"That was unexpected..."
Behind the scenes on our slo-mo explosions shoot. It's not every day you bring together the fastest HD camera in London, the most famous lecture theatre in science, the best chemical wizards in the business and a stack of dangerous substances. To save the day and its mishaps for posterity, we decided to stick a few cameras on the set-up, staff and surroundings of the shoot, as well as on the stage. Just be glad the microphones and your speakers aren't faithful to the true loudness of the NI₃ explosions...
