|  Discovery Channel: Time Warp, premiers tonight!
ive been waiting for this show. its stuff recorded with mega high speed cameras and show super slow mo. ive always liked that stuff. so cool cause the human eye can never see it. not sure if the shows gonna be any good or not but im gonna check it out. looks like two 30 minute shows tonight Oct 15, 8:00 pm Time Warp Stone Breaking TV-PG Time Warp cameras capture the force of a Kun Tao master breaking stone slabs. Mad scientists take the backyard trick of creating Diet Coke and Mentos geysers to astounding new heights. A frisbee dog shows off her acrobatic skills in super slow motion. Oct 15, 8:30 pm Time Warp Will it Blend? TV-PG The Time Warp team's cameras capture the magic of juggling -- from balls to running chainsaws! The team then puts all sorts of things you really shouldn't in a blender...ike butane lighters. And they break a beer bottle with only their hands. heres a cool comercial shot with waterballoons filled with soda. mega slow mo. some cool shots if ya watch the whole thing Video http://www.dumpalink.com/videos/Schw...ence-9k5c.html |

those are sweet travis, i was hoping folks would post up some others. for some reason the water ballons are always my favorite. just finished watching. it was ok. my favorite was the dudes breaking the concrete blocks and the one with the blender, the rest were sorta boring. altough i want to trying breaking a beer bottle like they did though |

yeah the balloons are always the coolest. i didn't get to watch the first one. I used to use the beer trick all the time. just tap your beer on top of theirs. instant fountain.

I saw a couple of previews for it, and initially thought it was a good idea.............then thought, can't I basically hit the slo-mo button on my remote and get the jist? | |

ROBB: your dvr is not even close, the camera normal footage is shot with is 30 fps, hit slow mo and youll end up with a stop animation looking footage with big movements in between frames, at 5000 fps you can slow the footage down ALOT more and see every movement, and see MEGA slow mo ie like the poped water balloon, water holding the balloons shape and hovering mid air for lots of time. apples and oranges my freind. trikster i was let down as well. not that impressed. they definatly droped the ball on the shows potential. |

The lighters exploding in the blender was pretty sweet.. I've seen it on the Science channel before. Discovery could provide more money to do cooler stuff though.

 Perfectly clear yes, but still just stuff happening slow. Like I said, I saw a couple of previews, and while interesting, not entertaining to me.............and my wife will testify, I watch some boring a$$ crap on TV. | |
