Slicing an Arrow in Half Mid-Air in Slow Motion - The Slow Mo Guys 
Развлечения
For those confused - the regular camera is filming at 50fps and edited in a 50fps timeline. The phantom is filming at 1000fps placed in the timeline at a playback speed of 25fps so each frame is doubled in the 50fps timeline. This means that all normal footage is much smoother looking and all the phantom footage is still played as slow as possible at 25fps. Why 50 instead of 60? 25 doesn’t fit into 60 very easily. Why 25 instead of 30? It means our phantom footage doesn’t get sped up. -Gav
First one
Interesting, thanks Gavin!
@@notosamay congrats you get literally nothing

But you still fudged the shutter speed on the 50fps footage... tsk tsk tsk!
Dang, you guys made chopping an arrow look easy (and very pretty with the slow motion). Thanks for the shout out!
make a video on trying to curve an arrow.
When I heard him say corridor digital I was shocked

Can we appreciate the fact that Dan is really good at this?
yeah, he didn't hit himself with that katana making this a splatter movie (scnr)
And tbh scary
Total time of an arrow is about 0.02 seconds, thats absolutely incredible
Hear, hear! A true natural :)
Yes we can
If Phineas and ferb had a yt channel
True...
except ferb would hit the arrow every time

this just reminds me, once again, of that one interview where Gav said, that Dans biggest strength is to be really good at really odd things. I guess we found another one of those.
He has a very specific set of skills
Gavin: Get it on your first try, save us some time
Dan: *Gets it on his first try*

Should’ve left it there. During a reshoot they broke the camera monitor

@Dustin Reid My bad
I love how he perfectly cut of the tip of the arrow, making it into a lethal arrow
Coming from what is a relatively low power bow, and the fact the arrow is probably rather light weight, it wouldn’t do much apart from maybe puncture skin slightly, certainty not lethal.
@Captain Insano Shows no mercy good point....

Mythbusters: the chances of a trained samurai slicing a arrow mid air is so small its basically impossible let alone some one whos never trained.
Dan: hold my destroyed lab coat
I mean some simple RUclips searches can really show they were wrong lol
Very late but first of all the samurai wouldnt be a few feet away from the archer unless they were able to get close enough to the archer and second of all, the samurai would have been aimed at rather than a target over his shoulder and with the samurai trying to decrease the distance between himself and the archer, the arrows would be harder to slice and dodge
@@unauthenthic1585 so to be clear you're saying they would be further away which would mean they would have more time to react, and at the target would be of their centre mass which would be closer to their sword.
Saying this untrained person who's never used a samurai sword was able to hit an arrow in mid air but the target was near him there for a master samurai can't makes no sense
@@MCSoutbreak a real archer probably wouldn’t count down either 😂

Nope, he's training to split pants. If he swings katana any harder he would bend over further and split his pants ;o))))
@MIF stop advertising yourself .

MAAAAAARRRKKKKK NUUUUUUTTTT
There is a reason why gav is my favourit achievementhunter
Oh my gosh 🤭 that’s hilarious 😃❗️❣️
Yes! That’s correct! I think the reason why he did that, was because it was a good reference point to the moment where Mark Nutt was shooting arrows back in the London Olympic game of 2012 with Achievement Hunter. I still love the fact how Ray was obliterating Gavin and everyone else at AH at that game. And just in general every game! Hahaha

Oh relax on the misspelling. We all understand.. and probably agree of we're usuals to the channel.
the feathers give the arrow such stability, that even after a hit it still continues to travel fairly well.
Notice how the string moves so fast that the camera picks it up like a slow wave 0:53

0:54 Got to love the mismatch between the string vibration and the framerate.
Gav: Shoots Arrow
Arrow: Hits The Phantom
Phantom: Dies
Dan: Now It’s A Phantom
Actually, it's the exact opposite of the mismatch. The string was vibrating at the the same frequency as the frame rate of the camera. If not matching, it was it must be close to a divisible of the frame rate.

