Great job! It's both too bad and also a good thing that video doesn't really give a proper appreciation of the magnitude of whollop a steam explosion like the big can would have had. Glad it didn't hit the camera which appeared unprotected. It would have been cool to have a second one behind the screen with you to do a two-camera angle scene change. Screen cam for waiting and reactions, bean cam for explosion.

Thanks for the comment. Those are good ideas you have. We watched the video last night with friends and I was thinking similar thoughts to yours. The explosions were really fun to watch live!

whats the song that play when the beans are exploading?

[fosmnet]

It's called "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" by Tomoyasu Hotei from the Kill Bill Vol. 1 soundtrack

i thought that was really funny... but you guys were totally not safe behind that screen! and also, i don't think it's confirmed because it might have hurt you, but that probably wouldn't have killed you...

The screen was made of 3/8 inch plexiglass. A 22 caliber bullet would shoot right through it. A shotgun would NOT. So we had a decent level of protection.

nevermind that last comment

if you put the can of beans upside down instead of rightside up the can will shoot very high (about 50 feet into the air) instead of beans just flying everywhere.
