![]() ![]() I asked him about the crossover between science and art when it comes to slow motion. He’s also done far more interesting things, like dropping 600 ping pong balls onto 300 mousetraps. Kuchta in 2012 when he offered to videotape me getting hit in the face with a snowball at 1,000 frames per second, which was something I really couldn’t turn down. Pretty soon, he became fascinated by other applications of slow-motion video. Matthew Kuchta, a geologist from the University of Wisconsin-Stout, who several years ago, bought a 10,000 frame-per-second video camera for his lab in order to take high-speed video of rock samples fracturing under pressure. ![]() To get some insights on slow motion video, I talked to Dr. This includes both things that we have seen before, like the motion of fabric as a person moves through a room and things that we’ve never clearly seen, like the beat of a bird’s wings. The result of this is that things that normally move by too quickly become visible - we have more time to experience and appreciate them. ![]() 25 percent speed means that 120 frames are exposed during each second. So at 50% speed, 60 video frames are exposed every second, and when they’re played back at the usual rate of 30 frames per second, it takes twice the actual time to view them. To slow down what we see on the screen, we increase the number of images that are taken each second while keeping the playback speed the same. Normally a video camera takes 30 frames per second and then plays back 30 frames per second. It may seem a little counter-intuitive, but in slow motion, you actually take more frames during the same period of time, so a “high” frame rate means “slow” video. ![]()
