Glad I didn’t forget to record it.
As with the last bunch of videos, I am solo because Dan cannot fly to the US at the moment due to
Covid. He is however continuing to make excellent progress on his underground tunnel. Last I heard he was underneath Cornwall.
Almost there! Just another few thousand miles.
Hi I really love your channel it's the best channel I've come across
Say hi to Dan from all of us
Can you fly to Dan???
How's Dan?
"I'm gonna upload all of the footage..."
So that's why google crashed 2 days ago
That's a good one 😂😂😂 Gold right here
Need more likes in this comment
Coincidence?? I think not
worth it
"What's going on??"
"Oh, it's just that British guy uploading 800 terabytes of footage to our servers again"
"hello the internet, im gav..."
[silence]
*me crying*
What hpn to that other guy?
@@pristiq. Dan lives in England and Gav in Texas so they can't meet due to covid
@@pristiq. dead?
As someone who’s been watching these guys for 7+ years, hearing “Hello the internet, I’m Gav” but then not hearing “I’m Dan” just shattered me 🥺🥺😭😭
Google One: "Here's our best plan, 2 TB of cloud storage!"
Gav: "Here's five Phantom raw files."
Google One: 😭
Google One: "But...you're just one person...how...?"
Linus Tech Tips: "but how... you're just one person..."
@ Dinner-fork tongue
i first read your " Google One " reply to Slice of Sparta
as a pun on " good one " then i realized what the emote was - i did not have my reading glasses on.
You would need 10 Gavs, in order to have 20 TB of storage, in order to put a single, 5-second of raw filming, file jajajaja.
Dan's been gone for so long that Gavin's Labcoat now looks as dirty as his.
ruclips.net/video/7vJ4TP13mg8/видео.html
I think Dan's been gone so long you've forgotten how dirty his labcoat is cos Gav's isn't even close
@@stratmod5594 stop
If this goes on much longer they'll have to change to _"The Slow Mo Guy"_
What happened to dan?
The upbeat music, the bright colors and fun dorky idea, and Gav just chatting with the camera, all just made me grin through this video. It was very nice and uplifting
6:17 Is it just me, or is this shot really aesthetically pleasing? The mousetraps aren't even being set off yet, it just looks so mesmerizing to see the colored rows like this.
A rug that shoots powdered paint
6:01 "there'll be a lot of people wanting just to skip to the slow-mo on this one"
no way, buddy, watching you set these up is one of the best parts
I was thinking the same thing
I would've even watched him cleaning the whole thing afterwards
Anxiety inducing but fun to watch nonetheless
I would’ve watched the whole thing but I have school in a couple minutes, couldn’t fit it in
He's right tho
I’m surprised that he hasn’t replaced Dan with a volleyball named Wilson yet
fantasic
It'd have to also be called Dan.
Spherical Dan
I laughed way to hard at this.
👌😂😂
Poor Gav, having to do all this on his own. If you got even one person to help it would have taken 5 hours instead of 10. But I admire the dedication.
"now would be a very inconvenient time for an earthquake"
*implies that there is ever a convenient time for an earthquake*
perhaps if you need to mix a large number of paint cans
@@1555yodude or if your cement is drying too fast
Maybe if you're an army general and want an enemy camp to be destroyed, an earthquake would be convenient. Assuming it happens only under your enemies and not yourself.
Those change machines in arcades
In 1992 an Egyptian student's PhD Thesis was that there was going to be an earthquake of a specific magnitude centered specifically in the city of Fayoum, his PhD Thesis was rejected, then a major earthquake occured in Egypt, centered in the city of Fayoum, immediately getting him his PhD, and I think that's the only time ever a person thought an earthquake would really be convenient at the moment.
"I'm Gav. Thank you for joining me, in this big empty void."
This sentence holds deeper meaning for all of us.
all of us being, other 12 year olds
@@MM-vs2et or just everyone in 2020
Gavin: *Snaps his fingers nine times*
Dan: *watching and smiling* Good..... Good.....
Dan "yay, not me!"
He must be liking snapping his fingers otherwise he would wear gloves.
That is what a 99% success rate looks like. For 99% of the mousetraps, he managed not to get snapped. The remaining 1%, M*****F*****!!1!
WAIT! How did you get this shot?! 7:34 That's clearly a close-up tracking shot, but I didn't see you move in to get it on any of the other angles?!
Amazing video as always! I admire your dedication!
He may have set up a close up camera focus on it and edited it to move.
I was wondering the same thing!
It's just highly detailed camera and he zoomed in..ig
@@Marks_Vlogs Can't be. The actual perspective is changing
@@Bobthehuntedbobcat Yeah, the perspective is definitely changing. It's a moving camera. He did another take for the close up and moving shots. At 6:43 you can see that the initial dropped mouse traps are landing in a different configuration from the wide shots. So at least two takes confirmed.
How Gav got that shot at 7:26 - 7:44 without any of the other cameras filming a drone or camera in the frame is beyond me, such a cool shot!
Right!? Crazy
I believe it's done by setting up a camera on rails behind the mouse trap, and then zoom in. lock the focus and pull the camera backwards.
@@0042090 Yeah it took me a while to figure it out but I think you're right! Telephoto dolly pull from a distance
@@tylre No, he did two takes. One with the wide cameras, and one with a camera on a dolly being moved over the mousetraps. If you look at the close up shot at 6:43, you'll see that the mouse traps are falling in a completely different configuration than the first shot. So he did at least two takes.
