Slow Motion GUITAR Strings -2000/4000% slower

I've had several requests to film guitar strings in slow motion.
The most recent by KrzychozaxD.
Filmed at 600 and 1200 frames per second. (20 and 40 times slower than real time)

you should use higher shutter speed.

[taofledermaus]

@Keskusrikospoliisi It probably would have helped. I was just using indoor lighting so cranking up the shutterspeed with the limited light probably would have made it too dark.

[hermanessences]

Wait, does this camera record sound at an equally slow rate as well?

[taofledermaus]

@hermanessences  The camera doesn't record sound when operating in high speed mode.

I wonder if a violin has any visible vibration. Obviously if you plucked it but with a bow that would be interesting.

[taofledermaus]

@GENeric110100100 Ah, I bet there would be. I'd probably need a macro lens and I'm not sure if my camera would be fast enough to see the faster vibrations.

[trekkie1701e]

get a shot of the strings looking up the neck so you can see the wave travel

[ExpertOfSound]

Awesome!!!

It's weird because it isn't like a smooth vibration, it goes to the trough of the wave and then snaps to the top... repeat.

Thanks :D

You should do that to a subwoofer next!

[d4sUrm3l]

Yeah that would be great. I always wanted to see if there are visible wavepackets or if its more like a standing wave. A video of a hole vibrating string between it's fixation points would be great.

Still awesome work.

[PhobosDDeimos]

Don't like. Because the guitar doesn't even seem to be in tune, it's just metalstrings flapping around. You should play some chords or even melodies, oh, and harmonics, natural an false ones! That would be way more interesting to see, especially because you could really see intervalls by looking on how frequent the strings vibrate.

[mattyboyovadanet]

lol.. i could imagine strings in drop tunings...

[OneTakeJesus]

I've always wanted to see a cymbal being lathed in slow motion

[Barkeroni]

nice camera...POS guitar

[worldbeatguitar]

I just created a music video using a similar technique on a super large bariton 12-string. Awesome effect! Do a search for "Mike Salovich magic guitar strings" to find the video.

[TheAlmostGod888]

it looks untuned

[Baltam314]

@ExpertOfSound The strings are probably hitting the fretboard because he snapped them vertically like a noob.

[AdrienneNightingale]

I think it funny that your using a cheap guitar with a missing string for this.

[Keskusrikospoliisi]

@taofledermaus not a good reason =D then you should get more light. 1/8000 is good speed
