We set all our personal equipment in the performance platform in order to capture our idea. | We set all our personal equipment in the performance platform in order to capture our idea. | ||

We had several problems, as the light was so fast, the high speed camera wasn't able to capture the whole movement. Every time we shot a video, it took us a long time to find the result. The speed of the Flash light was way faster than the high speed camera. What we learned in the process, is that the speed of the flashes strobes is < 1/1,000,000 second, thats less than one Millionth of a second | We had several problems, as the light was so fast, the high speed camera wasn't able to capture the whole movement.

The light comes out of the strobe in a higher potency in the first milliseconds and then graduates it's way until it is over. Like shown in the following image: | ||

This way, we would need a much faster camera to capture the whole process with more than just a couple of frames. After spending a whole morning doing this, with many different tries and objects, we gave up when we reached this conclusion. We needed something that could be capture in a 900fps rate. | |||
Final idea: | |||
Being Christmas time and having level 1 fireworks (not dangerous one that are also legal to purchase all year around) sold freely in the supermarkets, we decided to give it a go with the slow motion camera. For this, we came back to the lab at night, to capture most of the light we could. As we were going to work with fireworks, and these require a certain security protocol, we decided to take the camera outside, and call some of our friends to watch over the whole lab, camera, and computer. | |||
The result: | |||
We got some amazing shots with different movements of the different fireworks we had. Some were very unpredictable, but we managed to have the explosions far away from the lab and the camera, so it didn't represent any kind of problem or us. All fireworks behaved beautifly and we were able to capture their movement in a synchriniced motion. | |||
As the fireworks seemed to be dancing, so, we decided to edit a video were the images went along with the music. So, here is the final experiment: | |||
