The Best Way To Paint Is With Slow-Motion Explosions


Blowing stuff up is a blast in more ways than one, but only occasionally can you venture to call it art. This is an edge case. Ever an explosive duo, the Slow Mo guys have moved from pans of gasoline to bottles of paint and firecrackers and made some pretty colourful explosions.

Filmed in slow motion with the trusty 15,000FPS with a Phantom V1610, each little bottle pops into the loveliest little shrapnel blast of equal parts shattered glass, paint, and fire.
