Flamethrower Versus Fire Extinguisher at 1000 Frames per Second

  • Michael Zhang · Jul 29, 2010
 

Lets say you had an uber-expensive Phantom slow motion camera, a flamethrower, and a fire extinguisher at your disposal. What would you do?

Well… probably this!

This is official music video for the song Ritalin by Dancing Pigeons. It was shot on a Phantom camera at 1000 frames per second.

    Wow, that was incredible. I like the music almost as much as the slow-motion video. Great find.

  • David

    agreed

  • Eric_Allison

    Definitely a (good) change from the average music video with 1/4 second clips mashed together.

    Slow motion again, and it impressed me again. This video make me remind to “Dragon Ball” movie. lol

  • Heather

    okay I admit, my first thought at the end of this was “well, who won?”

    my second thought was “who cares, that was AWESOME.”

  • 12yroldtwatabovethis

    that was amazing.

  • SonOfaBeech

    those dudes were butt ugly.

  • Seygantte

    they were standing too far apart :/

  • Cvbzsdv

    Not nearly as cool as I was expecting :(

  • proske

    I thought this would be done by 2 guys in inflammable at really close range. That would've made an immense movie!
    This is totally not cool, well, not as cool as it could've been anyways.

  • Willem_provoost

    In “inflammable suits” I meant. forgot the word suit. Sorry for that :p

  • Notanemail

    proske, you whine to much.

    awesome! but kind of irritating being like, “FIRE! MOVE, ALREADY! DAMMIT!” :( and oh my god those teeth were horrifying, i do hope they were not real :s

  • John

  • anon864

    The concept makes it good. The faces make it great.

  • hulli

    their level of ugliness gave me a headache

  • guest

    flammable = inflammable dumbass

  • hohoy

    What a waste of time. Got to give them credit for finding the ugliest guys ever.

  • Foolstoe

    I would appreciate more footage of the flames hitting the fire extinguisher than of the camera pointed at both of the men with their mouths open, the older man in the car, and the dog barking.

  • Sfans

    Two words… Gum disease.

  • Ashpea86

    Did this remind anyone else of when Harry Potter and Voldemort have their final battle? Just me then? Ok. :-/

  • Anon

    I was expecting an actual flamethrower and an actual fire extinguisher. Instead I got some fairly convincing CG and two ugly guys.

  • helen

    absolutely great concept, one problem tough, why an old guy in the driver seat? You could easily substituted him with someone like the HOPA…

  • YahooSerious

    yeah if they got much closer the flamethrower would have been eating bbq for breakfast.

  • jamacajamaca

    To all you bitches out there who complained…clearly you don’t get the point. It’s a music video, JESUS. music foreground, video background. And this video was awesome! Good music!

  • http://www.natureisawesome.net th3fish

    incredible! those guys are wicked ugly tho…

  • Jryantaylor

    This was a great vid.

  • JohnnyFriendship

    Interesting video, but seriously, why the hell is it necessary to have them look like that? Ugly people are a bad thing.

  • guest

    You’re all dicks. those dudes looked interesting. Ugly isn’t always a bad thing, it gives people character.

  • emily

    No, they were amazing.

  • emily

    too much
