Re: Rotor Egg Drop B
I do realize how fake it looks, yet it is real, even though it does not spin (we are fixing that now) we belive we sould get at least 10-20 seconds, the only reason we got a minute is i belive it might have acted as a parachute unfortunatly, but i will try to fix that today...

Re: Rotor Egg Drop B

Re: Rotor Egg Drop B
Also, no offence taken to the skeptisism of other peoples comments, if i saw this on line, i would probably think it is also fake too ... Our prediction for our new device is 10seconds...

Re: Rotor Egg Drop B
Dittos on the BS call. Hmm, lets look at the evidence:
No rotation, Sorry, not even slowly.
Moves in steps, but device itself is still, nothing causing it to accelerate an decelerate, sorry, defying physics.
Its tilted, but no sideways movement, sorry again defying physics.
NO movement of person on floor, not even a jiggle, for supposedly a minute. Defies biology and human nature.
I can think of two ways to fake this. I'm sure there are more.
One already suggested, slow down an actual drop, refilm at high rate and move image crop to look like camera jiggle.
Suspend with fine string and slowly lower.
Stillness of person in bottom of frame suggests the first.

Possibly a good troll though.

Re: Rotor Egg Drop B
That's VERY interesting. How is the devise leaning like that?
If you REALLY wanted to troll, use a green screen to make a guy walk around the bottom area, then use a higher FPS camera.
I agree. You can see the rotor egg drop seem to stop midair for moment, then fall, then retain it's suspended state, then fall again.jander14indoor wrote: I can think of two ways to fake this. I'm sure there are more.

Re: Rotor Egg Drop B

Re: Rotor Egg Drop B
Maybe fishing wire? The camera could be tricked because of the sunlight radiating in from the windows. Please, to prove this, just drop it, then move a bar above it while showing a timer.KillerBuni wrote:person in the bottom right is holding a camera with both hands, and what string? can someone point that out to me?

Re: Rotor Egg Drop B
Obvious fake. Blades flapping due to accelerations. Fishing line easily visible from 45s on due to light through windows. Device swinging back and forth proving it's being suspended via the fishing line.
