ version. Appreciate the amount of planning and effort you put in. Makes you appreciate all the more the fx in George Lucas films and the like. Thank you !
And Jetex pellets!
Who needs a Stephen when you have “David Spielberg” 👍
@@warren1134 Red Dwarf was good but this was better😳
Okay. It’s Saturday night, I’m a full as a gypsies bra, and I noticed this come up on my feed. Feels like the first time I watched pink floyd the wall off my tits on mushrooms when I was like 12 😅😅
Brilliant!
Love you Dave 😘🤙
Are you missing Nigel mate! Here is the number for the Samaritans……. Only joking excellent video you are obviously a very talented and creative bloke. I’m intrigued to know how that ‘firing mechanism works’ in a detailed how to? I’ve always been fascinated with electrics and electronics (I do auto electrics as a job) that was my third choice to joining the IRA/UDA (I wasn’t that picky) but sadly they disbanded thanks to Trimble and Mowlem! My dreams were left in tatters after Good Friday agreement 😩! So have to make do with my third choice (slave) job…. 2nd was house electrics but was blagged on enrolment day to do engineering by some tutor who said they did electrics too!!!!! Dam them to hell.. with hindsight I should of left after a week but stuck it out for 2 years 🙈.. cheers Dave hope you are well and give nige my best maybe you could do a Christmas special together 👍
This was made back in March when Nige was still on the books! I found there was something cathartic about building a spaceship model, pretending Nige was on it, then blowing it the fuck up!
@@dsesuk😄👍.. it’s a excellent model
Smoke me a kipper, Ill be back for Breakfast
DAVID are you missing NIGEL?
Superb! Brave if you to do the takes indoor - I think the vacuum cleaner must be in overtime! The effect was great - I’m going to send the link to my cameraman friend - he’ll love it!
The trouble with trying to film outside in 2023 is that it barely stopped raining!
Brilliant but wouldn't recommend taking it on the London Underground at the minute ...
BTW I’m sure the fish can was earthed and the AFDD was taking care on any arcing!
Awesome job Mr Savery. I commend you kind sir. Are you sure that electrician is your obvious calling? 🖖🛸☢☣💯
A Star Wars snow speeder sacrificed on the altar of UA-cam. Is nothing sacred?
Thanks
Most generous, I thank you!
@@dsesuk you’re very welcome 😉
Everyone needs a hobby I guess 🤷♂️
Wow, such dedication! Has business been this slow lately?
I should probably be concentrating more on business before we end up going under.
No matter how much I looked, even slowing down the slow-motion i could not find Nige. 😂😅😊
this is just brilent and informative.
Thanks for tuning in to the nonsense as always!
I'm puzzled. Where's the Sparky?
2. But where the hell did that come from Dave 😂
…is this what you did to the Hager AFDD then??
Did you edit this on your g3 mac ?
Ya daft ha'p'orth 😅
I've been on the gin all night and I'm not sure what the fuck just happened...... Im gonna come back tomorrow and maybe the world will be back to normal.......
Quality 😂
Nice 🥸
Blumming marvelous Mr S, well done to you and, I'm presuming your daughter, who helps with the thumbnail illustrations, and played a part in the filming. Very good craftsmanship into all of it and my favourite was the edited candidate #1 as the molten fuse wire wasn't as obvious. It's a pity you couldn't slow it down a tad more for greater effect but it shows how amazing mobile phone cameras are. Might you not get a similar slow-mo effect is you had lighter weight and half as much detritus I wonder? I'm looking forward to watching the selectivity video for what this spectacle was made, I know it will be interesting.... and never too long so no apologies beforehand please.😊
Funnily enough, I went with candidate 1 on the original edit, then changed my mind when I released the Selectivity and Demand video last Easter.
@@dsesuk Oh, I thought there was another DSES cracker on selectivity and demand on the way. That last one was a corker mind.
@@olly7673 All I seem to talk about these days is AFDDs Olly!
i think an old dslr or mirrorless camera with manual focus would help something like a canon eos m or an olympus em1 or a panasonic g9, they are not fancy and reasonably cheap, but able to catpture low light much better, also manual focus on a thing that isnt moving gives certanty :). the origonal eos m has a community of nerds that have hacked the firmware to do special stuff.
hope you had many beer breaks and enjoyed this nonsense :)))) thank you
Gag Value ∝ Effort ⋅ Time Spent
You have way too much time on your hands. Thanks for the entertainment.
In my inebriated state I thought this was a blender special. I had NO idea you actually built it. We need to get you a ladyboy to work off that steam :).
Good video, as was the main feature. You should make this public, interesting to see.
Ah, he booze explains your shocking performance on last week's UT! My modelwork isn't quite to CGI standard and I didn't intend to show any 'making of' otherwise I'd have got more footage of my putting the damn thing together. I suppose it is kind of a shame it doesn't have a wider reach. Maybe I'll click it to public one day!
You say "not george lucas" but i put it at aproximately a 1/4 george effort.
I always like to think I put in as quarter as much as the next guy
I do have one small criticism if I may be so bold… had to watch this with the sound off ,, felt like I was on hold to some fucking unless customer service nonhelp line

Needs more of a DSES fell something along the lines “ I’m 15 pints in and not in the mood for your shit call back later … or not your call means fuck all to me 🖕🖕
big nerds unite
You have way too much time on your hands, but great video!
Far too much time on your hands 😄
Now i know what she sees.......😉
