I updated the layout on my Youtube Channel to somewhat reflect this site’s layout. I’ll be tweaking it as I have time, but the basic idea is there.
Check it out – I’ve got some more random videos there!
Shooting at one million fps = wow.

This amazing video was shot at ONE MILLION frames per second (over 41,000 times the speed of traditional film). To achieve such frame rate, two Shimadzy HPV-1 cameras running at 312×260 resolution had to be used. The lower resolution allowed them to capture images at a much greater frame rate.
What a great way to spend ten minutes of your Saturday night! Special treat comes in at around 7:30 – hollow points hitting ballistics gel.
Pumpkin Stencils: Time Savers
By using these pretty cool pumpkin stencils, you can save quite some time while carving your good ol’ pumpkins this Halloween. The shapes are at least… interesting. Sure to bring some attention to your party!

Little-known stormtrooper activitiy
Darth Vader's lovely pets
It’s not everyday you see this kind of activity within the Galactic Empire. Given do Darth Vader as a “bonus” of sorts shortly after being granted authority over the 501st Legion of stormtroopers (which actually also got him a personal capital flagship, the Exactor), these three pets play a key role in Vader’s psychological stability.
In this rare shot, Stormtrooper TK48483 and TK78323 are seen feeding the domesticated animals during their free time. You can check out more of what stormtroopers do in their free time through this site: http://wildammo.com/2009/08/09/what-stormtroopers-do-on-their-day-off/
Quote(s) of the day:
- Stormtrooper 1: “You sure this is where we’re supposed to wait?”
- Stormtrooper 2: “That’s what Lord Vader ordered. We’re to capture the Rebel when he tries to enter the computer room.”
- Stormtrooper 1: “Oh. Then I guess we should ignore the alert I’m picking up, huh? The one about the top secret information that’s just been illegally channeled to the kitchen terminal?”

p.s.: I totally want this for my dog (which I don’t yet own but want to in the near future): http://www.costumecraze.com/DOG26.html
Teaser: “Break Away”
Song by Audrey Lee Johson currently being mixed by yours truly.
I was recording some bass lines for a few songs and decided to shoot a video of this one specific solo at the end of the song. Levels are not perfect because I wanted to highlight the solo and I don’t want to spoil the entire properly-mixed end of the song before it’s “released”!

Hint: Hit the “Fullscreen” button beside the volume bar to go…well, full screen. I look a lot worse in full screen, so it makes the whole experience better.
