really cool shot to end it and a lot of
And I wanna film something I've never seen before
filming something I've never seen before
with a camera mounted on the sword
with the camera nothing on the store oh
as it cuts off the bad guy's head in slow motion.
the bad guys head in slow-motion before
But before I can do that,
I can do that I need to figure out how
I need to figure out how to build it
to build it and then film it let's put
and then film it. Let's put a GoPro on a sword.
it over on it for GoPro roll video
GoPro, roll video. (camera beeps) Oh my god, it's rolling.
oh my god it's rolling GoPro stop
GoPro, stop recording.
recording the idea is that we have this
The idea is that we have this, like, looking down at the blade, right?
like looking out the blade right thing
You can stick it to things.
okay that looks pretty sweet we want to
Okay, that looks pretty sweet. - We wanna make sure that the blade
make sure that the blade is leaving the
is leading the frame though.
frame so like this about the speed
- [Wren] Oh, so like this. - So that we see the destruction.
reducer this looks pretty sweet
- [Wren] This looks pretty sweet. How's it look going this way?
how does it look going this way that
- [Nick] That looks pretty cool. (Wren roars mildly)
looks pretty cool yeah and we have a few
- And we have a few katanas,
katanas like there's this one but this
like, there's this one, but this is aluminum.
is aluminum just useless for actually
It's useless for actually chopping something.
chopping something we do have one steel
We do have one steel-bladed sword.
bladed sword it's very dull as you can
It's very dull, as you can see. (mimics flesh ripping) Niko does have a really nice high-quality katana.
see Niko does have a really nice high
Maybe he'll let us use it for this. - Uh, I'm gonna say no.
quality katana maybe he'll let us use it for them I'm gonna say no can't Han
- (Sighs) Okay.
sorry okay
- I'm sorry. - Okay.
unfortunately this will have to be
Unfortunately, this will have to be the sword we use.
destroyed used it's not ideal
It's not ideal. Now our issue is how do we sharpen this?
now our issue is how do we sharpen that
This is steel.
this is steel what if we actually just
What if we actually just take a belt sander to it?
take a belt sander to it no it's either
- Yeah, let's try it. - It's either that or we don't do this video.
battery going to this video
(energetic music)
you [Music]
I mean, that's kinda working.
I mean that kind of working dude if we
- [Nick] Dude, if we hit that with some smooth. - [Sam] May I test it?
hit that with some smooth beautiful sir
It feels a little sharp. Oh! (group shouting) Not bad, not bad.
oh this is sort us number one with the
- This is sword test number one with a mini watermelon. (relaxed electronic music)
mini watermelon madness that is
That is officially sharp.
officially sharp let's go look at the
Let's go look at the footage. - [Nick] How's the footage look? - [Wren] It's cool, I guess. - [Nick] What do you mean, "it's cool, I guess?"
footage cooling ass reporter well looks
- Well, it's like it's so fast.
like it's so fast
(mimics whooshing) Did you see it?
did you see it wait that's going to be
Way faster than we expected.
expected if I go through frame by frame
If I go through frame by frame, we now see the watermelon and the cut.
we've now seen the watermelon and the
There's way too much motion blur.
cut there's way too much motion blur
Even though that we're recording at 120 frames per second,
even though that we're recording at 120
the motion blur is so intense. (sighs) We wanna have as little motion blur as possible,
frames per second the motion blur is so intense we want to have as little motion
which means we have to have a very high shutter speed,
blur as possible which means we have to have a very high shutter speed which
which means we need to have a lot of light.
means we need to have a lot of light we
We can go up to the roof,
can go up to the roof where we actually
where we actually get more direct sunlight.
get more direct Sun like that should in
That should, in theory, provide enough light
theory provide enough light for that the
so that the shutter speed doesn't have to be dropped.
shutter speed doesn't have to be dropped
- [Nick] Let's go check it out.
let's go check it out see ya so for the
- [Wren] Dude, yeah, so far, the motion blur, there's none.
motion blur there's none I mean that was
I mean, that was a good test right there.
a good test right there no motion blur
No motion blur. - [Nick] What? - Well, I mean, 100% chance of rain tomorrow.
well I mean 100 percent chance of rain
- [Nick] Dang it!
tomorrow big this is going to be
- This is gonna be something that we just
something that we just have to play by
have to play by ear. Play by sight.
ear play by sight
I got it.
