History Inception Gavin Free and Dan Gruchy hosting a panel at RTX 2013 In the case of The Super Slow Show and Planet Slow Mo, as the budget of the show increased and more cast was involved, the experiments got larger and more elaborate the availability of a designated camera crew allowed Free to participate in the stunts as well. The episodes are generally filmed in Free's backyard in Austin, Texas, usually with only the two of them involved. Following the popularity of their most viewed video, Giant 6ft Water Balloon, Free and Gruchy have regularly produced further videos involving Gruchy in or around several-foot water balloons under the event of "Giant Balloon June". Some episodes feature Gruchy explaining how some explosives work, such as grenades and detonation cord, allowing him to draw on his background in the military. Over the years, Gruchy suffered numerous injuries, such as a lacerated ear, a glass shard lodged in his finger, an oil burn and a fractured wrist he jokingly noted that he has suffered more injuries during the filming of the show than during his tour in the Afghanistan war zone. The episodes generally feature Free as the cinematographer and camera operator, and Gruchy, a former ammunition technician corporal in the British Army who served in Afghanistan, as the rigger and often also as the stuntman. The most prominent of the few stains on Free's lab coat is a blue paint smear on the right shoulder " autographed" by a Blue Man. Gruchy's lab coat is the more stained of the two, with Free's coat in fairer condition. Because the original lab coats Free ordered were too small for Gruchy, Gruchy's lab coat tore and has traditionally had a torn off right sleeve. To emphasise the science angle, the pair wear lab coats. The Slow Mo Guys is heavily influenced by Mythbusters in a typical episode, Free and Gruchy attempt to film some sort of natural or physical phenomenon in extreme slow motion: subjects of the filming are often some type of spectacular chemical or physical reaction, stress tests of certain objects under extreme conditions, while some episodes simply aim for an aesthetically pleasing result, often by the use of rainbow-coloured paints.
