See all Show me
This is a 2 minutes movie. All shots were made with a now old model of I-Movix hispeed camera (www.i-movix.com), in spring 2007.

Almost all of them were shot at 1000FPS, except a close-up, around 1'36", which was captured at 3000FPS.
Some pictures suffer CCD smear and debayering abberations, but the actual camera is far better and with no smear at all.

I'll post some more pictures of hispeed cam soon...

Enjoy, and feel free to leave any comment!

    Does this camera ramp the fps?

    Because I thought high FPS played at normal speed woud show little or almost no motion blur, an effect similar to using a high shutter speed.

    At 2:05 when the guy is passing the screen the slo-mo kicks in and at 2:08 when the playback speed is back to normal there's normal motion blur... At least it seems to me.

    I'm just curious...
  • David Coiffier plus 1 year ago
    Seeing normal motion blur at normal speed only depends on HOW you get that normal speed.
    In this case, normal speed is obtained by speeding up footage by a 40:1 ratio (1000/25). So if you only pick one frame every 40 frames, you'll have that "strobe" or "shutter" effect, since every frame has been captured at only 1/1000s.
    But for artistic choice, as well as realism concern, a much better solution than picking 1 frame every 40, is to frame blend your footage when speeding up. This way, every frame is used, and 40 of them are blended into a new resulting one. This way, you simulate very closely the motion blur you'd have if shot at normal speed.

    Is that clear ? (I'm not sure I am…)
  • Pietro Impagliazzo plus 1 year ago
    Thanks mate, that was clear.

    So it's just plain old frame interpolation?

    Or maybe something more complex, like motion compensation and bla blah?
  • David Coiffier plus 1 year ago
    There is no frame interpolation. Why do you think there is ? All I did was to blend frames together to have a nice speedup, with no strobe effect...
  • Pietro Impagliazzo plus 1 year ago
    I didn't think that, I was just asking.

    Motion blur is believable.

    Another cool flick from you....
    What camera did you use for this footage?

    Chris
  • David Coiffier plus 1 year ago
    The camera brand is Photron, but the whole system is from I-movix, and was at shooting time quite a proto. You can check actual model on I-movix website : i-movix.com

  • Christer Dahl plus 1 year ago
    Thx mate!
    I tried to find info about prices on the agents site, but couldnt find any..?! Coukd you give me a estimate on how much you need to spend on the gear you use for this footage?

    My friend Laurent (CEO) is coming back from Olympic games in a small week. I can ask him to get in touch with you if you wish.

    Anyway,when writing a mail, or speaking to him, just say you're a friend of mine, or something ;)
  • Christer Dahl plus 1 year ago
    Yes please! :)

    Great stuff Dave :D
    Can you give us some idea how much the camera is?
  • David Coiffier plus 1 year ago
    Very very much :/

    The thing is it's not only a camera, it's a system with a camera, a remote controller unit, a server that's fed by camera and which streams a real time HD-SDI video signal output...

    It's clearly build for professionnal use, in a realtime environment, like sport live action, and meant to be included into a bigger setup with many standard cams, video switcher, VCRs, etc...

    I think the whole system is about 200-250k$...but price will drop down fast in the future I guess :)

    Visit i-movix.com for more information, or you can also talk with the CEO, which is now a vimeo user : vimeo.com/lrenard
