I enjoy your work. Just wondering if the slowmo files are video or one file per frame. If per frame and a compressed file, I wonder if you can just look for a change in file size to see when the action starts. Also can the cameras detect changes from frame to frame and flag them somehow?
@@Dielawn69 How do you figure that? He was barely in anything besides F**kface for the last half a decade. He was usually doing slow mo guys or projects like this anyway.
could you imagine what the show would have looked like with the camera tech we have now ohhh please make a special mythbusters episode with all these new fancy cameras ... the cement truck in 8k slowmo uurrgghhhh i need it
I feel like one of the biggest contributions to the world Adam and folks like him have done is the enthusiasm. not just about science but that is a big part of it. it's "This thing is so cool!" It is both infectious and it gives people permission to be enthusiastic about their interests.
I agree and have said similar in multiple occasions! 🍻 Here's a real brain melter for you/everyone... Try and imagine a world where Mythbusters never happened, and as such, Adam was never in our lives, nor would he be now. 🫠🤯 It's nigh impossible! The knock-on effect of Mythbusters would've meant so much in the world would not have happened. So many people wouldn't be in the fields they are in all because that inspiration wouldn't have existed. It's basically a very real and public example of The Butterfly Effect... I'm *very* grateful we DO live in this universe, which _did_ have Mythbusters and now Adam on RUclips.
Adam is an international treasure. He reminds us daily that we shouldn't be ashamed or embarrassed about the things we find interesting or that we want to learn more about. We should pursue those things with enthusiasm just because it's what we want to do.
I wonder if anyone has ever looked through the data to see if there was a marked increase in the number of professionals/college graduates working in fields that Mythbusters would highlight, say STEM related or what have you.
It's really fun to see people like Gavin and Nerdforge guest appear in the shop because you can see the conflict on their faces of wanting to fanboy and fangirl, but also want to come off as being professional and it's really cute 😄
If you go watch gavys video on slowmo2 you will see adam light up in the opening when gavin talks about mythbusters and what it was to him. I love seeing it goes both ways.
Damn, getting permission to slap a legend. Gav can brag about that for the rest of his life. SlowMo Guys and Adam Savage's Tested is always a guarantee for good content.
There is genuinely nothing I love more than two people with expertise in a subject speak at length about their specialist subject[s], so this is delightful. Seeing exactly how much Gav and Adam have learned in their years of working is inspiring, too. They're not just entertainers, but actual experts.
I must admit when Jamie slapped Adam years ago on Mythbusters, it was funny. Now, part of my brain is screaming, “be careful, you’re going to hurt him!”
I enjoy watching the amazing builds Adam has made, and watching his process. But I think this solidifies for me that his interviews are the best. Just seeing someone who has had such a wide range of wild experiences (often involved in the process with some contraption or another) lovingly geek out with an expert in a particular field, and get into both the technical detail of how a thing works, and the personal detail of how an expert found the field and developed their craft, is just so uplifting and encouraging. When it is hard to feel good about the world, seeing Adam's boundless enthusiasm and love for the human experience as a whole, never ceases to comfort me.
Agreed. I'd py good money for something like that. Myths might not be the best thing though (they ended the show because they had basically "done it all".) but just Adam, Gavin, and Dan working together on something and filming for no other eason than they find it interesting, or simply just for "shits & giggles"... That'd be a kickstarter I'd back for sure.
I love watching all of the RUclips nerds meet Adam. Most people don't expect to meet their childhood heroes and even fewer can expect them to actually be same the person you grew up admiring. Thanks for what you do for the nerd community Adam. You're one of the greats.
2 of my favorite creators. Tested and the Slow Mo Guys helped me through the beginnings of the pandemic, my early retirement, and my deep dive into RUclips.
Its always interesting to watch Gav (and Dan) go from fun guys to ultra professional and back again. In those professional moments their whole posture and voice changes and you know that now is not the time to mess around.
