  • Hello, the Internet!

  • I'm Gav.

  • I'm Dan.

  • We're The Slow Mo Guys.

  • A while ago,

  • Dan, you probably remember this,

  • We did a video with an airbag.

  • One airbag.

  • Yeah, it got 10 million views.

  • And we thought, "You know, that was fun."

  • Let's... upscale it a little bit.

  • Now, you may think,

  • 2 airbags, right?

  • Wrong.

  • We've rinsed the scrapyard for 25 airbags.

  • Yeah, we've come to this huge quarry because

  • we need a lot more space this time, and, uh,

  • What we're going to do is put loads of

  • powder paint on each airbag and have a

  • huge explosion where it sort of goes from one color to the next.

  • Let's go get this wired up,

  • and uh, make the biggest mess we've ever made.

  • Huge mess.

  • Alright. Let's go.

  • *Heavy Breathing*

  • I think I can only carry four. This will take several trips.

  • One for that one.

  • Ok. So, we're gonna wire these up..

  • in this sort of X, shape so one's on each edge of the-

  • Are they all sort of different internally with the wiring?

  • Well, I think they've all got the same sort of connector,

  • you just need to put the wires on each one.

  • What are the chances of any of these going off in your hand?

  • Through your head?

  • There's no power source connected at the

  • other end, so they theoretically are perfectly safe.

  • Ok. I'm excited about the Merc.

  • I think it's going to be a good one.

  • You think so?

  • Those are some high-end airbags right there.

  • Didn't they invent airbags?

  • Did they?

  • Yeah. They've invented a lot of stuff.

  • It was actually invented by Dave "Airbag" in the 60s

  • so, that's how it got the name.

  • Yeah.

  • [Electronic Music]

  • How exactly are you doing this?

  • So, all you have to do is wrap around twice,

  • and then sort of squeeze it in,

  • into the middle like this,

  • so it's quite tight on the actual airbag

  • I've just now suddenly realized- (Oh, that's a lot.)

  • the extent of the mess we're about to make.

  • Yeah, we can't...

  • Like that alone,

  • would be too much mess to clean up,

  • and we got 23 more to fill.

  • I'm a bit nervous.

  • Oh yeah, me too.

  • y'know, I'm nervous that they won't all go off.

  • Like what if they're not connected properly or how have we

  • messed this up. Here, this is a bit bigger.

  • [Electronic music resumes]

  • This is gonna make a big mess.

  • [music...]

  • [ed. note: They should be wearing masks]

  • [That powder paint is not good for lungs]

  • [plus, they will be colorfully sneezing for weeks now]

  • So looks like we're all primed and ready to go.

  • Yes, we are, yeah.

  • Trying to decide where we're going to

  • stand. Originally we wanted to be stood,

  • you know, sort of in the middle looking really...badass.

  • Not looking at explosions... having it in the background...

  • But then I came up with the point that,

  • essentially, we put a load of airbags next to each other

  • and at any point one could go off and then hit

  • another one sort of forwards into the back of my skull.

  • so we'll do-- we'll do it twice.

  • Yeah.

  • and we'll determine if it's safe to stand in there based on our first take

  • and if not, we'll just, y'know, we'll just cower.

  • behind the camera.

  • Okay go for it

  • you're ready?

  • yeah

  • ok.

  • So, I'm taking the nail out.

  • Ready?!!

  • yeah

  • 3

  • 2

  • 1

  • GO! (POP POP, crash)

  • [Instant replay!]

  • GO!

  • whoa.

  • We missed red and purple?

  • looks like it.

  • Yeah, definitely hit all the nails.

  • whoa, we made a me---

  • look at it!

  • what happened?!

  • wow!

  • that looks awesome doesn't it?!

  • this looks so cool.

  • there's actually a really lovely, like, turquoise gradient

  • It is! It makes it so lovely!

  • Purple didn't go off

  • no.

  • yellow didn't go off.

  • well no, one of the

  • yellow went off. Look-

  • One yellow went off. Uh,

  • All the greens, all the blues

  • and none of the other ones went off, so...

  • This looks awesome, though

  • (coughing)

  • Ok let's review the "SlowM"

  • Oh wow that was a great delay between them, actually

  • One of the yellows went off and only one

  • You know? One yellow looks like four yellows

  • I mean that is slightly thicker but that still looks awesome.

  • Two pounds of paint, that's why..

  • Is that an airbag up there??

  • Yeah! The yellow airbag took off Oh!

  • So that was a - excellent, we did a really good job there.

  • Uhhh, sort of fifty percent

  • failure there. Weeeell..

  • Less than half of them went off Yeeeaaahh...

  • We got two colors to go off well,

  • the rest of them didn't even go off at all

  • I will say, we made art that bloody Neil

  • Buchanan would be proud of. He would be

  • proud of that, bless his soul. Well he's not dead.

  • There's always rumors that he's dead, isn't it?

  • (Laughter) He's not dead! There's always rumors!

