I'd like to do that to each of my customers.

Oh, and I'm your first "Like". Was it good for you too, Johnny Longbone?

Perhaps Poopman should buy some disposable gloves. Just sayin'.

A friend of mine does laser lighting as a side gig, not quite that awesome but still pretty awesome.

How does this even happen?

Looks like the blades were out of balance, or something came loose in the control system.  There are so many little arms and adjusters on the main shaft it's amazing helicopters don't do this all the time.

This is pretty funny.
Star Trek with the camera movement taken out:



They must have been given direction to "throw your arms up in the air" because they all do it.  Not really a natural thing to do when you are falling.

And I guess they didn't get "direction" on the direction they should all go.  Uhura and Kirk are the only ones going in the direction of the camera tilt.

So, yeah, Uhura and Kirk are the only ones going in the wrong direction.  With the camera tilting as it does, what would appear to be 'down' (when played normally) would be the direction the rest of the crew is headed.  Oops!

Yes, I had noticed it ages ago but watching the flat version messed me up, the scene is about 40 minutes into Balance of Terror when they detonate the Romulan nuke at point blank range, and it is Uhura and Kirk "falling" the wrong direction.

With the flat version it took me a few times watching it (and tilting my head with it) to get adequate perspective on what was 'down' and 'up' at the end.  (Then mentally confirming it by 'calculating' what would be down by rough percent of floor was visible on each side of the screen at the end of the clip.)  The flat version does play havok with one's perspective.

[Just for clarity: my "Oops!" in the previous post was for Shatner and Nichols.]
