MAE3 Ball Drop at 300fps UCSD 2010

[JEFF9K]

Nice concept. Fun to watch. I'd like to see it repeated in different places, and with sound.

[kitchendon]

Nice particle simulation :)

[FrostWhite]

Fake video is fake lol

[snowmandothitman]

@FrostWhite Hah, I'm actually in this class. It's real. My professor was VERY excited about being able to do it.

[greatestgod]

why dont you like, do this again, but instead of using balls, use a few cats, and instead of dropping them just put them in a box, and instead of filming it in high speed, set the box on fire?

@greatestgod NEDM

[greatestgod]

@soisoisoisoisoisois0 ,LDRG

[StuchFlex]

Apart from the camera shaking, it was very relaxing to watch -_-

thankyou.

[greatestgod]

if this is slow mo then how fucking fast is that green blinking light flashing, jesus

[joshpit2003]

awesome. I liked looking for the mid-air collisions.

[bimstah]

Put some orchestra music! :D

[ljrox123]

The 10 dislikes are from boys who wish their balls would drop.

[TheChrisTutorials]

So thats what ball dropping means..



[woodyfly]

Now do the same thing but with skeeet

[michaelballack]

SKITTLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!! 

[CJBnow]

Why did I just sit here and throw away 2.30 of my life ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[greatestgod]

@CJBnow, because your a homosexual?

[jakthelad12]

So, how do i make this my screensaver?

[JackJamesRowley]

MUST BUY SONY TV

[DutchDave63]

It takes balls to make this.

[Monkeyswexplosives]

@DutchDave63 Nice

[greatestgod]

@DutchDave63 no shit sherlock

[TheDCmonkee]

didnt sony do this in a better version ? 

[johnrskie]

FUCKING SCIENCE MOTHERFUCKERS!

[whtruthnKing]

watch this video to downgrade firmware 4.1 to 4.0 and unlock using ultrasn0w even works on iphone 4/watch?v=SoVxS9pOg24

[Achack]

i know im sorta being a dick but if you like this look up sony bravia (bouncy balls). if you like 400 then I'm guessing your gonna love 250,000 bouncing down a street.

[Monkeyswexplosives]

@Achack Thats where we got the idea

[greatestgod]

@Achack ok i will do that thing that you just said to do, i will do that now and watch that thing you said

[yourdad2510]

this with some mozart music wuld be epic!!! lol

[PorschephileRS]

WHat kind of bouncy balls are those? They look like premium grade bouncy balls. lol.

[KhamChowderDB1]

Look at all those balls :3 no homo :3

[ItsDamianLOL]

blue balls

[kevivjun]

epiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­ccccccccccccccc

[mkrinsky1]

Bravo, Dr. Delson

[ChrisFizik]

memories of sony bravia adverts and david letterman '96

[minieggg1]

I bet this would look incredible in HD3D...

[SuckMyCurry]

I like the bit with the balls.

[greatestgod]

@SuckMyCurry i also liked that bit with the balls O____O

[Jaylawtheman]

Should'a put some classical music in the background.

[chucksta89]

@Jaylawtheman

my thoughts exactly

[TheBriz09]

I'm kind of amazed that some of the balls actually managed to stay on the table. You'd think they would all bounce or roll off.

[greatestgod]

@TheBriz09 i didnt because im not a dumbass

[wykydsyx]

Have you thought about using the glow-in-the-dark bouncy balls and filming it in the dark? That could potentially look awesome.

[Apoc2K]

Must buy LCD TV's. MUST CONSUME.

[cabeachbum24792]

Wow it's like a flaming lips concert.

[xStalkerxx]

cool! now do it in CryEngine 2 :D

[pliskin100]

That must have SUCKED picking all those up.

[werrongboy]

Sony Bravia already did it ;)

[PoopsMcgee86]

The high speed effect could've been better looking outside of a classroom setting. Otherwise it's still really cool.

[abhaykalla]

Reminds me of Kinetic Theory of Gases..

[greatestgod]

@abhaykalla Reminds me of bouncy balls

[vermeergirl]

THEY'RE COMING RIGHT AT US

[abhaykalla]

00:08 a Green ball separates itself from rest of the balls and hits the floor directly, unlike the others hitting the shelf first..

[nosrepa]

Nice balls you've got there. I'd like to see more of them.

[fmg420]

gravity is such a party pooper

[greatestgod]

@fmg420 its big fat party shit!!! ha ha 0_____0

[shoegazer666]

what's the point of this?

[rayphysics]

3 people were cleaning up the balls

[waterfilterlove]

Ha. So cool.

[machogun]

*eh* not a very interesting thing to shoot in high fps

[kittyfamily777]

when did this happen?!

[jamezracer]

@kittyfamily777 earlier today

[vantast1c]

I WAS THERE!!!!

you guys don't have 400 balls anymore btw

[kjmoon21]

it's like lava lamp

[Speeddemon974]

is the camera vibration from bouncy balls hitting it?

[jamezracer]

@Speeddemon974 yeah, a few balls bumped the tripod

[imustkill]

very cool! it reminds me of the bravia commercial

[yoyoyoyohan]

Hey dude, thats pretty awesome. As I was watching this, I was thinking what a horrible time a computer would have at calculating the physics of all objects colliding everywhere.

[Vu1turEMaN]

I'll buy that one from you that took 58 seconds to hit the table. It will be the secret to my anti-gravity boxers!

[xxbondsxx]

Yeah UCSD!!! I'm in 156 this quarter.... which TA posted this!?!

[JBohnslav]

FOR SCIENCE

[Rallynumanair]

Did you count them before and after?

[jamezracer]

@Rallynumanair They were brand new and in bags of 50 when we loaded them in, so i trust we started with 400. I just hope we didn't miss too many off them in the cleanup process.

[Monkeyswexplosives]

@Rallynumanair I found a few during my office hours the other day... I think it just accounts toward our overall success!

[KriszPal]

would be a perfect commercial for wonder bread! lol



[KriszPal]

would be a perfect commercial for wonder bread! lol

[littlepellets]

Wired just tweeted a link to this video btw! Pretty sweet, I remember taking MAE3 during my undergrad days at UCSD....oooh memories

[derekebrown80]

pure chaos

[Jayjay72292]

Jiggling atoms

[HermesTheMessanger]

amazing work. If you could get some glow in the dark ones and do the same expierement, you'd get some trippy distance/ shrinking effects.

[Cuzit69]

It's.... it's beautiful. 

[Dwarfenstien]

How long was the actual clip before you slowed it down?

It's mesmerizing, you can watch this video 400 times and track a different ball each time.

[PiyhGuy]

Black light + Ecstasy = Best night of your fucking life

[Duke2040us]

That was cool and all; what about the poor schmuck who had to pick all those up?

[jamezracer]

@Duke2040us the poor schmucks were me, a few friends, and some bystanders who watched and were willing to help out. 

[fuzzybeard2016]

@jamezracer You should've filmed that too, but in time-lapse!
