Don’t blink: You might miss it. So fast is the popping of a photoflash bulb that even when shot at a stunning 1052 frames-per-second, it is all over in a short moment.
This hypnotic video was shot with the Phantom camera by VFX supervisor and filmmaker Frazer Churchill (VFX boss on Scott Pilgrim Vs The World). The Phantom is capable of shooting at amazing speeds at high definition, up to one million fps, but the real magic lies in slowing down the normally invisible to speeds our eyes can cope with. And this bursting flash is certainly magic. I like it so much I put the embedded video on loop so you can watch it over and over. You’re welcome.