Same as with Mythbusters, it's all fun and games until the firearms or high explosives come out, and then it's all business. If you ever watch Cletus McFarland, his persona doing s**t with cars and how he acts as a pilot are two very different things.
Particularly given the flip isn't just "okay we're going to shoot the thing now it's serious time" and then minutes of being more professional before the moment and then winding down to relaxed again -- it's laughing and goofing and being silly until maybe a few seconds prior to the real thing is done fully serious and an immediate return to goofs the second it's clear everyone's okay and nothing has gone wrong. Joking asides to camera one second, the thing they're there to film next second, confirming Adam's alright second 3, back to joking and laughing by the time 5 total seconds have passed.
@@blackbearnh Hell Yeah Brother! I like your comparison! It is the old: 'AH/RT Gav Vs SMG Gav' difference and so very true about Cleetus - always messing around on the ground - always serious in the sky! Although; the new car's setups are getting very serious and it seems Cleet and crew are being more appropriate in that regard now as well! :)
So painfully wholesome. Two of my favourite people on earth. The chemistry is absolutely incredible. You two love each other more than I can ever love you separately. Which is a lot. I am in pain.
There is something just nostalgic about seeing Adam Savage be slapped in the face in slow motion. Reminds me of the slap some sense into you episode they did on MythBusters
Who's that guy with Adam? He looks like Gavin from The Slow Mo Guys, except he isn't wearing a white lab coat. It's great to see this redone with modern tech - thank you!
Hey Adam, my son’s (9 years old) first myth is “can you open your eye while sneezing”. And the slap is probably the favorite one. I’m finishing my work now and rush back home to show him this! You are part of our core memories! Thank you for those wonderful moments between father and son!
Gav liked Red vs Blue, he got to direct it. He liked movies, he ended up working on them. He liked video games, he ended playing them for money and featuring in a bunch. He liked The Inbetweeners, he got to be friends with Jay. He liked Mythbusters, here he is. This man just manifests his dreams
Only someone like Adam could enjoy being slapped twice and make it as fun to watch as this. Being able to laugh at yourself and enjoy being silly is something we all need to try and remember in life! Loved this video!
To Adam and team, Thank you for responding to comments. You already have a positive community and have fostered it with your excitement and enthusiasm. That extra step to respond to your community is so wholesome.
for me everything is cooler when it's slower, you get a different perspective, just like a microscope and you are looking at something super tiny, i think this is my favorite episode of tested so far
Gavin is so cool, and so fun to be around, im such a huge fan, ive seen him in hundreds of hours of content between Slow Mo and Rooster Teeth. I hope you work with him again soon.
One of my favourite memories of my father (a WWII vet who was involved in photography for espionage and other purposes) and I watching shows like "Here Come the '70's, and other National Geographic, and other documentaries, especially those involving slow motion and time lapse photography. Thank you so kindly for your content and trip down memory lane!
9:08 when the Slo Mo Guys collaborated with How Ridiculous, they shot glass balls out of cannons at each other and when they collided there was a super bright flash between the two for like two frames and they were pretty confident it had never been observed before.
@@VistasSrinagarun sounds like it could just as well be that, too. My credentials are: I'm a dude in a comment section who shouted the first plausible thing that came to mind. 🤷
Gav really is a testament to the adage that if you find a career doing something you enjoy, you'll never work a day in your life. Getting paid to experiment and get better at the thing you love doing is triumph of skill mixed with dedication. Well done sir!
Two of my favorite people. What an amazing video. I was hooked on Mythbusters from the moment I saw it, and Adam was such a big reason why. His enthusiasm and pure joy was such a big inspiration to me. Similarly, I was hooked on all Slow Mo Guys content ever since I saw their first video, and Gavin's endless curiosity and experimentation was so much fun. Thank you so much for this terrific collab with two of my heroes.
This is crazy because I know how much Adam means to these creators and watching them get to work with him brings me joy because I would be over the moon as well.
