This is the breathtaking moment a colour infusion of red and blue paint occurs in mid-air when two balloons are crashed together and explode.

YouTube sensations The Slow Mo Guys filled up one balloon with blue paint and the other with red for the experiment and caught the stunning results on camera.

The British duo then edited the film to forty times slower than the human eye usually sees, and topped it off with mesmerising high-definition.

Preparation: In the clip, The Slow Mo Guys are seen filling up two balloons, one with red pain, one with blue

Ready: Free (pictured) stands on one side while Gruchy on the other, and the balloons are dropped together

Collision: The video shows some failed attempts before the two balloons eventually bounce into one another

Vibrations: As the balloons collide with one another, the impact causes ripples to form on their surfaces

Pop: During an early attempt, the red balloon explodes on impact while the blue balloon stays intact

The pair, real names Gavin Free and Dan Gruchy performed the stunt as part of an advertising campaign for Foster's Rocks, a new rum-flavoured version of the popular Aussie-style lager.

The Slow Mo Guys, who are originally from Oxfordshire, exploded onto the YouTube scene in 2010 and became one of the original pioneers of the genre.

Since moving to Austin, Texas, in 2013, the duo have amassed more than 7.5 million subscribers and 855 million YouTube views.

Their videos use extreme slow motion to show situations in a new light.

In one recent video, they slowed down footage of one of them jumping on a giant water balloon.

Gavin Free said: 'Not surprisingly, we think everything is better in slow-mo.

Amazing: Despite only one of the balloons bursting the duo discuss how incredible it looks in slow motion

Success: Finally the British duo are able to achieve a direct hit and the two balloons burst in unison

Infusion: A sea of red and blue paint mixes in the air moments after the balloons collide and burst

Mix: Red and blue paint, and a purple colour somewhere in the middle, is seen splattering all over the studio

With one balloon blue and the other red, the result when they hit them together was a breathtaking colour explosion

'Teaming up with Foster's Rocks to bring to life the crash of cold lager and the flavour of spiced rum on an epic scale was right up our street.

'We used state-of-the-art technology to slow the film down to forty times slower than the human eye which means we could capture things which would otherwise be entirely invisible.'

Ifeoma Dozie, of Foster's said: 'Dan and Gavin's adventurous antics mean we can tell the Foster's Rocks story in an almighty and impressive way.'

Just for fun: After the experiment going well, Gruchy volunteers to have balloons of paint thrown at him

Too late: After celebrating that the paint did not cover his face, a yellow balloon is thrown at his chest
