Slow Motion Videography

Slow motion reveals things that happen too fast to see in real time — the mechanics of a golf swing, the splash of a water droplet, the moment of impact in a collision. Done well, it's one of the most viscerally compelling tools in video. This section covers the cameras capable of high frame rate capture, the exposure and lighting challenges that come with it, and the creative applications that make slow motion more than a gimmick.
