Do you ever like to look at the world in a different way. Here are four great videos where the framerate is set to super slo mo. Normally video is recorded at around 24fps. When slow motion videos are recorded the framerate is increased, then they are played back at regular speed. Thus, super slow motion.
As one blog pointed out, slow motion takes the mundane and makes it extraordinary.
This video is from Discovery. They have a whole section of “Time Warp” videos that you can watch on their YouTube page. I love how the balloon literally wraps around the dude’s head.
This amazing video is recorded with a Phantom Flex camera. A bored and engineering guy recorded this in his hotel room. The sound effects and music make it just about perfect. This is probably the most creative slo mo video of the bunch here.
The framerate here is 1 million (1,000,000) fps! Holy crap. Gunshot videos in slo mo are a bit overdone, but heck, it’s cool.
I love how watching these videos so slow makes it no longer about what is actually happening. It makes the video about the experience, and the shapes, colors, and reactions. It reminds me of Impressionism. Impressionism takes a painting and makes it about the colors, light, materials, and strokes. It’s no longs just a painting of a thing. The work becomes a part of the art.
Just for kicks, here is one last compilation video. It has some more generic slo mo shots, but some really cool gems are hidden in there, so be patient.
