Tonight, the Discovery Channel debuts its new show Time Warp, which uses high-speed photo technology — up to 10,000 frames per second — to show what it really looks like when a man, say, juggles chainsaws, takes a punch to the face (you’ll want to watch that below), or uses a Blendtec blender on gumballs and butane lighters.
Awesome, right? I know Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET is a busy time for your DVR you, so I’ve taken the liberty of linking to Discovery’s Time Warp schedule: Tonight’s back-to-back episodes repeat at midnight.So, is this the only acceptable use of slo-mo camerawork (outside of sports), or just one of the best? If you answer the latter, name your favorite slo-mo scenes… so we can judge you.

Finally — science has achieved awesomeness.
Best use of slo-mo…
The Six Millon Dollar Man
The Bionic Woman
and more recently – Smallville
that is awesome. period.
The slo-mo explosions on Mythbusters are pretty cool. Just sayin’.
My votes for slow motion:
- Demolition of a building (one of those explosion/collapse things)
- Uwain Bolt runs the 100M dash.
- Michael Phelps swims
- Sleight of Hand Magic Tricks (uh, I mean illusions….tricks are what whores do for coke and money)
- Waves/Surfing (it’d be cool to see it in super slow motion)
I don’t care, I’ll be the first to say Baywatch.
THAT IS SO COOL!!!! I want to watch this show!!
I was wondering when someone was going to mention Baywatch, lol!!
