Ice Cube Falling Into A Glass Of Water In A Super Slow Motion Video Clip

An ice cube falls in excruciatingly slow motion into a glass of pure, clear water with a resulting splash of liquid up and out of the glass in this 1000 frame per second stock video captured with the Phantom HD camera. The background is a clean, neutral gradation; the effect is one of refreshment, purity, pure and natural, and sensuality. The water glistens and sparkles as it rushes up, settles down, then pumps back up again. This video can add tremendous impact and eye-appeal to an presentation centered around water, liquid, purity, natural qualities, food, and beverages.

The Impact Of Ultra Slow Motion Video

The impact of ultra slow motion video is hard to overstate. Because we so seldom see such an approach it grabs our attention. Slow motion at 1000 frames per second shows us what we not only haven't seen before, but often what we never even imagined. If you are like us, you will want to watch this clip over and over! While using the Phantom camera we had to keep reminding ourselves to keep shooting instead of watching what we had just captured, over and over again!

How To Shoot Ice Cubes Falling Into Water In Slow Motion Stock Video

One of the most important aspects of capture stock video clips is to make sure everything is perfect. In this situation that meant using acrylic ice cubes, which actually look better than the real thing. Real ice cubes tend to get cloudy because of water bubbles trapped in the ice. It is also important to make sure the glass is clean. One drip mark on the glass can spoil the whole take. Same with the background; it has to be clean and free of anomalies. Of course, the lighting has to add sparkle, but be free of unwanted reflections. Then it is just a matter of dropping those ice cubes over and over again, with thorough cleaning between each drop!
