seeing the vibration of the dunun head, the ripple of the upper arm muscle, and the rebound of the hands was fantastic!!! thanks for posting this!!

how much does video equipment (or software) that can slow down playback cost?

best,

To get good quality slow motion, you need to record with a slow motion camera. Adding the effect afterwards with software tricks looks terrible.

You can do reasonably cheap (around $300) slow motion video with cameras such as the Casio Exilim EX-FH100, but only at quite low resolution (120fps at 640x480), and for short periods (a few seconds at higher frame rates). If you want something better, you move quickly into the multi-thousand dollar bracket.

The linked clip was shot with a Phantom HD Gold, which costs around $115,000.

Bops was telling me his new camera shoots slow motion, I'm sure he'll chime in on this one soon...

a few hundred is a reasonable price point. multiple thousands of dollars is a little too much for me at this point. -brian
