You recall that fancy 1000 frames per second cinema camera called the Phantom that I love so much (that was the feature camera from this project)? Well they’ve got a new one out…the Phantom Flex and it shoots 1250 fps now at full 1080 HD.
Well the New York Times Magazine (that’s right, editorial….) is shooting motion these days. Renowned Director of Photography there, Kathy Ryan, hired photographer Dewey Nicks to shoot some tennis stars.
Although not “new”, this is beautiful stuff. And best of all, they are using this badass camera in the editorial context. Gotta love that. Gotta. Freakin. Loveit.
NYT doesn’t allow embeds of the vids, so check them out HERE.
Another screen shot after the jump…
How could you not love it!!!!
I watched those vids about 5 times just now lol. I’m such a nerd..
But the direction of where everything is head scares me a bit but it’s a good scare because so much creativity just ran through my mind for new shoots. I’ve been shooting crazy here with new works in the shell Chase. My time to shine is coming soon. But keep things like this coming to add to my hustle big bro!
Amazing!

Chase…. You Americans are lagging! Last week I assisted the DOP on a shoot for Lacoste trainers with the Photron camera. Thats the 2000 frames per second HD 1080P camera. We were also shooting with 99,000W lights…
Need I say more.
Lagging? America has had cameras capable of 10000 fps since the forties 🙂
They were used to film atomic test detonations, which amount to 80 trillion watt-second flashes.
gotta figure how the still images turns out. noisy? or totally badass?
1250 FPS…. what a crazy shutter speed.
looking for more infos on that one, that’s insane!