There is something truly magical about having two grown man giggle like little schoolgirls, as they embark on something so incredibly silly yet satisfying, and probably also giggling in star struck but mutual respect and awe and friendship to each other as the realization sinks in what they are about to do to each other, and yes I think Adam is very conscious of the mental agony Gav has to go through to slap him, as proven by the immediate and heartfelt hug right after. And that was just the emotional magic. The high detail perfectly set and lighted and all that end result is absolutely magical to watch, take in, and makes you wonder at details like how momentum and energy is passed on from the hand and seems to magically send water drops flying off at an incredible rate. And you see something else to wonder about or just enjoy every time you watch it again. Absolute magic. Thanks for having so much fun together.
I can't get enough of these and I'm so happy for Gav since he's told us how much an inspiration Mythbusters was... Genuinely, I think Adam is one of the few exceptions to _"Never Meet Your Heroes"._ You definitely want to meet this hero! 🥰 _edit: haha So this _*_one time,_*_ I managed to get the watching process wrong and should've watched Gav's first! Usually Adam's (Tested's) video lays the groundwork, sets the stage, and does the test/execution; Gav's then is the filming and footage review... NOT HERE!_ 🥴 _His vid immediately starts out saying exactly what my comment does... (and also perfectly set this vid up by mentioning the iconic MB's slap)_ 🤦♂️😅
I've said it once I'll say it again, best. Crossovers. Ever. Seeing both these channels work together is so amazing to see on so many levels, the slowmo guys Chanel filled the void that was the scientific curiosity that Mythbusters provided while it was on the air, so now seeing Adam work with the slowmo guys makes me so happy
I really love how Adam made a point of physically reaffirming that there were no hard feelings with Gavin. You can say "we're good" and mean it and it won't have the reassuring effect of a good, hearty bro-hug.
Imagine being Gavin here. ‘You’re one of the first people I saw do slow mo’ … and now he’s slapping Adam in the face, as the slow mo expert! Mad! Couldn’t be happier for Gav and Dan
Adam, thanks for being a great inspiration for so many creators I love and for being so generous with your time towards them. I appreciate your humility as you talk to them with genuine curiosity
I love the passion of Adam's guests, you can tell how much time and love is dedicated to their craft. So much incredible information to share. I would love to see some of the high speed camera footage paired with an ultra-sonic microphone to slow audio with the picture!
Adam, this looks fantastic! It's always a pleasure to look at the work with someone as fun as you. Everyone has a great time on set, and your enthusiasm during stunts is truly commendable. You've been a childhood hero of mine, inspiring my curiosity about how things work-or why they sometimes don't. Your ability to make complex concepts accessible is remarkable, and I appreciate the joy you bring to the creative process.
I've been a fan of Gavin for years now, and it honestly still surprises me to see Gavin "does rocks float on lava" Free being so intelligent and eloquent. Like, I've always known that he's an incredibly smart guy, but after almost two decades of seeing him at Roosterteeth and Achievement Hunter, it still surprises me. Still, getting to watch two of my idols work together has just been a dream come true. P.S, listen to the Regulation Podcast.
23 дня назад+1
Thanks for that footage, it was worth it and made me laugh, knowing Adam really wanted to to this shot. Glad you share the fun with us.
Adam's face during the entire pinball discussion is why I love that man, just the sheer and clear awe of him realizing these things is so honest that it's just so endearing.
Im digging seeing these two together. It seems like they have a very similar energy, and I would love to see them work on a big project together, Like planet Slo Mo or even a Mythbusters reboot
Waking up to find these collabs Slow Mo Guys are doing with more and more of my favorite RUclipsrs is absolutely one of the most significant metrics driving the increase in my time spent on this platform. I'm really looking forward to getting the chance to see, and--if I'm fortunate enough--to meet some of my favorite RUclips makers at Open Sauce in 2025.
My 2 favourite RUclipsrs! I'm so happy for them to work with each other, especially knowing how much Gavin was inspired by Adam's work. I have a symmetrical tattoo on each forearm referencing Adam and Gavin.
