Shout out to the Origins of The Slo Mo Guys.

Thank goodness Pathe did everything on film , if the BBC had made them on videotape it would have been erased and lost .

[@MicroChirp]

These are all telecine transfers from quite a while ago. Not sure if the original reels are all still preserved.

2:14 This is more interesting than anything SloMo Guys have captured. Granted, flashbulbs probably weren't in production when they were born

A cat always lands on its feet,buttered toast always lands buttered side down! Fix the toast on the cats back and then drop the cat! Perpetual motion?
