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…
The BBC do this loads during their coverage of Wimbledon, and they record the images live during the games. I’m not sure what the speed of recording is, but it’s very very slow motion and it looks amazing.
You know, I keep telling my boss we need one at work, for filming “drop tests”. He just laughs.
(Casio EX-F1 is about the only commercially priced camera that can do HS Videos. BTW, how much does it cost to *rent* one of these bad boys for a day?)
Beautiful indeed!
I’ve seen that! Splendid! Yeah Kim Clijster from Belgium :o)
holy crap that is awesome.