It's odd to me how much the other video is like a trial run of the topics to repeat here. And it's lovely having you two finally getting to talk together
A video like this is the perfect timing to say I would *LOVE* to see a professional fight - boxing, MMA, whatever - filmed fully with high speed cameras from multiple angles. Getting a better look at the way the bodies of people in that kind of situation are moving and reacting to each other, and seeing the way their bodies react to the hits, near misses, and blocks in slow motion would be amazing and probably very informative to people who research and train for those kinds of competition.
Man, imagine how amazing it would have been to have gotten slomoguys captures of the classic Mythbusters work. I love this collab and hope it continues.
I love these slow motion videos and collaborations. I've seen other demonstrations like this but I'd like to see one where the recipient doesn't move their head to see how the flesh ripples differently.

where is dan? also i love your stuff Adam you have inspired me to become a maker i do a lot of 3d printing
I love this. You and Gav are not only 2 of my favorite creators, but favorite people. I'm so happy I got to watch this today, thank you!
I haven't laughed that hard in a minute, the raspberry slap is art, You won the internet today, congratz
the sound of the glasses going boing... sealed the deal... LOLS
One of my favourite days ever. Thanks so much for having me. ❤
Good seeing you. It’s been a while
Always appreciate Mark Nutt making an appearance
The slomo laugh at the very end...worth it!
Can't believe you got to slap Adam freaking Savage
I enjoy your work. Just wondering if the slowmo files are video or one file per frame. If per frame and a compressed file, I wonder if you can just look for a change in file size to see when the action starts. Also can the cameras detect changes from frame to frame and flag them somehow?
Jamie watching Gavin throw the slap: That’s my job!
Dan watching Adam receive the slap: That’s my job!
Ha!
Oh it was Jamie, I thought Ive seen this before
Honestly, can't say how happy I am that Gavin is getting to work with Adam as much as he is lately. I know that was a dream of his for a long time.
He never thought he'd be slapping Adam Savage
Frankly, it's been a dream of mine as a viewer of both to see this!
Let's be honest. Roosterteeth was holding him back for at least a half a decade
@@Dielawn69 How do you figure that? He was barely in anything besides F**kface for the last half a decade. He was usually doing slow mo guys or projects like this anyway.

I 100% agree on this! And as fantastic as each channel is, the sum of their parts is greater than the whole...
How about Adam Savage visits Kentucky Ballistics?
This has my vote. I think Adam would have a blast playing Kentucky Roulette @@captainnerd6452
If you go watch gavys video on slowmo2 you will see adam light up in the opening when gavin talks about mythbusters and what it was to him. I love seeing it goes both ways.

SlowMo Guys and Adam Savage's Tested is always a guarantee for good content.
"I slapped Adam Savage AND HE LIKED IT"
Twice 😂
Technically, he’s probably in a more exclusive club then the people who have set foot on the moon.
I think Gavin is more traumatized by slapping Adam than he is proud of it lol.
@@deezkhajiit184 I can just imagine right after he called Geoff and was distraught about slapping Adam, well maybe not distraught but distrait XD haha

Aw. So sweet!
Now that I think about it, I would much rather "have to" watch someone slap Jaimie than Adam.
Totally with you. On a side note, show me one... just one record showing Jamie laughing harder than right after slapping Adam that time LOL.
I feel that, lmao

Not sure why Dan wasn't on this trip, but I'm confident he's really mad he missed slapping Adam across the face!
I really wish Dan was there as well
It was related to his work visa - we missed him greatly!
@@tested Bro gotta start digging again I guess
He's probably working. Dan, does this for fun not as a career
You know if Dan was there he'd be getting slapped
Jamie wouldn't hesitate with the slap
It was therapeutic 😅
I'll countdown, ready? 1, (slap)
Did he giggle like crazy in the episode after he did it?
I have not watched the episode in a log time but I think Jamie might have slapped harder too.
