What have you filmed?

Avatar

So next Friday I’m having all four of my wisdom teeth pulled out in the chair at the dentists and I’ve just received a GPH3B for my birthday and want to film everything. So as the day approaches I’m thinking I’ll try get my dentist to film the whole thing POV. I’m not sure how it’ll turn out but got me thinking what’s the weirdest thing you’ve filmed?

Best: Snowboarding
Weirdest: Snowboarding

I only film snowboarding lol smile

Actually I filmed skating once. I still think snowboarding takes both hats though.

My little sister gets hers out next wed, but in hospital.. Lol

weirdest was um.. Probably my dog supermaning it when we walk her (she used to grab the lead in her mouth.. Lay on her side on the grass.. Put her back legs out, and point one front leg forward while we dragged her lol!)

I do quite alot of filming.. From car cruises.. To time lapses to snow/skateboarding… To snorkeling etc.

best…probably an octopus in a rock pool attacking our gopro on pole cam maybe? The way the change colour and how quickly they do it is mind boggling. Actually maybe freddy filmed that cos I was scared. haha
so best might be goggle cam of Torstein doing the box run in snowpark.

weirdest….Crackers getting a spine from a palm frond removed from his wrist by the GP. It was about 2 inches long and went in just below his thumb down into his wrist somewhere…I actually kind of missed the money shot because my eyes went so wide when I saw how big it really was and I lost concentration and forgot I was filming.
Don’t do palm frond jousting with your brother, kids!

I hope you have a spare batteries Will, 4x wisdom teeth will likely take longer than 1:20min

Weirest thing I’ve filmed - that’s gonna take some thought…

Haha yeah spaz the surgeon is telling me he thinks it will be under an hour so hopefully will be sweet.

Cords the palm frond sounds pretty good. I had filmed the doc cutting away the dead skin and bits on my finger when a bench grinder attacked it but alas it was lost many phones ago.

When I went to have all my wisdom teeth pulled it ended up taking 2.5hrs to just get 2 out!
The dentist decided the other 2 could stay in. (he said I had the strongest jaw bone he’s ever worked on).
My (then) gf watched most of the whole thing including the hammer and chisel part, knees on the chest etc..
I remember her saying she wished she had a camera so she could show me.
When it came time for hers to be pulled she opted for the hospital and to be knocked out.

Just be aware after watching the footage you may never want to go to the dentist again - for this reason the dentist might not agree to video.
There may also be liability concerns from his side.
I had a friend who had dentistry videoed in Europe.


I think filming a mini avalanche engulfing a friend after I dropped it was up there on my weird list.
Videoed some knees dislocating during ski races a couple of times.

A few other peoples rental videos have weird stuff in them :bug eyes:
And now I’ve set up a cctv system in a late night bar I see some strange shiz on the recorded stuff.

hammer and chisel? wtf?

i had 2 out in Melbourne, 2 wisdom and 2 shattered molars in 20 mins max. simple incision on the gum, push sideways on molars, then push sideways on wisdom and bam, stitched up and on my way. He was an extraction specialist and he said he doenst understand why people try pull them out, they are designed to not be pulled out. Simple pressure on the side and they pop out.

Yeah mine only took about 20mins too!!!!!

He put a screw into them, them as you said deano, put pressure from side to side (felt like fibres breaking), then he just popped them out!!!!!
