For this project, we borrowed a Phantom Miro C110 from the ITLL and used it to video multiple objects falling into a bowl of water. The goal was to capture the splash and movement of the water in slow motion while preserving image quality as best as possible. This video was captured by dropping a golf ball from about 1 foot into a bowl of water. This was done with Alex Kelling, David Milner, and Nathan Gallagher

I like the angle of this video because it lets us see all the surface disturbances of the water and the different phases of the jets and the water settling. I also like the color grading of the video. At 15 seconds in there’s a cool dark “skirt” around the pillar of water under the ball.
The bounce back of the golf ball is super cool to see in the bowl. It has a really dramatic feel with the music as well
The angle of this shot really highlights the ripples and flow of the water. The reflections bouncing off the water are really eye catching.
I love that you can see the individual contours of the golf ball reflected in the downsplash that it makes. I also like the geyser effect that shows that the jet actually has power behind it, as it can fully push the golf ball upwards.
The golf ball entering the water and seeing the dimples create turbulence is very cool to see the physics of why the gold ball is designed like that. The bounce at the bottom of the container where the ball sheds all of its air voids is an interesting phenomenon.
I like how dramatic the drop is. The momentum you were able to generate with the water is really neat.
