I just got a camera that can shoot up to 240 fps.. probably plenty of stuff to do with that, but lets start with the classical laser and match :)

I love how when the flame appears, it looks like a scarf blowing in the wind. Pretty cool looking.

High frame rate shots are great!
Looking forward to more!....try low light, IR on a match(magic ignition) ;)
 
Too bad i seem out of balloons... wonder if it will be fast enough to pic up some detail on those. I don't have any IR lasers at hand, but perhaps the 'magic' effect would be there too when using 532 or 445 and filming through goggles?
 
Is it the Fuji HS11 by any chance? I have a Fuji HS10 and love the highspeed video function :D

This was done at 480FPS I believe:



I don't think balloons would be very noticeable at 240FPS, I've tried them at 1000FPS and it's still too fast for the camera.

I think the show "TimeWarped" did balloons,
I think they had to film it at 5k fps to capture it
Water balloons are awesome the way the water stays in
place for a sec after it pops..

need More.... :)

I dont think popping a water balloon with a laser will work very well, but i could have a go at it using a needle or something similar ;) Just gotta make sure not to accidentily drown the camera (canon 310HS btw).
 
Here is a gif I made a while ago of a bluray lighting a match at high speed (1k/sec):

Could you possibly get some high speed shots of a laser projector if you have one?
 
I suppose i could, but what part of the projector would you be interested in seeing at high speed?
 
How about this? ;)



I have one of a water balloon popping in various speeds too, but I don't think I've uploaded it.
 
Thats cool,
almost looks like tiny lightning strikes giving off diffrent colors....
