After posting the video "Popping A Water Balloon", I was pointed towards looking for better and longer slow motion videos for folks who will enjoy everyday objects reacting in manners quite alien to us. Well, thank goodness it's Friday because I've got two whoppers for you! Two great videos of slow-mo excellence:
The first video is a compilation of various YouTube clips that were created through the process of high speed cameras catching every movement and every detail that the normal eye cannot process as quickly or clearly.
The second video - and by far my favorite - is by a group called "Lucid Movement" who have filmed incredible images and scenes with high speed cameras as well. This compilation is a look at up to six months worth of filming and processing that really pays off as you'll see.
So, if you're at the office/school/home sit back and take a coffee break to enjoy these videos because I guarantee that you'll be saying, "Whoa!" with anbemused amused look on your face. If there is anything to take away and learn from watching these is that we should all stop, relax, take a deep breath, and slow down to enjoy the World around us.
I would like to thank Thespian24601 for pointing me towards the first video and to Lucid Movement. Oh, and please register with a shorter name! ;)

However, I don't know that "Lucid Movement" is the most accurate title. It seems to me that the slowing down of these common events brings to light more hidden features... not lucid ones.
Darn my artsy nature! Oh, and Thespian24601 I'm sure you could try to register with that name. Though... ;)
thanks
The song is the famous Pachelbel's Canon in D Major. :)

I.. don't think you used 'bemused' correctly here. Why would I have a confused expression?
Well, I guess I used the word 'bemused' to point that after saying, "Whoa!" you'd sit there perplexed at the absurdity of what you just saw. But I see what you mean...even looking at it now it looks odd. ;)
I preferred the first.
The first one was interesting, but I did prefer the second one, even if it is considered 'artsy'. Great interface between music/video.
ive no idea about classical music at all.. but ive always really liked that piece..
If you like Pachelbel’s Canon then you should check this out:

Thank you for that. I am sending it to every cellist I have ever known. Too freakin' funny.
Second video - Was that first water bit rain? If it was, I always thought all rain drops were the same size. There's no reason they should be, but I had no idea there was a difference from one drop to another.
