  • It's Giant Balloon June! Gav shoves the slow camera inside a giant 6ft water balloon. Dan is on the outside. Can he make it in using only his head? Yes. Yes he can.

    That first shot, where Dan just absolutely dive bombs into it like an airplane that's been shot down, is solid gold. What an absolute legend, fully committed to the task

      Just the fact that he was completely out of frame and just slowly going towards it was peak comedy! All it needed was a slowmo roar of defiance, just *RAAAAAAAGH!*

    Next year, similar idea, but instead of a Danicorn, you just place the balloon at the end of a slip n slide. This will enable Dan to pick up enough speed to blast through it AND have reduced chance (probably) of spinal injury!

    Seeing the Baby high chair in Dan's house footage took me for a shock. Never thought of the idea that he'd have kids. Congrats tho.

    I love how in the first shot, Dan just absolutely did not need to run at it. He could have just started out on all fours and slammed his head down, but he chose to run at it and dive headfirst.

    This channel is the equivalent of quality not quantity. The pacing of videos and fascination we will always have with slow mo pretty much guarantees long term success.

    I agree with Gavin, the first attempt did look oddly menacing from the inside. Like some sort of otherworldly creature trying to enter this plane of existence

    You know, it occurred to me recently that Dan might be the single most photographed human in existance. Like, there are celebrities with months worth of video of them, but because he's been the subject of so many slow-motion videos for this channel, there real potential that he's the most photographed human who's ever lived

    • @drgnicefire
      @drgnicefire ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Particularly when you consider that 4 seconds of footage on the slo-mo camera is somewhere between hours to days of footage, depending on the frames its shot at...

    I had to pause at 4:45, laugh for like 5 minutes, replay it, watch it frame by frame, and watch it a few more times. I haven't laughed that hard in so long. Scorpion is right!
    I hope Dan didn't hurt himself too bad. Don't forget you two are getting older, you could end up with a sore spot that lasts! Thank you for your commitment, though, Dan. Maybe it's payback for laughing at that old guy.

    I think the coolest thing is at 11:36, while Dan is encased in water, if you look at the right side of the screen there are droplets hitting his "water skin" leaving ripples like a raindrop in a pool despite the fact that everything going on with every aspect of those moments is moving. His shoulder and the water encased around him have near the same velocity/direction, so the ripples spread around the curvature of his shoulder in near perfect circles like nothing at all was moving.
