I don’t know, it looks more like a freeze-frame from a high-speed camera’s output. It’s a way-simpler method than complicated nanosecond triggers. The cameras cost an arm and a leg, though. These sort of films are made to study collision behaviour, fractures, crack spreads, bullet ballistics, etc.

I was hoping for Al Queda, but these are cool, too...

I’d like to see a freeze-frame moment of impact photo of a size 13 Doc Marten hitting the backside of any GOP senator supporting shamnesty.

Yes, I was expecting to see Al Queda members go “splut”.

I’m jealous. I do 3d photography as a hobby (http://www.plano3dphotography.com) and I think these would be INCREDIBLE in 3d!
