Extreme Slow Motion Film Distorts View of a Vegas Hotel Room
Slow down, pick up a camera, and open a wormhole to a place where a dripping tap creates tidal waves.
Sick of hurtling through life at breakneck speed? Then slow down. Slow right down, and check out this mesmerising video by videographer and editor, Tom Guilmette. Armed with a Phantom Flex camera, locked overnight in a Las Vegas hotel room and unable to sleep, Guilmette captured extraordinary footage of ordinary processes, revealing their truly surreal nature.
Normally, film is shot at around 24 frames per second. The Vision Research Phantom Flex camera can shoot around 100 times more, and is capable of capturing 2,564 frames per second. Of the experience of filming with such incredible technology, Guilmette said "I never did go to bed that night. I opened up a wormhole shooting at 2,564 frames per second."
Who'd have thought a shattering lightbulb could have such inimitable beauty? That dripping taps create miniature tidal waves? Guilmette's superb use of slick editing, music and sound effects reveal our world in incredible detail, and showcase new possibilities in filmmaking.
