Imagine a time when silky slow motion was all but impossible. In this video we trace the journey from dreaming of 24 fps on $4,000 cameras to Twixtor’s pixel‑bending hacks, through Canon and Sony DSLRs hitting 60 and 120 fps, all the way up to Phantom’s ultra‑high‑speed rigs and AI tools like Runway that make buttery slow motion a click away.
You’ll see
• Why 24 fps was the holy grail for amateurs
• How Twixtor used optical flow to fake slow motion (and its quirks)
• The rise of prosumer cameras giving us real 60–120 fps in‑body
• The Phantom VEO and the limits of high‑speed capture
• How AI now turns 30 fps into smooth slow motion automatically
Which era blew your mind the most? Let me know in the comments and subscribe for more deep dives into the tech that shapes our craft.
Also
I have a REALLY cool new tool for After Effects that will change your life.