The newest video on the second Channel explains it
Hey Gav, Gav... don't freak out... The cameras were off Gav.. THE CAMERAS WERE OFF
Dear god, imagine!!
Kind of an accurate description of 2020 👆😂
OMG the sponsorship money tho
That would be horrid but the camera is always on they just press a button that makes it save what happened
The worst bit about Covid is knowing that if it didn't exist, Dan would be there to jump into the mouse traps
Dan got covid?
@@theguy4985 no mate I just mean because of travel restrictions lol
I actually would love to watch you clean all that up. the mousetraps going off as you try to sweep is very funny
Thank you Gav for putting countless painstaking hours into making this masterpiece for us all by yourself ❤️
Agree, brilliant, just BRILLIANT!
"it's not even close to 1000"
actually, you set up 30 rows with 29 mousetraps each so you set up 870 traps! that's pretty close to 1000. I admire your perseverance Gav!
r/theydidthemath
Not to sound like a smart-Alik, but it was 15 rows of 31 and 14 rows of 29 which is 871, but I like your number better. And I'm quite surprised someone else actually bothered so props to you!
Nvm he added more *facepalm*
OK, at the start of slow mo it was approximately 32 rows of 30, which is 960 and that is my final answer. Though the rows aren't perfectly lined up so there is room for error...
@@PinkKing907 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The effort tho
It was oddly satisfying seeing Gavin run in the background at the start of the slowmo shots. I think it helped to put things into perspective, how fast anything in the shot was happening.
Exactly! I was thinking the same thing. So many things seem to happen in the blink of an eye, but some things happen so much faster than others
Yes a familiar reference motion in frame would help all these slomo shots on YT
@@PhaedruS007 definitely
the music was a great addition to the slow mo sequence
“This would be a very inconvenient moment for an earthquake... but it is 2020”
😂😂😂
it was at that moment that dan completed his tunnel and popped up right in the middle of all the mousetraps
I like how he still says “we” even when Dan isn’t there
He is always watching always there
Nah look at the beard. He asorbed Dan.
I know, where's he been!? Someone else said it's something to do with flights and Covid... Woo. So hopefully he'll be back one day :D
He's including us
He's there, in spirit
It feels wrong to hear "I'm Gav" not immediately followed by "and I'm Dan."
Where is Dan?
@@sylvrwolflol thank you!
@@sylvrwolflol thanks pointless, tyrannical, lockdown!
@@billycole852 and earth is flat, right? :)
Its more like Slow Mo Guy(s) now
I like the change in music, I know Gavin mentioned doing it recently. It changed the energy of the slow mo in a good way
Here,s an idea for a slow motion video: when you throw (fast enough) a snowball at an angle on a target , the impact is always a perfect circle. The ball does not explode because it hits the wall , but because of the water getting hot and steaming. Recording that would be awesome, I haven't found a video that shows this reaction in action, anyways your style you fit the glove! Thanks for all the eye candy you roll , Antoine
"Most mousetraps purchased with absolutely no intention of trapping a mouse..." Sounds solid, I`ll call the guiness guys!
Hollywood prop company might beat them out?
Yeah, Guinness don't bother to verify anything any more for their puff piece books, so they're the perfect choice.
By jesus himself
Lowest micetraps set : mice caught ratio?
Least successful trapper?
Not hearing "and Dan" after Gav says "I'm Gav" just feels wrong.
At least he will be coming back after Covid :)
What happened to his partner?
I've just started saying it myself lol
@@jeimairuzu7056 Gavin lives in texas while Dan lives in the UK and because of covid they cannot meet up to film
Be glad when hes back. Good pair to watch.
Hilarious monologue seeing this up, with the occasional SNAP treat!
What an ambition! To build something for 10 hours, and to last , less than 10 seconds! Well done mate !!!!👏👏👏👏👏
I like to imagine Gav just isolating inside a warehouse making content alone.
Wearing clown shoes and dressing like Jesus.
Don't forget the cats, gotta have his cats there
2020 - Jesus
2021 - Chewbacca
omg!!! i LOVE this shoes!!
@@Lilith-Rose For this particular video, probably best to keep the cats away haha.
If Dan was there, you'd have him roll on top of them.
Facts
Facts X2
lol
Poor taste to do a gag like that twice.
These two guys are much more clever than that.
That's why he quit
The world is a better place for having guys who do these crazy things.
I'm genuinely impressed that seemingly no human error was made during the setup of all of this, not counting the fingers being snapped. I would probably have set it off before recording.
The only exasperating thing was his sprinkling half a row with color, the walking around with the same color and sprinkling the other half.
Geez, whenever I sprinkle color on rows of mousetraps, I keep all the bags on one side and do one color after another on all the entire halves, then take them all around and do the other side. Only one trip. Time is money, boys, time is money.
@@-danR
You say that like it's normal for anybody to put dry paint dust on a bunch of mouse traps.
@@-danR I do that everytime
I scrolled down to glance at comments while Gavin was talking, and as i read this i hear "*snap* 'ARGHHH'" 10/10

