Capturing A Pop Top Opening In Slow Motion Video Stock Footage

It is surprising how little happens when you open a soda can by pulling the pop top. Unless you have livened things up a bit by shaking the can there will only be the slightest trace of vapor. That is what happened with the first can we opened. After that, I shook the next can up vigorously, but again was disappointed in the lackluster enthusiasm of the soda within. The third can I shook violently and pounded several times on the counter. Now we were getting somewhere! There was indeed a satisfying burst of bubbles and splash as the contents shot out of the opening. The fourth can I shook violently, pounded it on the counter, then squatted down and pounded it on the cement floor of the studio. Mistake. The can sprang a leak. Thinking i could still position the can and pull the top for the camera, I leapt to my feet. The leaking soda had made the floor slick, my feet skidded out from under me as I vigorously pushed off towards the camera. The force took me horizontal to the floor, and I was still horizontal as i landed with a sickening thud and lay there stunned as the soda can proceeded to empty its contents on me. It was three days before I could walk comfortably again!
