[Titanic Break-Up Failures #2] Slow-Mo Intact Sinking

More details at: http://www.RapidNadion.com (Description Below)


Our road to creating the Model Titanic Splits video series has been a long and challenging one.

On the way, we made many sinking attempts that ended in failure (no hull break-up). Some of these videos, though, were still interesting to watch. This is one.

This video shows Titanic sinking some distance off-shore, in bright mid-day conditions. Separation charge smoke can be seen, but the ship sinks intact.

Filmed at 240 fps with a Casio Exilim FC-150. No audio.

how easy do you reckon it would be to make a model that sinks in 2 hours and 40 minutes like the real ship, i have attempted it with my arfix 1/700 titanic and looking at "titanic anatomy of a disaster " to see how big the damage was and trying to get the berg damage on the model similar with bulkheads ancoins to float it but after it covers the forward deck it just plunges under water

@steamfan1998 Some folks did it with a properly-scaled model a number of years back. It was featured on one of the many documentaries released after the '97 film.

Do you think you can do a vid of the model sinking at night? I think it would look cool to replicate the original sinking :D

[Rapidnadion]

@XiLin108 We've done a few of those (years ago), but with a very old, cheap camera - it's hard to shoot at night with our equipment. Someday we'll do it right.

@13295n Thank you!

I dont know if I wrong...But the propellers are barely coming out of the water. I think water is getting into the expansion joint between funnels 3 and 4 causeing the bow to sink from the middle forward. And it is also causeing the stern to start sinking sooner then it is supposed to. Just to give you some advice.

You did a great job, shame that the model seems not to cooperate

[thunderstudent]

Well if its and consolation to you, your Titanic did better then the real one in terms of staying together while sinking.

guys did u see that it stoud for a minute(exaturating)

[hitlersucks101]

like the brittanic

Actually you might have gotten the port list bang on.

This would have been the accepted sinking strategy up until 1985! :)
