National Geographic Films Fastest Animal In Slow Mo

If you were asked to film the world’s fastest animal running in slow motion, what would you do? Director Hans Weise and cinematographer Greg Wilson teamed up with National Geographic to produce some stunning footage of a cheetah running at full speed. After meticulously building a 410 foot dolly to die for, the team propelled a few Canon 1D X cameras and a high speed Phantom along side the cheetah. I can’t wait to see the final footage but after watching the behind the scenes video I’m sure it’s going to be breathtaking.

UPDATE: Here is the final slow motion footage used for National Geographic:

at 42 seconds it clearly says 1D-X but why is the X red line the Cinema line?? thats odd.. but awesome video! I agree with Mike!

The color of the X changes as the camera angle changes, so I think it seems red because it reflects something red or another similiar color from the foreground.
