    For those confused - the regular camera is filming at 50fps and edited in a 50fps timeline. The phantom is filming at 1000fps placed in the timeline at a playback speed of 25fps so each frame is doubled in the 50fps timeline. This means that all normal footage is much smoother looking and all the phantom footage is still played as slow as possible at 25fps. Why 50 instead of 60? 25 doesn’t fit into 60 very easily. Why 25 instead of 30? It means our phantom footage doesn’t get sped up. -Gav

      Very late but first of all the samurai wouldnt be a few feet away from the archer unless they were able to get close enough to the archer and second of all, the samurai would have been aimed at rather than a target over his shoulder and with the samurai trying to decrease the distance between himself and the archer, the arrows would be harder to slice and dodge

      @@unauthenthic so to be clear you're saying they would be further away which would mean they would have more time to react, and at the target would be of their centre mass which would be closer to their sword.
      Saying this untrained person who's never used a samurai sword was able to hit an arrow in mid air but the target was near him there for a master samurai can't makes no sense

  • @r12e5p
    @r12e5p 5 років тому +34

    By shooting that same arrow in a shorter length, you effectively increased the arrow spine, making it stiffer. If you have any shots from above or behind, you can probably see the tail end whipping further to the right than the normal length arrows. This would have been what made the arrow go further to the left than the point of impact that you got used to. You guys should really consider doing some experiments on the Archer’s Paradox. It would be pretty brilliant with your equipment. Sorry about the small HD, but I think it’s loss was worth this amazing video. Brilliant job!

      It doesn't look like THE most powerful bow, but then again most people can't fire those- the speed of an arrow tops out somewhere around 200 miles per hour. Baseball players are able to hit a much shorter target travelling around 100 miles per hour, which might be closer to the speeds we're talking about here. It's probably a much less improbable task than it seems, still pretty impressive though Dan!

    I love slow-mo because it shows us the world we live in. One of my favorite videos was them filming the speed of light. The numbers were incredible. It would take thousands of years to watch some of that footage. I say this on this video because Dan's reaction is a myriad of things that are as close to instant as possible. His eyes focusing takes so many electrical connections , then that being sent to the brain to process what is happening, then that judging the timing necessary to make contact with the arrow, then that being sent to his arms/hands to swing to hit the arrow. And all of that comes together and he does it! All the while our nervous system is sending electrical signals for our heart to beat, to sweat, to digest food, to make urine, to make goosebumps, to grow hair and nails, to smell, to hear, etc.

      The laser bolts move at about 60mph, the same speed as a penalty shootout in soccer. Add to that the bright color, sound que, and edge alignment not really being a thing with lightsabers and it should be a lot easier.

    you know how there are some skills that translate?

    What on earth has dan been doing to obtain a 100% slice rate on moving arrows?

    I have to admit, that the entire time you were explaining what you wanted to do, I had expected a complete train wreck with about 3 minutes of a montage footage of you just missing and running to retrieve the arrows over and over. For you to chop the head clean off, with a full swing on the very first try.... umm... yeah... so that is in fact impressive. I am very impressed.