[Music]
Get the GoPro on. (camera beeping) (water gurgling) Okay, ready?
get the GoPro on okay ready can we wait
- [Nick] I think I'm ready.
for that to come around them and slice
- Okay, I'm gonna wait for that to come around and then I'm gonna slice through. Okay, ready? - [Nick] Go for it.
through hey right there are not two
(Wren shouting) (relaxed electronic music) (Wren grunting)
- There are now to GoPros on this sword
GoPros on the stores and we're going to
and we're gonna get both angles at the same time.
get both angles at the same time
Alright, this is it, this is the cut. (Wren mimics whooshing) (group shouting)
all right this is it this is the cut I
I needed to have the camera more angled though.
needed to have the camera more angles Oh
(groans) What we learned is that
Oh what we learned is that this looks
this looks pretty sweet in slow motion,
pretty sweet and slow-motion but the
but the camera placement could have been way better.
camera placement could have been way
- Show me what you got. (Sam mimics slow whooshing)
better show me what you got oh that was
That looks so cool.
so cool
All those little flecks of paint,
all those little flecks of paint like
like, that looks so cool.
that's so quick and like seeing the Jude
And seeing the juice go (mimics warping).
go with the water yeah if you put the
Yeah, if you put the sword over there,
sword over there unless I to frame
on the left side of frame, suddenly, all that chopping action
suddenly all that chopping action is
is gonna be in the shot now.
going to be in the shot right haven't it
- Right, I have an idea. So we have two GoPros,
so we have two GoPros one is corridors
one is Corridor's, one is Nick's.
one is NICs so here's the blade we have
So here's the blade. We have one GoPro here looking down the blade
one GoPro here looking down the blade
and then we take the second GoPro
and then we take the second GoPro and
and put it straight up horizontal along the blade.
put it straight up horizontal along the
And this one will see all of the debris that flies out
blade and this one will see all the
and the other GoPro will see the cut.
debris that lies out any other GoPro
(gasps) And then what if we can somehow
will see the cut and then what if we can
stitch those shots together for a super wide shot?
somehow stitch those shots together for
That's a little high level.
a super wide shot that is a little high
I don't know if I can do that.
level I don't know if I can do that oh
That would be cool though.
that would be cool though
We might have a bit of stitch mark,
we might have a bit at a stitch mark but
but that wouldn't,
that looks I mean it's just janky
I mean, if it's janky, embrace the jank. It is what it is.
embrace' jank as it is listen I came in
- I came in today to find that Nick and Wren
today to find that Nick and Ren hadn't
hadn't gotten the footage
gotten the footage that they were
that they were looking for yesterday
looking for yesterday and apparently
and, apparently, they've been working on this video now
they've been working on this video now
for two or three days.
for two or three days this is the last
This is the last day to get the footage
day to get the footage that they need to
that they need to get in order to make this video cool
get in order to make this video cool for
or we're scrapping this whole project.
scrap in this whole project I'm trying
- So I'm trying to line these up so that I have
to line these up so that I have the
the right 25% of this camera matching up
right 25% of this camera matching up
with the left 25% of this other camera
with the left 25% of this other camera
so that I can have them overlapping.
so that I could have them overlapping
I'm gonna shoot, you ready? - [Nick] Go for it.
any chance ready
(relaxed electronic music)
[Music]
- Hey! Nick, not bad.
hey Nick not bad I think that turned out
I think that turned out well.
well one maybe two more and then we go
One, maybe two more and then we go check the footage. I don't know, man. It's gonna be weird.
check the footage oh man and weird stuff
The stuff in the distance lines up really nicely
in the distance lines up really nicely
but stuff right next to the cameras,
but stuff right next to the cameras they
they don't match up quite as nicely.
don't match up quite as much so the way
The way we fix this is by trying to get the lenses
we fix it is by trying to get the lenses
as close to each other as physically possible.
as close to each other is physically
Like this.
popped like this so I'm just going to
So I'm just gonna create a couple, like,
create a couple like super super small
super, super small wood things to help support this.
wood things help support now I made a
So now I made a bit of a wedge.
