Wow Matthew - nice post 8)

It is interesting to actually 'see' what we always 'knew' they were doing.

And it does look darn cool :) Ahh technology... is there anything it can't do?

So will this insight help us build better instruments though? Not very likely but who cares when it looks so good :)

Cheers,

Jeremy.

I don't know guys, that's hard for me to believe. With all the computer techno possibilities these days, how do you know what's real?

But I would say, the guy with the guitar definitely needs to tighten up his tuning a bit!

Being the cynical bastard I am :shock: I do wonder why the strings are the only thing that appear to be moving in slow motion. High speed footage I have seen on other programs (Mythbusters et al) the whole shot is in slow motion when played at the normal 25 frames/second. Still interesting footage none the less. The second vid isn't all it seems too, the sixth string wobbles a hell of a lot and on one shot, taken from the headstock end, it's out of focus but the string can be seen wobbling violently where the nut should be.
This has been a party political broadcast on behalf of the Cynical Bastards Party. :lol:

it is not slow motion. It is filmed in real time with an extremely fast shutter speed, cutting out the blur you'd normally see. Like a strobe effect.

Thanks for that explanation Matthew,that would make sense when you think about it. I should think about these things a bit better before opening me Gob :oops:

Has this also been -

"...a party political broadcast on behalf of the Cynical Bastards Party." ?? :lol:

Besides which, there is an easy solution to this fake/real dilemma some of you seem to be having. One of you wealthy luthiers just pop down the camera store and pick up a Canon 5D Mk 2 capable of such feats of shutter flutter. :D

Do some more experimenting with it and post your results on here - we'll be mighty impressed... and we'll even try not to be too cynical. :P

Talk about cynical; I don't believe there's any such thing as a wealthy luthier. :lol:

Hi everone ,
If you pluck the E string on your guitar in front of an old television screen (not Plasma) nice and close the string will seem to be moving in slowmo.?
