Stunning BBC slo-mo HD footage using custom camera.

The BBC has already proven itself to be quite the source for some impressive HD images, but the network's Natural History Unit looks to have really outdone themselves for their forthcoming South Pacific documentary, which makes use of a modified, $100,000 TyphoonHD4 camera. Of course, those exact modifications appear to be a closely-kept secret, but it has apparently been outfitted with a special underwater housing designed by German high-speed camera expert Rudi Diesel, and the camera itself is able to shoot in high definition at 20 times the speed of a normal HD camera, which results in some pretty amazing super slow motion footage. You can get a taste of that after the break but, trust us, you'll want to head up the read link below to really get a sense of what this thing is capable of.

Looks fantastic.
If that's an indication of the standard of the photography in the documentary series about the South Pacific islands then I'm certainly looking forward to watching the first program on HD TV. (12 May 2009 20:00–21:00)

Some nice footage, but $100.000 for a camera.

That's about average for a low end movie camera. This is why most movie production companies hire camera rather than own them.
