Slicing an Arrow in Half Mid-Air in Slow Motion - The Slow Mo Guys

Can Dan slice an arrow in half mid air and deflect it away from the target? Can Gav shoot the arrow at Dan without accidentally impaling him? Will they film it in Slow Mo? Definitely yes on that last question. Broken Monitor 2nd channel video - • Accidentally breaking ...

Slicing an Arrow in Half Mid-Air in Slow Motion - The Slow Mo Guys

[@theslowmoguys]

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

[@TheNerdyRambler]

@@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.

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.

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.

I like to think this, as a demonstration of a regular soldier with unexpected swordsmanship, vindicates Finn's ability to use a lightsaber for more than twenty seconds.

[@wintertrooper7918]

A lightsaber is just the hilt with superhot plasma blade that weighs nothing

[@jacobstaten2366]

With a lightsaber, there is no edge alignment to worry about and (if you count the "lore," which I don't) a magnetic field. Someone measured the speed of the bolts relative to the hight of the actors as around 60mph, the same as a soccer penalty shoot out. Between that, the warning report, and the bright color, it should be a lot easier for Finn.

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.

[@jacobstaten2366]

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.
