Time Warp the TV show

Just did a segment on tattoo machines. Time Warp is a show that uses a super-high speed video camera to capture everyday events and then plays them back in super slow motion.

It's really cool to see a tattoo machine captured at 2500 or 5000 frames/second played back at 30 frames/second.

Skin looks just like water, with tiny little concentric ripples every time the needle punches into the skin. It looks just like dropping a stone into still water. Cool.