  • Alright so we're gonna change it up to hopefully

  • increase our success rate, um

  • The one yellow that went off actually kicked up

  • a hell of a lot of paint!

  • Yeah! So, um, let's just use two air bags per

  • color. It will still be a hell of a lot

  • Yeah. And also reduce our points of

  • failure by 50%.

  • Okay.

  • Dan, I'm doing a hero pose.

  • Nice lunge!

  • 3!

  • 2!

  • 1!

  • [Bang!] Yea-heah!

  • Woo!!

  • - That was awesome! - Coolest rainbow I've ever seen in my life

  • That was really successful. That was really cool. That was phenomenal.

  • The timing was great too, like *dudududu*

  • That was perfect, so we're gonna make one more

  • change in the lighting, so right now,

  • we're backlit like that shot was so,

  • there's not too much detail on our faces

  • and it's quite um-

  • Well we looked bad-ass as silhouettes though

  • Yeah we look like cool silhouettes so

  • this time I'm going to change it around

  • Move around

  • Change the set so we're front-lighting the airbags

  • Yeah and so the main puff of colour

  • should be a little bit more bright and

  • we're also gonna shove an angle in from

  • the side coming towards the camera which

  • should look a mental war movie

  • - Yeah, it'd be really cool - Be really colourful

  • - This is the last one - It's the last one, right

  • - We're gonna jump and time it correctly - I'm going to try to really cool jump midair

  • Cool

  • Wait, jump midair? All jumps are midair

  • I'm gonna try to a really cool jump (Yeah)

  • mid-explosion (Sweet) so I'm just lingering, you know?

  • I'm gonna sort of do this and then look cool

  • Yep okay

  • I'm ready, I'm ready

  • - You ready for THIS? - Yeah

  • Right

  • 3, 2, 1, go! [explosion]

  • - Whoa! - Whoa!

  • That was slightly disconcerting [laughter]

  • Flip!

  • All I heard was this: bmfmfmbmf

  • And then I heard like wood falling to the floor I was just like

  • What is going on?

  • How's my back? Is it good?

  • Aw no you're good, yeah

  • That wasn't bad

  • [speed ramp down sound]

  • [whale noises]

  • I think we ti- I think we timed it right

  • I don't think my face looks very cool when I'm jumping I've discovered [laughter]

  • - You're really concerned - I'm like [squeak]

  • Aw, man. When we practised it,

  • it seemed to be alright but it's so quick

  • that you've not even like taken off there

  • - That's ridiculous - I'm a lot slower than I thought

  • That is wicked there, look at that shot

  • It gives you- that's so cool

  • That's like our- that's like a new background for our-

  • - That's a desktop background right there - That's cool. I'm unsure of my face there

  • I was sort of just like concentrating and [by the time it was like] uhhh?

  • You know I've noticed the funniest thing about slow motion

  • is that if you ever do something and to try to look in the lens,

  • you never nail the lens first

  • - so you're always looking off and then you're like... - Yeah, yeah [laughs]

  • But it lasts forever in slowmo

  • - And you're looking in the wrong place - Yeah "Wh- where's he looking?"

  • That's how you make a rainbow

  • That's- that looks massive

  • - You explode a rainbow - These explosions can be huge

  • [imitating explosion sounds]

  • Oh-hhh that is-

  • That is one of my favourite things that we've ever filmed

  • That is so cool

  • This angle, I didn't think it would look-

  • - It would look cool but- - The fact that you could get such a

  • cool-looking thing for such a tiny

  • period of time (Yeah) like that was cool for

  • probably 0.01 seconds [chuckle]

  • [imitating explosions]

  • [both] That's wicked

  • Hey

  • Ohh that was terrible, come on

  • Do you wanna do it better?

  • You have to look at the elbow, look at my elbow (Yeah)

  • Alright ready? (Yeah) Alright, look at my elbow (Yeah)

  • [Gavin wheezes]

  • Well Dan, I think visually that was one of the most delicious things we've ever filmed

  • That shot of all the colours coming towards the camera

  • What? Like the bombing run? (Yeah) The Mr. Men bombing run?

  • Yeah, if the Muppets decided to do a bombing run in the desert

  • - That was so cool - It was amazing

  • - Uh Phantom took it in the nose - Oh, standard Slow Mo Guys.

  • Placed it downwind, (AH!) there's a bit of paint on the lens there

  • but nothing a good cloth won't fix

  • - First of all, I didn't get hurt - You didn't get hurt

  • which is good, and I don't have to clean up 'cause we're in a quarry

  • It's true, the rain will just wash this away

  • [whispers] Yesss

  • Um, we obviously got to deal with these airbags, there's a lot of those

  • I kinda want to put a canvas underneath it and do it again and then just like-

  • So we can keep it?

  • Moisten it, to make it so it's actually paint

  • rather than powder paint

  • In a way, it'd be cool to just walk into a room with like

  • four different air bags of different colours glued to the walls and they're just set-

  • It'd be like Mr. Bean painting a room

  • Well hopefully you thought that video was lovely

  • Be sure to follow us on Twitter, buy some merch