He should have triggered them by tossing a picture of Dan.

Just by tossing dan

So much effort and a fair amount of pain put in for this video, I'm glad it all worked out, it looked great. Thanks Gav.
Dude idk if I’m weird AF of crying with this video .. but i loved how traps became in so much colors, thanks for this beautiful video (:

And the award for “Most stress-inducing breaks in a time-lapse” goes to...
Seriously, I was so expecting something to go catastrophically wrong every time the time lapse paused.
Every time he started talking I was like "oh thank goodness, he just has something to say"
This made me smile. Just so gorgeous seeing all those colors mix mid-air
This video changed my life. The beauty of it was incredible. and then the shock factor at the end when you realize how fast all of them went off wow just wow.
That pay off was incredible. And hearing Gav say "I appreciate you"
Why is he so funny, man's by himself just making idle chatter and i'm chuckling repeatedly
What happened to Dan?
He’s really not
@@wockinatux he may not be making jokes, but he's very charming

We are all thankful and really appreciate all the effort you put into making your videos. The preparation takes so much time, but the end result is over so quickly.
This was so chaotically BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for this Gav! Thank you!

Yes, wicked shoes.

Can we appreciate his beard

Thank you for putting as much joy out into the world as you and Dan do. I'm always left with a huge smile after watching your videos, and it's a much-needed respite from the world today. Cheers!
Gavin just yelling “YES!” with his hands in the air fills me with serotonin.
One of the few slow-mos where the realtime looks equally as pretty.
Also, great music choice for this one. If it was the classic slow-mo theme, I don't think it would've emphasized the colours as well as it did.
Anyone know the track?
@@thomascherian7719 New Morning - TrackTribe off their new album Beyond the Beach! It's some really good new-wave!
Way more colorful than the old Nuclear Chain Reaction demo with mouse traps and ping pong balls. Which I first saw back in the 50s. Thank you for this colorful interlude, well worth your time. And yes, I did watch you setting and placing them, no skipping ahead for me. Cheers!
The 1K that disliked don’t understand the pain and time that went into this. Your dedication is appreciated Gav
So I paused it on one of the shots and counted 904 before he moved the rows closer. I later paused again to count the two rows he added for a total of 963.
Thank you for doing the thing, I almost wasted a lot of time haha
Not all heroes wear capes
@@ChinaAlphaBravo yeah, some wear completely tattered and torn lab coats
I can verify because I didn't see this soon enough...

YOU who actually counted : 😎

Sooo true, does anyone know what he is doing?
@@francoislebois Stuck over in the UK because COVID
@@philb5593 okay, I wish them the best of luck
:C
Is he still part of slow mo guys?
between the sound design & the background music, I was in awe of the visuals.
10 hours of setup: 5 minutes of footage.
6 seconds of chaos: 2 minutes of footage.
So worth watching all of it.
3:11 After waiting another 30 seconds to get a better view of the wide, the mousetrap setup is indeed 30 by 30. Exactly 900! Good call!
at 4:27 I count 29 by 30 for 870
actually 960 when he added 2 more rows later
I got 928 when he added the last 2 rows with the setup being 29 by 32
actually no, from the angle at 4:37 (the time I meant to type in) the front most block is 29x7 the second is 30x7 and the 3rd and forth blocks are 31x11 and 31x5.
Making the total 909
does it matter though?
"Were really just hoping for"
*SNAP*
"...GRUHHHHH!!"
Mmmm satisfying reading this as soon as it happens XD
I'm not, it must be agony. 😱
i watched that like 6 times and laughed at the true human reactions we get in this show. too bad he wasn't filming himself just in case to catch that reaction. what is the speed between realization and sensation of pain!

