High Speed Filming

Here is how this works in practice. High-speed filming captures action at extreme frame rates to produce the dramatic slow motion that has become a signature look of Korean commercial work. The Phantom Flex 4K and the Phantom VEO series are the workhorse bodies on Samsung and LG smartphone launches, Hyundai and Kia automotive spots, K-beauty campaigns and the precision liquid and splash work that fills product cutdowns out of Seoul.

Here is the short of it. We source these cameras through Korean rental houses such as NAC Image Technology, KW Studio and Hello Pictures Korea, pairing them with Red Komodo high-speed bodies when shoots need a smaller form factor for car interiors or rigged set pieces. Ops arrive with on-set DIT, real-time playback monitors and the flicker-free HMI and LED packages that high frame rates demand, so directors can review takes at full resolution between setups without leaving the floor.

Here is the breakdown. Stages at Busan Cinema Studios, Art Service Studios in Paju, Seoul Studio Tricky. The LED volumes run by XON Studios provide the controlled lighting environments these cameras need. Our high-speed teams integrate cleanly with the Locus, Westworld and U5K Imageworks post pipelines that handle the resulting datasets.

Bolt and Milo motion-control rigs sit with the Phantom packages for repeatable robotic moves on K-beauty bottle pours, smartphone hinge reveals and tabletop automotive details, with tracking sync that locks the camera and product to the frame. We set up KOFIC paperwork to confirm Korea Location Incentive eligibility of up to thirty per cent for qualifying K-content productions. Our DIT crews manage the multi-terabyte daily transfers that 1000-frames-per-second 4K capture creates between Seoul, Busan and the post houses receiving the dailies.