"wait, the camera wasn't on yet"
This video is a warm hug of memories of watching both of you for YEARS.

Whatever you do in this crazy life, do something that brings you as much joy as anything Adam Savage does.
from watching mythbusters as a young child to today being 25 watching you work with slomoguys is just incredible.. what a world we live in
I’m so thrilled to be able to vicariously experience this collaboration. Love this!
Hey Adam, my son’s (9 years old) first myth is “can you open your eye while sneezing”. And the slap is probably the favorite one. I’m finishing my work now and rush back home to show him this! You are part of our core memories! Thank you for those wonderful moments between father and son!
I absolutely love the energy between Adam and Gav. You definitely need to keep doing collabs!
"Hey Gav, you get to slap Adam Savage today."
Gav, "Cool. Wait, no. Wait, yes please. Wait...."
‘Wot’
Two people with this level of understanding and charisma make for excellent content.
Seeing Gavin get to work with Adam makes me unreasonably happy
Gav liked Red vs Blue, he got to direct it. He liked movies, he ended up working on them. He liked video games, he ended playing them for money and featuring in a bunch. He liked The Inbetweeners, he got to be friends with Jay. He liked Mythbusters, here he is. This man just manifests his dreams
Adam was so stoic for that first slap he almost looks like an extremely realistic model or something. Surreal.
I love how his glasses returned to their "trained" position. 14:47
The ability to share a link to this video at timestamp 17:45 is a gift to the world
I love that the slowmoguys have been doing this for OVER a decade and they're still just as if not MORE relevant than they were earlier! I love them!
An absolutely incredible meeting of minds. My childhood and my college years all together
This friendship is so joyful and fun. How can you watch this without smiling? The best!
Only someone like Adam could enjoy being slapped twice and make it as fun to watch as this. Being able to laugh at yourself and enjoy being silly is something we all need to try and remember in life! Loved this video!
These guys are two of my favorite people in entertainment and education. I love seeing them together.
My 2 favourite RUclips channels in one vid...excellent, definitely brought a smile!
Adam remaking Mythbuster's slap episode has always been in my mind everytime I see the SloMoGuys! Dream comes true!
Collabs with slow mo guys and Adam is probably my #1 favorite collab.
Adam is such a treasure. Glad he is in the world. I needed his light-hearted spirit today.
0:16 best part of the whole video.
This brings back the memories. Always loved mythbusters. In fact, I just started rewatching mythbusters just yesterday. Am in season 2 right now.
18:17 now that's a great thumbnail
To Adam and team,
Thank you for responding to comments. You already have a positive community and have fostered it with your excitement and enthusiasm. That extra step to respond to your community is so wholesome.
Oh my gosh, Gavin what a treat to hang out with Adam. I’m afraid I would never wanna leave the cave… lol

Gavin is so cool, and so fun to be around, im such a huge fan, ive seen him in hundreds of hours of content between Slow Mo and Rooster Teeth. I hope you work with him again soon.
I have to say some of my favorite collaborations include Adam Savage and The Slow Mo Guys. Always wonderful to see.
listening to these 2 nerding out about slow-mo is just so much fun. adams reaction to straying his own glasses 'i just did that didnt i?'

Hope to see more of this. Would love to see what Adam would choose to see in slowmo on a regular basis to learn along side both of you
I love how you hard core nerd out about this in the beginning!!
You two are my favorite.. you both have changed the course of humanity.. we thank you for that.

I really love how Adam made a point of physically reaffirming that there were no hard feelings with Gavin. You can say "we're good" and mean it and it won't have the reassuring effect of a good, hearty bro-hug.
The waveform in your lips folowing Slap2...
LOLZ!
This may be my new favourite video. Watching you both fanboying on each other was most joyful to watch. 😊
i don't remember Gav hugging Dan after he slapped him ;)
one thing is to slap your coworker because it's necessary for the making of the video... another thing is to slap your idol.
