Each picture is a different egg. I set everything up and shot an egg for each frame - that explains some of the jumpiness.
My photography teacher let me spend a semester making this. I took about 50 good photographs (some were left out of this animation to make it smoother).
The hardest part was just getting everything to be exactly the same each time. I wasted a lot of time taking pictures only to find that I wasn't doing it consistently enough. Special thanks to for making a plexiglass box to protect my camera from egg guts, and also for assembling the pictures in Flash. Also, thanks to HiViz for helping me build the laser trigger required to do this.
Tools: Canon 350D (camera), Vivitar 283 (flash), HiViz photogate (laser trigger) For detailed info on how this was done, read my paper - [link]
Wow! Thats dedication, right there. It is a really cool idea though The pink/purple looks great with the yellow, and you can see them mixing together and stuff..
Whoa, who know an exploding egg would look so catastrophic when on high speed.
