This is the epitome of a great dog food commercial. It’s cute, cuddly, dogs in slow-motion. Albeit a bit long, but who can’t resist the soft flowing fur at 1,000 frames-per-second? Not I. I dare you to not smile. Koodos goes out to Pedigree for an awesome commercial.

Sure, the video of a bullet hitting the surface at a million frames-per-second is short lived; but who cares? It’ totally awesome. Never have you been able to see such incredible detail, and look ma’, the bullet separates like string cheese. I freaking love slow-motion!

The above video was taken with the Shimadzu HPV-1 and records AVI’s at 312×260. It even has a dual-camera option which allows a user to record 3D Video (Analglyph). Grab more specs over at Kurzzeit.

I wish I owned a video camera that shot slow motion. You can make [just about] anything look cool when it’s being shot at 1,000 frames-per-second. I mean, just check out this video shot with a I-Movix SprintCam V3. Sure, it may take me 30 years to finally be able to afford one of these bad boys, but damn, if that’s not the coolest shit. I lub me some slow motion.

Amazing Video of Slow Motion Skateboarding

Mmm, slow motion. Looking around on Vimeo today I found this awesome video of slow motion skateboarding. Skateboarding never seemed so intricate. The music they chose is very suitable for this slow motion sequence.


skate – shot on red #1347 – 120 fps from www.theglobules.com on Vimeo.

Looking at the title, I searched the internet to find out “what’s a RED camera?” It’s basically a cheap version of movie cameras. And, when I say cheap, I mean $4,000. I guess that is cheap when compared to the $100,000′s the studios spend on them.

You can check out all of RED’s cameras online at their website.

Everything’s so much prettier when it goes in to slow motion. Water droplets splashing into a pool of water, seeing actual wings on a humming bird flap, even a car crash can seem very soothing. Today, I’m going to show you something that’s going to make you smile. How do I plan on doing this?

Easy… snow + slow motion = happiness. Enjoy.

This was taken with a Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 Digital Camera. Pretty fucking sweet, if you ask me.

What could be better than watching people get punched, in slow-motion nonetheless? Nothing! Remix it with a catchy techno beat and you’ve got pure gold. Enjoy.
