High-speed camera course October 2013

In recent years high speed has come to a multitude of cameras, from the 2000fps of the Miro to the 50fps of a Canon 7D. It is accessible to all budgets and almost all cameras incorporate it. But what is the visual difference between 1000fps and 300fps? how much light is needed to illuminate high speed? and what kind of equipment? how do you vary the shutter on a variable speed ramp? and how do you expose?

This high-speed camera course will explore the visual philosophy of super slow motion and explain the parameters that define it technically, teaching how to prepare a shoot and performing indoor and outdoor practices to make the concepts clear.
