Beautiful slow-motion video of an exploding Xbox 360

Dan Saelinger blew up a bunch of Xbox 360 consoles and controllers in the quest to capture the perfect image of all the action for his new job with Fortune Magazine. He says,  

I was recently brought on by Armin Harris for a job with Fortune Magazine. The story was about console gaming’s demise. We came up with a concept to incorporate still and video footage of exploding consoles and controllers, particularly Xbox 360′s, for the story. The shoot took place at a pyrotechnics studio in Brooklyn called J and M Special Effects. The location was great because they have a permanent NYC explosives permit as well as a pyrotechnician on staff. Below is a behind the scenes video of the initial set up.
