Can your camera do this? Send it to college. Film shorts along the lines of this one doubtless led to later mandatory disclaimers such as “No persons, animals or lawn vegetation were harmed during the production of this feature.”
Up first: A demonstration of time-lapse photography, where we find that observing dandelions is far more interesting than watching grass grow.
Switching to slow-motion photography, we get a post-Olympics primer and learn why cats generally try their best to avoid being picked up by humans, in the Name of Science or otherwise.
And this is why cameramen generally try to avoid being picked for assignments involving a temporary platform attached to the front of a moving 1940 Chevrolet Special De Luxe Town Sedan. It’s perfectly safe, though: See, he’s wearing a helmet.
The producers obviously felt it was worth the slim risk of a potential insurance claim to capture that knee-action suspension do its thing in slo-mo. And the car looks great once its fender is reattached.
Surely you’ll appreciate a Schlieren Photography 101 demonstration, with its light-my-fire conclusion.
