Hello all, I'm a video producer looking to recreate something I saw on youtube for a project i'm working on. I have been researching for a week or so and can not recreate what I see. Basically I need to produce ice crystals on a flat plain to do macro video on. This video shows exactly what I would like to do. ANY suggestions would be awesome!!!

I have not done experiments with super cooling but maybe someone will also post
But here is my 2 cents

The water in the pan is water with soap in it much like the kids blowing bubbles toy.

Super cooling is not just cooling the water but cooling it at a specific rate

The container and environment is such that there are no particles to cause solidification in the pan

I expect the process of dipping the glass tube on the surface was done with care and no jostling to prevent the film of soapy water from bursting.

I am thinking they then held it over the camera and flung fine ice crystals down the tube to get the pictures

They did do a lot of cut away scenes

--------------------------
The film itself appears to be something the person did buy copying something that is not part of you tube
I looked at the user profile and did not see a way to send email

Good luck - let us see if we get other comments
