Popping water balloons with a Bokken in slow motion.

This creates a bullet time or matrix effect that a poor man can afford. When I saw this I had to try it myself. The weekend came and I drove to B&Q and got a ceiling fan for £20 (note if you are thinking of doing this yourself I recommend a better ceiling fan as mine looked like it was going to fall off and kill me). I also bought a £5 piece of wood to bridge the gap between my shed like bedroom roof and the apple tree in our garden. Also note that I had to get some old cable and a spare plug head to be able to wire it so you can plug it in. Also note that playing with water with extension cords nearby is dangerous! Fireworks are expensive and not something I could fire off randomly in our garden, we have ducks and chickens haha, water balloons is the next best thing. Shot on the GoPro Hero 3 Black edition at 240fps. Edited in after effects by me (Gideon Henwick). No twixtor effects. Music : Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture. The Sword I am swinging is a wooden sword called a Bokken, it is sized and shaped like a katana normally used for training...I have no formal training I just mess about haha. I used a tennis racket because we were watching wimbledon! Andy Murray won! To use this video in a commercial player or in broadcasts, please email gideonhenwick@gmail.com
