Playing/experimenting with the glowing goo

We did record all of our test by talking about them, yet the camera we had to use is so bad the built in microphone doesn't even work properly. It looks like i am going to have to type what we intended to do. You may also want to turn off the sound down because even though some of these videos don't have sound they do still have a loud crackling noise which can get very annoying.


In this first video we are mixing water based lubrication with you guessed it, water. We did this to create a more thicker substance to later put the glow stick fluid into.


This video has sound so i don't need to explain it.



Same again, it has sound, although towards the end it does start to crackle, so watch your speakers.



This video very crudely shows the Florissant liquid being dropped into the thicker water based lube substance. Interestingly enough it behaves rather like a lava lamp. 



Sound once again. I am actually going to try and slow some of the more clear tests down just to get a feel for what it may look like at 2000 fps.


This one has sound.



I feel this would look 100 times better with a decent camera, but we had to make do, with a high speed camera we want to capture the splatters and slow them down considerably so that we can give it a very magical feeling.


Here i was blowing on the surface of the water to try and create a cool effect.

After these shots one of us dropped the lube liquid on the floor and it went everywhere, after all lubrication is slippery. So after this we banded together what glow sticks we had left and decided to use two different colours. 




I just love ho much light they give off, it's amazing.


This doesn't look like much but i keep thinking in purposes of slow motion, if we do get access to the high speed camera i could imagine this looking incredible, two colours melding together and UNITing 

After conducting these tests we have a better understand of how to conduct ourselves for the future, and also we now understand what works and what does work, also... we need a better camera with a working microphone.