Japan:It is a mark of mastery to a able to cut an arrow in flight
2 jackasses in a field: First try
Let's be honest though he was not shooting the arrow with battlefield draw weight. Come on
@@traininggrounds9450 as they said the weight of the rubber will slow it down and these are not going anywhere near the full spped a real arrow would. HOWEVER with that said its still no easy task as they showed. He has about ~.018 seconds to hit the arrow. I know I wouldnt be able to time it that well after multiple tries let alone the first!
@@zazuch Give me a break.
@@traininggrounds9450 i mostly agreed with you haha and I am using the math THEY presented in this video. Or are you going to say those are fake facts?
To be fair he had advanced warning and was not in a confusing and hectic battle.
By shooting that same arrow in a shorter length, you effectively increased the arrow spine, making it stiffer. If you have any shots from above or behind, you can probably see the tail end whipping further to the right than the normal length arrows. This would have been what made the arrow go further to the left than the point of impact that you got used to. You guys should really consider doing some experiments on the Archer’s Paradox. It would be pretty brilliant with your equipment. Sorry about the small HD, but I think it’s loss was worth this amazing video. Brilliant job!
Plot twist: Dan is secretly a master samurai, but doesn’t want to risk his identity being known
He’s also a master actor, that’s how he was able to convince us all that he wasn’t expecting to hit it
Dan: nails every single shot
Corridor crew: *surprised* *Pikachu* *face*
"point bugger-all" - Dan invents a new number system for small quantities
Dan is weirdly good at physical stuff and Gav seems weirdly good at marksmanship.
I will never get enough of Dan exhibiting his bizarre set of immense skill

@GET insaNeD well done bro
Between this and the champagne saber I think it's safe to say Dan was some sort of swordmaster in a past life.
I agree..!
He was in the army but I very much doubt he was taught sword-fighting.
Well his name does have a cling for it, Swordmaster Dan
Do we really know what the British army is teaching it's soldiers? For all we know they have a time machine somewhere and sends super soldiers back in time regularly and that's how they built their empire in the first place.
Even in the video where he cut all the plastic bottles together, he was awesome!

hsmoscout yeah lol I think a lot of people thought that too but the thumbnail shows the way they r doing it
The Mark Nutt shout and look of determination is beautiful
I love slow-mo because it shows us the world we live in. One of my favorite videos was them filming the speed of light. The numbers were incredible. It would take thousands of years to watch some of that footage. I say this on this video because Dan's reaction is a myriad of things that are as close to instant as possible. His eyes focusing takes so many electrical connections , then that being sent to the brain to process what is happening, then that judging the timing necessary to make contact with the arrow, then that being sent to his arms/hands to swing to hit the arrow. And all of that comes together and he does it! All the while our nervous system is sending electrical signals for our heart to beat, to sweat, to digest food, to make urine, to make goosebumps, to grow hair and nails, to smell, to hear, etc.
After seeing the color in Gav's face go red as he admits to having "Sorta shot the monitor" makes me want you guys to film him blushing in slow mo with the macro lens! ;-) {j/k}

3:50 I love how that Arrow still pierces but with the wrong side of the broken tip.
3:47 I love how the arrow started to fly upwards to clear that target!! xD
Why did the tail side always go up?? I thought it might have to do with the the way the arrow was deforming just before or at the time of the hit, but I can't see that in the slo mo. It seems like by forcing the arrow shaft down, the drag from the feathers is providing a moment at the end of the arrow and then stabilizing the shaft very quickly..
How has no one mentioned the fact that gav shot an arrow straight up into the sky and was not worried where it was going to land.
You must be new to The SlowMo Guys channel. This is not Crazy Russian Hacker where safety is number one priority
Flu-flu arrows, meant for bird-hunting...they're designed to fly for a bit and come straight down. Slow flyers, no danger to anyone.
Look at the top of the arrow. It isn't sharp.
The tip is rubber
Boi!!!
Im with you Louis, and then they look straight up (without eye protection), a rubber tip isnt gonna stop it from jackin' up your eye if you get hit with it. And notice the first shot they do, the arrow sticks in the target (with the rubber tip)...does anyone remember Lawn Darts.....
Oh! And Dan just leaves his sword plopped on the sand...sure it's in a scabbard, but come on! It's not a rake or shovel.
