Watch Fireworks Set Off in Slow-Motion 'Matrix' Style

What do fireworks look like when they're filmed at 240 frames per second? Glad you asked.

Jeremiah Warren used a GoPro Hero3 camera attached to a ceiling fan to simulate a famous scene in The Matrix in which Neo (Keanu Reeves) dodges a series of bullets. The result is a fireworks show like you've never seen before.

Best of all, as Warren details in his blog, his experiment only cost around $50. For a full explanation, watch the video below.

Happy Fourth of July!
