I mean seriously, why isn’t everything shot in slo-mo? EVERYTHING looks better slow. When we were shooting the video for Porsche (see my MOTION link above) I couldn’t get enough of the clip of the GT3RS sliding sideways in 120fps, but slow motion is way beyond that nowadays. My buddy Ian sent me the top video and it got me to thinking, “virtually everything I’ve ever seen shot in super slo-mo looks tite.” Note my examples below.

Typically, pool isn’t that interesting… But in super slow motion….

Birds into jet engines, terrifying. In super slow motion, exhilarating!

This is just plain bad ass!

Everyone has seen this video, so I thought I’d post it and give props to the slo-mo drifting

Going back to my roots, I thought I’d post some work of a somewhat local artist. I’m always surprised to see all the great work that comes out of Portland, and from rather unsuspecting fellows too. Take the two guys I used to work with at Nike for example (Marshall and Russell you know who you are). Meet them on the street: what’s up, regular ass dudes with no tats and who wear normal fitting jeans and t-shirts. Meet them in the lab and they’re turning out some of the sickest motion graphics and 3D work I’ve ever seen. Anyway, back to this guy…

This piece was just too good to pass up. I personally have never used Lightwave, but this is about as good as I’ve even seen. And forget the tech mumbo jumbo, this is a pretty bad ass Porsche commercial too! It’s ads like this that I watch and think, “This is real sick, probably cost a fortune, but where does it end up?..”

I’ve kinda been all over the place with this post, so I’ll go ahead and shut it down. Check out Stephen Fitzgerald’s Vimeo page and keep checking back for more blogs on motion graphics, video production and editing.
