I just love how the bottoms stays in its place until the top hits hit.

Plus, the top of the slinky looks as if it is hanging from something.

aw man :(

[KirbyzDreamland]

yeah... thats stop motion...

Each frame of the 30fps video involved hanging the spring again and again, stabilizing it's oscillations, setting the shooting system to a new delay, etc - a whole day of work. The curtains were accidentally moved in the process, which demonstrates the approach. But you do see the correct shade of the falling spring :)

So then it was stop motion.

errr... if this is slow motion, why are the curtains in the background moving so much? looks more like stop motion to me.