The randomization visualized and slowed was just perfect. 😍 👌🏽
Beautiful in its simplicity. Thanks for this, it’s really amazing. 10 hrs. Worth it.
Dan’s thanking his lucky stars that he wasn’t there for this one, being pressured by Gav to trigger the traps with his body.
Should've called Steve-O
I want behind the scenes on how you did the panning shot.
Why is this comment so far down? Came here for it! Must have had a second field o' traps.
@@Dhoing Description says "Shot with the Bolt Cinebot
" which seems to be a motion controlled rig, but since its not shown in the wide shots it's either two takes or its using a tele lens from afar.
@@zwete It looks like the camera is super close to the traps. Plus you can't see a shadow or anything there at the end when it plays in real time. My take: second take!
@@zwete it was probably the one from afar!
Given the focus pull at the same time... I guess its a telephoto, either automated optics and video edit (scene crop) OR a tracked camera that was way off scene.
8:48 I just love this, what a madman.
Spending 10+ hours setting up mouse traps that triggers and are gone in like 5 seconds, such happiness.
Absolutely loving the music!!
Now this channel is just “The Slow Mo Guy”
Sadly, but lets hope that not for long, gav, because of covid, cant fly to where gav lives
@@Mablung- Gav has to fly to Gav?
@@Mablung- why doesn’t Gav go to Gav then?
Jajaj, sry Dan has to go were Gav
Gav's beard is so thick, I didn't even realize his jaw was moving when he was talking.
I thought he had a vest on under the t-shirt but no 😲 I'm sure Gavin was never quite this hairy before.
10 hours to setup-$0. 1000 mousetraps-$0 9 mousetrapped fingers-$0. Incredible slo-mo footage. Priceless.
This is one the most beautiful things I've ever seen 🥲 Thanks Gav. Love you guys!
i really like the scrunchie gav is rocking when he's setting up the traps, it's almost hypnotic the way the little pineapple bounces around as he talks and gestures
Honestly, the amount of dedication Gav has to something as ridiculous as setting this up really shows how much he cares about what he does and creating amazing content for us. Stunning effort lad!
Disagree. I'm disappointed personally comparing their old vids.
@@dakotastaton9874 it’s almost as of we’re in a pandemic and there’s things that aren’t doable rn

are you ready???
slow mo guys and spiders. the way the hunt prey and sling webs etc. i would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE to see it!!!!
Loved watching the set up!! Thanks for including it!
Gav when he dropped the mouse traps:
"I am speed"
Hey gav. It’s the internet. I hope you’re having a good day
Hahahah good one! Hope you're having a good day too.
No this is Patrick!
Is he allowed to say that... legally?
@@wytsewolf Hey
Wytse Wolf, I hope you are having a good day
No it isn't.. It's Michael Trapman.. Or as I'm calling you, MouseTrapMan
My, I just adore a chain reaction.
Hats of for your patience!!!
Neat trick: To avoid the trap going off and maybe snapping your fingers, use a metal fork to set it. Pull the springed part back, put tines of fork over it and hold firmly while you set the arm. Once arm is set, slowly ease up on fork. If the arm slips off the catch, the fork is still holding the springed part back so it doesn't snap. Easy, simple solution to keep your fingers safe.
Altho it is a bit late, still useful info for if they do another video involving mouse traps.
All hail the rat queen! 👸 🐀
That dedication to just laying mouse traps for 7 hours would drive me mad if they went off prematurely!!!
Going off prematurely sure drives me mad
I didn’t sleep great that night.
My girlfriend really hates that too
@@theslowmoguys Probably shouldn't have snorted that paint powder mate.

Thank you Slow Mo Guys! 😀❤ Just spent the last hour watching your awesome videos on my phone with my very frail elderly father who is in a nursing home with severe dementia. Sometimes it's really difficult to find a way to engage with him due to his worsening condition. He really perked up and switched on to your videos! .. Grenades, bullets, ballistics, shattering pyrex jugs, explosions and generally blowing s..t up in slow mo. It all worked a treat and brought some fun into what is often a really sad situation for us.
Thank you for putting in all of the time on this video. I think that extra appreciation made my smile through all of the action that much bigger.
Your video production & editing skills are amazing, and I’m going to start watching your other channel just to have a peek behind the curtain.

“There’s more.”

This made my day. The satisfaction of me seeing Gav put paint on all those mousetraps was just absolutely resounding.
this is art.. catastrophic and beautiful , mesmerizing
3:06: "Let's call it a 1000, it probably isn't a 1000."

Placing the colors was extremely satisfying
I can hear Dan saying "it right twatted you there" whenever a trap went off on Gavs hand 😂
