minus-squaregramie@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up29·9 months agoThe high-speed camera is how you get slow motion footage.
minus-squarefakeman_pretendname@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up15·edit-29 months agoThat’s a very good point - one I perhaps wish I’d realised myself 20 minutes ago. [Edit] People also like sped-up footage of things being destroyed though, right?
minus-squareSPRUNT@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up19·9 months agoNay! Sped up footage of massive things being assembled.

minus-squareTroy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up9·9 months agoHigh speed refers to the shutter speed in a camera – how quickly it can take frames. Slow motion footage is taken in a high speed camera. It’s just a weird quirk of language.
minus-squarefakeman_pretendname@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-29 months agoStupidly enough, I actually know this, and know it very well :( I just took it as: High speed | camera footage i.e. camera footage, playing at high speed. Instead of: High speed camera | footage i.e. footage from a high speed camera I am ashamed.
