Life at 1000fps

/ bocabit / dibujo-y-fotografia

Many times a thing becomes so tremendously everyday that it goes unnoticed, but nevertheless another perspective can make us notice a thousand and one details. Lifting a bare foot off the ground can be quite a storm if you pay attention and the fall of a few grains of sugar on the table can be a pile of bounces and breaks. But yes, to see it you need to have a camera that records at 1000 frames per second. Do you want to see what life is like at 1000 frames per second?

The truth is that watching any normal time of day at 1000 frames per second is crazy, especially if it is in High Definition, since you can see what exactly is happening. And boy do things happen! One of the most spectacular, without a doubt, exploding a balloon.

It’s surprising how colorful any action recorded this way becomes. See every small movement and every minimal reaction of the environment, every droplet of the balloon expanding or the waves that form in the rubber just before exploding.

Well, even more striking is what happens when you climb stairs, open the refrigerator or push a stool. Even walking is a strange action if seen in super slow motion. Consider that most of the actions seen in the following video last less than half a second…

If you liked these videos, you will surely be happy to know that the recording of HD videos at thousands of frames per second is beginning to be implemented in consumer cameras, so bring out your consumerist instinct and get one of those cameras.
