Beautifully Choreographed Destruction on Display

Art

We love the curated destruction that this series ‘Fugue’ by Optical Arts undertakes.

By perfectly timing the same action but with different objects, we see choreographed smashing in beautiful slow motion.

Set to Fugue in A major by Dmitri Shostakovich, the music gives a unique characteristic to the dramatic action on display.

A colorful fabric sculpture in shades of pink and yellow, dynamically stretched and suspended, creating an abstract form against a neutral background.

The beautifully arranged objects include fruit, eggs, wood, scarves, and more, each one responding to the pendulum smash in satisfying ways.

The timed choreography gives us a seamless view of the destruction.

Norwegian Fjords Captured in Super Smooth Slow Motion Footage

General

Today’s action cameras capture amazing footage, and it’s dramatically apparent in this video from Tomasz Furmanek, that show the Norwegian fjords in hyper smooth slow motion.

They make for one hell of a commercial for the GoPro 7, but also for the beauty of Norway, and it’s natural beauty.

Check out the video below to be taken away to a peaceful kayaking adventure.

Dramatic, Slow Motion Shattering by Optical Arts

Art

Entitled ‘Toccata’, this dramatic, slow-motion work by Optical Arts takes us on a dramatic three minute exploration of smashing and crashing, with all manner of dinnerware, wine glasses and more exploding on impact.

Elegantly edited to include the reverse build, and paired with the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, by Johann Sebastian Bach, it’s a full on experience that you should watch fullscreen.

Slow Motion Paint on a Speaker

The Slo-Mo Guys do this type of stuff all the time, but seeing paint move at 2500 FPS is pretty neat.

Phantom Cat

Animals

It seems that anything shot using the Phantom high-speed camera looks amazing, and that’s more than true with the National Geographic/Cincinnati Zoo collaboration on cheetahs. Simply filming cheetahs running in a straight line, the Phantom slows that incredible speed down using a 1200 frames per second shutter.

With this fantastic slow motion, you can really get a sense for how the cheetah runs such amazing speeds.

Sadly, Cheetahs are among the world’s most vulnerable big cats, and their numbers are dwindling. Read more about Cheetah conservation here.
