Filming a Rocket Motor Through a Sugary Snowstorm (Paul Snow)

September 9, 2023
Filming Sugar Rockets is a risky and often unfruitful business. These motors love to eject enormous clouds of matter, assuming they don't explode from one of many failure modes common to sugar propellant. Normally I wouldn't risk putting my cameras so close to one, especially not my latest and most expensive 4K camera. I made an exception for Paul Snow's latest motor though, and luckily, I was able to capture some decent footage through the clouds.
