Anyone interested in buying posters or framed prints of our best slow mo clips? We’ll pick our faves and get it done if there’s enough interest!

“The engineers don’t think the floor can withstand the weight of the bouncy balls”
That go pro: takes it like a champ

[gregorymiltenberger]

You guys should take stills of the slow-mo, just after they landed and sell them as prints. They looked awesome.

At 14:22 into the video, impact of the ton of bouncy balls on the suspended arena floor acted like a timpani mallet striking a timpani head.. The instant vibration of the floor generated a Chladni resonance wave, aligning the mass of balls into a Chladni mode pattern. If you dropped more balls, they would have aligned into a much larger Chladni pattern encompassing all of the arena floor. Your experiment generated music from the arena floor and turned it into the world's largest timpani.

Props to the engineers for identifying a potential problem and finding a solution!

[Sir_Uncle_Ned]

Hats of to the RAC arena engineers for realising that 1.2 tons is a lot of weight by itself, never mind on impact from the arena roof. The fact I didn't hear about this in the news a couple months ago shows that an ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure.

I went to rac arena for the Billie Eillish concert, and my mum said “ isn’t this the place where how ridiculous films!” It made my day 😊❤🎉

[raweckifilms]

there were 3x basketballs that went in.. but there was a rip so u can see it come right out! Great Vids Lads!!

[iticklechickens]

For the basket balls. If you watch the slowmo carefully, 3 of them actually went in. One slid out through a opening in the netting.

Gaunson’s accuracy has been frighteningly amazing throughout the years…cheers!

[joyfulant]

Hitting the green alone from that far away is an achievement in itself

[SpasticSpelunker]

The way the balls travel like a shockwave across the arena is oddly satisfying

15:16 This shot has meme potential.
As soon as it goes black, all it needs is the Dark Souls "You Died".

It's absolutely insane that you'll spend hours or even days trying to get a shot but then just by luck Rexy just falls in the hoop first go.

[DaveMorgansMartian]

These guys are pure magic. Seeing Rexy drop into the hoop was hilarious.

[grarglejobber]

Shout out to editor Jack. The Gonson scream scene was great and Heron's basketball montage was hilarious. I feel like Jack leveled up

[MightyRedHat]

You should drop them on a platform with various angled surfaces so that they bounce all different directions.

[buddycollins]

I personally like all the colors of all those bouncy balls.😊
