Using a camera, strobes, and exploding
water balloons, you'll see how Chase
and his crew freeze ultra high-speed action in the studio. Watch the results of this process, combined with Photoshop compositing, to create final still images for Superfad's Kung Fu HD project.

  • Great video as always! 1 question about when you refer to shorter duration strobes any particular type of strobe? If you reduce the power on a strobe you get shorter bursts compared to full power correct?

  • Yes, strobes fired at a lower output have shorter flash duration (aka fire "faster"). No particular strobes...I'm using Profoto 7A, but same applies across the board.

  • Excellent work guys, what software did you use to remove the black from the water?

    cheers

  • Photoshop - using blend sliders.

  • at first I thought I forgot to stop itunes, but then I realised that actually NIN were the background music ; ) nice work, thanks for sharing

  • all of that setup and cleaning just for a few pictures, pro photographers are dedicated.

  • @miniteichman thanks, I appreciate it .. :)

  • @tamim4ever In photoshop layer styles, there is a section called "Blend If." this allows you to toggle a solid colour in the photo.

  • I really wish to know how did you isolate water from its background!

  • @achaser123 Can you do it with small flashes, like SB900?

  • @achaser123 i m using my bowens espirit 500 Monohead pair (plugged directly) and i m nt able to freeze water....does it necessarily needs a battery pack/generator to get that flash duration to freeze water?

  • nice

  • Diggin the NiN music and vid!
