My helicopter video is finally out! Thanks for your support.

It took ages to edit and get sorted after we filmed this late last year. Captain Disillusion and I also realised we were working on very similar videos. So we've made this a micro-colab and both briefly appear in the other video. If you support Captain D on patreon you may have already seen their video.

Both videos should go live some time today.

Can we film a stroboscopic helicopter?

Do check out Captain Disillusion's video "Quick D: Static Helicopter Blades". http://youtube.com/watch?v=mPHsRcI5LLQ Thanks to Polina for flying the helicopter all day.

I wonder if Polina Harkin is married to James Harkin, of QI fame. James Harkin and Matt Parker seem like they could easily be friends, and might orbit in similar circles.

Maarten Daalder

That's a bit of a role reversal when compared with the rolling shutter effect and Smarter Every Day. :D

Matt Parker

You are correct! Polina is the cool half of the Harkin Duo.

Matt Parker

Yeah, and Destin was pretty quick to remind me of that!

Oh my god, it's finally happened, the moment that I, as an American, ask a foreigner "Hey, do you know X" and it turns out that they totally do.

Now we know where all our Patreon money goes: on you hiring helicopters to fly around for a day, to prove a simple piece of maths that other film crews capture “by accident” for free! Thankfully the maths worked out! 😜 Keep up the good work and making your videos. I also enjoyed the recent solar eclipse video (26 July), and hoping the trip wasn’t also paid by Patreon supporters... Although I’m a bit worried that you’re dabbling in the dark arts, making pieces of card levitate and then float around in space all by themselves, while you’re talking about maths... 👻

Are there any Humble Pi tour dates that aren't on the website? Would love to see it but looks like you're not doing Manchester this time?
