Sciencenter Showtime! Presentation Mousetrap Cascade (2 angles of time-lapse setup)

Dr. Luke Donev set off 500 mousetraps armed with over 1,000 ping pong balls at the Sciencenter in Ithaca, NY. Museum visitors watched in awe as a single ball triggered the cascade, and then discovered the physics behind it.

We filmed the setup with two different cameras, each one taking a picture every 10 seconds. Here you can see both camera's images of the many hour process (video is silent). Visit http://www.sciencenter.org/programs/mousetrap.asp for more information.
