High speed recording is fun.

One of the nice things about DSLRs or at least the Canon line, which includes the t2i, t3i, 60D, 7D, and 5D is that there is a feature that allows you to record at 60 fps.

What that means is that you are able to record at a higher speed than what you would need in a film which is 24fps. And why this is cool is because you are able to shoot something at 60fps and then slow down the shots to 24fps and see either people or objects moving in slow motion and still maintain all of those frames.

I have posted a couple of videos below of some of the videos I have shot at 60fps and then slowed down. One is a glass of water being poured into a cup. The other is a compilation of a football game I made that was shot in high speed and then there is a combination of high speed video being slowed down and just the high speed video itself, which can create some cool effects. Especially if you think of fighting scenes like you've seen in movies.

A website that really helped me work through high speed shooting is film riot and I have included a link here for the episode that dealt with high speed shooting.
