A Beyblade Burst happens in a blink of an eye, and Beyblade gimmicks
activate without warning. So then, how do you capture a moment you're not even ready for?
capturing slow motion requires a lot of planning, lighting and patience. In this video i'll show you
how i create my own slow motion Beyblade videos. But the first thing i want to do is really talk
about the anime. In the anime, we get to see a lot of these gimmicks work in great detail,
but do you ever wonder what camera they have?!? It's incredibly clear and it's able to move,
or pan across the stadium. Even getting as low as the drivers. I'm gonna show you techniques
that achieve just that, so stick around to the end of the video so you know exactly how you
can create your very own Beyblade Burst slow motion videos. Here's a fun fact,
cameras which are often used by the slo-mo guys can range in price from $40 000
to well over a $100 000 dollars (and up). Most slow motion footage that you see is actually
shot up to 25 000 frames per second, and at 25 000 frames per second that's over 25 Gigapixels.
That's a digital image composed of over one billion pixels, that's one thousand times
the information captured by one megapixel in a digital camera. To achieve that, scientists,
crash test experts and the slo-mo guys here on YouTube usually use a Phantom camera. They can
actually do up to 1 million frames per second. Making these kinds of cameras an absolute marvel
of science, and precision because each single component in these slow-motion cameras must be
tailor-made, and is usually at the cutting edge of science itself. And,
with frame rates like those we can definitely see most of the Beyblade gimmicks we love, but not
all. The limitations of these cameras is their memory storage and trigger mechanisms.
Just imagine how much memory it takes for them to actually record and process all of that
information that comes from a slow motion video. Like with most slow motion footage, you already
have to know what you want to capture, and when you want to capture it. Most of these experiments
are very controlled, and so, how do i control that with my Beyblade videos? Well, of course
with a tripod to have a stable shot, we do have a lot of planning before any videos are made. For my
videos, they're usually from 60 frames per second to 120 frames per second. Nowhere near the amount
that these cameras have, and is done on my phone. Therefore more limitations are placed on my work.
I can spend up to 30 minutes looking for a shot that takes milliseconds to unravel, made
just before it happens, and with the correct lighting. Lighting is a very important factor
in achieving perfect quality in a slow motion video. If you're trying to create your own
slow motion videos there are a few links that i'll share with you down in the description below,
and there are a few options that will help you. Using a high frame rate camera like the GoPro 8,
or 9. Some of them go up to 280 frames per second, and cost about $600 dollars(USD). Some with a
built-in feature that records before you press the action button. When it comes to getting slow
motion footage, there is no way around it. The greatest tools you will have is your patience,
your tenacity, and your willingness to capture that perfect moment, just like this Beyblade dad.
