Also slow-motion camera footage of something being destroyed.
The high-speed camera is how you get slow motion footage.
That's a very good point - one I perhaps wish I'd realised myself 20 minutes ago.
[Edit] People also like sped-up footage of things being destroyed though, right?
Nay! Sped up footage of massive things being assembled.
Love a bit of time-lapse construction
The problem is it must go well with a Benny Hill song, because if it's fast and long enough, a Benny Hill song will play inside your head.
"Yakety Sax" (the Benny Hill song) pretty much goes with any sped up footage, so I think this problem solves itself :)
High speed refers to the shutter speed in a camera -- how quickly it can take frames. Slow motion footage is taken in a high speed camera. It's just a weird quirk of language.
Stupidly enough, I actually know this, and know it very well :(
I just took it as:
High speed | camera footage
i.e. camera footage, playing at high speed.
Instead of:
High speed camera | footage i.e. footage from a high speed camera
I am ashamed.
Not sure if unaware or trying to trap pedants
