BMW - Bullet

Ok this is cool.  I'm a big fan of high speed film.  Check out this new commercial by Cundari that has a BMW M5 go 560mph through a variety of objects.



The name of the commercial "Bullet" obviously ties into the ultra high speed tests that were done by MIT professor Dr. Harold Edgerton.

Also check out these videos which also capture actions at higher than 1000 frames per second (standard HD is 30 frames per second.....the new Hobbit movie is 48 frames per second).....fast.

The Sandpit

There's something about projects shot with tilt shift lenses that I just love. The Sandpit is a short film by Sam O'hare that documents a day in NYC.  You can check out how the project was made here.