Imagine being Gavin here. ‘You’re one of the first people I saw do slow mo’ … and now he’s slapping Adam in the face, as the slow mo expert! Mad! Couldn’t be happier for Gav and Dan
How could you slap Adam?
Who do you think you are?
Jamie Hyneman? 😂
😂😂
Adam, thanks for being a great inspiration for so many creators I love and for being so generous with your time towards them. I appreciate your humility as you talk to them with genuine curiosity
Thats the foto that go's on your gravestone!! 18:22
😂
I love the passion of Adam's guests, you can tell how much time and love is dedicated to their craft. So much incredible information to share. I would love to see some of the high speed camera footage paired with an ultra-sonic microphone to slow audio with the picture!
18:15 skip to this for an amazing sight
The first ten seconds was enough for an upvote. These guys are great together.
The amount of geekyness and admiration of each others work in this video is honestly fantastic. Made my day!
It says a lot about these two that the first part of the video talking about the cameras is just as fascinating as the slo-mo video at the end
Adam, this looks fantastic! It's always a pleasure to look at the work with someone as fun as you. Everyone has a great time on set, and your enthusiasm during stunts is truly commendable. You've been a childhood hero of mine, inspiring my curiosity about how things work-or why they sometimes don't. Your ability to make complex concepts accessible is remarkable, and I appreciate the joy you bring to the creative process.
I've been a fan of Gavin for years now, and it honestly still surprises me to see Gavin "does rocks float on lava" Free being so intelligent and eloquent. Like, I've always known that he's an incredibly smart guy, but after almost two decades of seeing him at Roosterteeth and Achievement Hunter, it still surprises me. Still, getting to watch two of my idols work together has just been a dream come true.
P.S, listen to the Regulation Podcast.
Thanks for that footage, it was worth it and made me laugh, knowing Adam really wanted to to this shot. Glad you share the fun with us.
Adam's face during the entire pinball discussion is why I love that man, just the sheer and clear awe of him realizing these things is so honest that it's just so endearing.
Two of my favorite creators! Thank you Adam & Gavin for the great talk and fun
Two of my favorite people on the same video, thank you so much, Adam and Gavin. Please, can we have more, collaborations.
Im digging seeing these two together. It seems like they have a very similar energy, and I would love to see them work on a big project together, Like planet Slo Mo or even a Mythbusters reboot
Waking up to find these collabs Slow Mo Guys are doing with more and more of my favorite RUclipsrs is absolutely one of the most significant metrics driving the increase in my time spent on this platform. I'm really looking forward to getting the chance to see, and--if I'm fortunate enough--to meet some of my favorite RUclips makers at Open Sauce in 2025.
good to see Adam thoroughly enjoying himself. Gavin is such a champion too. love it
My 2 favourite RUclipsrs!
I'm so happy for them to work with each other, especially knowing how much Gavin was inspired by Adam's work.
I have a symmetrical tattoo on each forearm referencing Adam and Gavin.
It's odd to me how much the other video is like a trial run of the topics to repeat here. And it's lovely having you two finally getting to talk together
You guys are both incredible on camera together. You are both amazing to watch and there needs to be more collaborations with you guys.
A video like this is the perfect timing to say I would *LOVE* to see a professional fight - boxing, MMA, whatever - filmed fully with high speed cameras from multiple angles. Getting a better look at the way the bodies of people in that kind of situation are moving and reacting to each other, and seeing the way their bodies react to the hits, near misses, and blocks in slow motion would be amazing and probably very informative to people who research and train for those kinds of competition.
Man, imagine how amazing it would have been to have gotten slomoguys captures of the classic Mythbusters work. I love this collab and hope it continues.
The fact that they both inspired each other at separate points in time is awesome!
This combo is such a treat, Adam is class.
You two look like best friends in all the videos you've done together, it would be awesome to see you guys do more work together!
I love these slow motion videos and collaborations. I've seen other demonstrations like this but I'd like to see one where the recipient doesn't move their head to see how the flesh ripples differently.
