The event that takes place is called the Marangoni effect where a soap film stabilises the surface tension of the bubble allowing it to self-heal after the water drop passes through. This clip was shot by Gaven Mitchell, a student of Scientific Photography at RMT University, and Vision Research's own Phil Taylor, an Application Engineer in Singapore. The video was shot on a Phantom v4.3 at 800 x 600 @ 1200fps; the exposure of 250ms; using a Nikkor 180mm f2.8 @ min focus distance.
