The Next Web:
This video is from the Danish TV show Dumt & Farligt. It takes a Phantom Flex, a camera that can run anywhere from $50k-$150k, and applies it to some of the silliest and most awesome 2500 Frames-per-second slow-motion footage I’ve seen.
Talk about “fun with explosives and a high speed camera”!
Physics and chemistry made interesting.
Mythbusters should license these guys.
okay here’s what I don’t understand. we have cameras that can run up to 2500 frames per second and we still have to endured shaky cam, way to fast to see what is going on fight scenes etc in movies. Wouldn’t it make more sense to capture more data with a higher frame rate and use that data to stabilize the images and/or slow down the fight scenes so you can see what’s happening. And then there’s the low light thing. That fireworks one showed some pretty clear low light, why can’t we have that in our movies rather than a black and dark blue mess. I just can’t believe that the issue is that there aren’t projectors and screens that can use the films clearly. Maybe that’s not helping the issue but it can’t be the only reason
Not to mention that some of those explosions were better practical effects than what has been made in CGI for recent films.
