I was hanging out with Kevin Kohler (The Backyard Scientist) a while back and he brought up this really awesome effect that he noticed early on in his YouTube career. It's basically a grid type shockwave that results in a star shaped shockwave! So cool!

At the time he only had an old Casio camera for slow motion, but it was just enough to be able to barely see this effect. Brandon had his Phantom v1611 with him, so we opted to shoot this in 18k fps just so see what it looked like. This was straight up mesmerizing.