bit of a wedge not perfect or anything
It's not perfect or anything,
but hopefully it'll get the job done
but hopefully it'll get the job done. A very, very dumb thing I'm about to do.
very very dump thing I'm about to do hey
Hey, hey, Carmichael.
hey Carmichael
- [Nick] You're right in time for the dumb thing.
you're right in time for the dumb thing
- Always am.
alright then I am hot gluing this piece
- I am hot gluing this piece of wood to the GoPro.
of wood to the bill pearl alright so
Alright, so here is the final alignment.
here is the final alignment at this
At this point, we just gotta get this thing filming
point we just got to get this thing
'cause we're gonna be losing light. (tense music)
going we're going to be losing light red
- [Nick] Wren, we have 15 minutes to shoot.
we have 15 minutes this year here come
- Dear god, man! - [Nick] No! Hold on, GoPro. No, Wren, my GoPro!

This was our little 15-minute GoPro rig.
everything we have this is our little
We are just in time, we're about to lose light.
15-minute GoPro rig we are just in time we're about to lose light so hopefully
So hopefully, we still have enough
we still have enough so that the
so that the background isn't motion blurred.
background is a motion blurred so we got
(grunts)
what we got if it doesn't work it
So we got what we got and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
doesn't work that is what it is let's go
It is what it is. Let's go look at the footage.
look at the footage these guys have been
- So these guys have been rolling
rolling on swords cutting through like
on swords cutting through fruit for about a week now.
fruit for about a week now and we're
And we're gonna finally get to see the footage.
going to finally get to see the footage
I am super excited.
I'm super excited okay so this is the
- Okay, so this is the first rig
first rig where it's just the regular
where it was just the regular mounts and cameras. (group chuckling) - [Man] Oh, on the drill. (mimics slashing)
mounts of cameras drill oh that's right
That's sweet. - [Man] Oh, that's nice.
did you spin all the way around and hit
- [Man] Did you spin all the way around and hit it a second time?
it a second time those are hooks that's
- Those are cool. That stuff's sweet.
up creep that's really cool that's cool
- That's really cool. - That's cool. - [Man] This oddly reminds me of Fruit Ninja, the VR game.
it's oddly reminds me of VR game this is
- [Wren] This is essentially 1000 frames a second.
essentially a thousand frames a second
- [Man] Interpolation?
your voice oh I'm gonna make it through
- (Groans) You didn't make it through! - I was just, I just did like, the half thing 'cause I was like, oh, I've been going too fast.
oh no no I have to go too fast all those
I'll go slower and then it was like
floors it was like it didn't make us
it didn't make it through!
zeros like though
It was like no! So the second rig was the super janky one,
so the second rig was a super janky one
but it still works.
but it still works check it out so here
Check it out. So here is it without any blending.
is it without any blending the two
Just the two frames lined up.
frames lined up and the sword actually
- Oops. - And the sword actually bent a whole lot on that shot. (Niko laughing)
spent a whole lot of that shot what
(mimics whooshing) - [Sam] That one looks like--
isn't like just like the like modern
- [Niko] This is like the modern cubist, like, drawings.
like Sheila's oh yeah there we go
- Oh yeah, there we go. That somehow ended up being
that is it was somehow into the beam one
one of the coolest things so far.
of the coolest things of us so here's
- So here's the blended shot
the blended shower in like the repeat
where I did, like, the repeat edges stuff, and, like, a feathered mask.
edges stuff and like a feather mask I
Just to kind of try to get some semblance of--
kind of try to go somewhere close yeah a
- [Sam] Yeah, that was a little gnarly there.
little I think you'd gnarly there a
- [Niko] It looks like you need to sharpen
little bit
your sword a little bit. - [Niko] Oh!
oh no what happened is that you got to
- [Wren] No, what happened is that it got deflected and it was wanting to go up while I was still pulling it.
select the news wanting to go up while I
It was too sharp.
was still pulling it it was too dark
That was the issue.
that was the issue Ren Nick that's are
- Wren, Nick, that turned out really good.
not really good that would be the
That would be the ultimate fatality shot in a sword fight.
ultimate fatality shock skies and you're
- Guys. - Yes? - You're not fired anymore. Congratulations.
not fired
