Making a 31 Can Silly String Cannon (For Harrison Ford!)
Here's a Behind-The-Scenes look as myself and the incredible Jimmy Kimmel Live prop team prototyped, fabricated, and tested two custom cannons capable of firing off 31 cans of Silly String simultaneously.
A lot of science and engineering went on behind the scenes to pull this off. We ultimately went through more than 200 cans of silly string, and 4 design concepts over 4 days before landing on the final design.
Harrison ford was the other guest on the show that night and when we showed him the cannon, a big smile came on his face and he really wanted to fire it. Building something used by Indiana Jones is a pretty awesome feeling.
