Behold a water balloon ‘party’ in super slo-mo
Brad Kremer used §300,000 worth of Phantom Flex high-speed camera gear to create this epic slow-motion footage of the neighborhood children’s water balloon party. Because that is what you do, if you have that kind of gear lying around. Via PetaPixel
As summer comes to an end and Autumn begins, kids go back to school and dream of warm days filled with laughter and joy. This short film is a reflection of that dream. Shot with a Phantom Flex it captures the magic of the moment. With frame rates of up to 2564 fps at 1080p we see every detail, every smile and every sparkle in the kids eyes. And that is where the magic lies. Within the hopes and dreams of our children.
