Yeah i saw that, it was dope. But it seems like they could use it for the "peak" of the trick and then speed it back up again. It kind of reminded me of the matrix.

it had to have been at like 200 fps. every little droplet of water was perfectly clear it looked so sick.

I didnt catch it but, i wouldnt think it was 200fps. I think he uses an Arri SR2, soo he probably was shooting like 70 to 80 fps.

Can anyone start Tivoing that and uploading it for those that do not have Pull... normally I wouldn't ask for something like that if it were available to me, but the only cable provider I can use does not offer that channel.

NotoriousFilms, it just looked super clear and good when it was slowed way down.

regarding senorbuenos post, i hope alliance puts out a season dvd of pull cuz i missed an episoded and want to see what i missed. Any chances of this happening?

it was sick but wish they woulda showed last weeks because i was gone all last week and didnt see any reruns...maybe like a rerun of last week and then a new episode = 1hr of wakeboarding would be awesome!

I haven;t seen it but i'm guessing it looks the intro to the film yeah right from girl skateboards.

freerider4, same idea. i just like the way you see all the droplets from the spray hanging in the air.

The camera he was using for those shots was a digital computer-controlled camera that shoots over 1,000fps. I'm not sure what the framerate was he was shooting at for those shots, but I spoke to Justin about it a few weeks ago, and he was telling me about the difficulty of shooting with it... since there's no live preview or viewfinder. It's designed for industrial use where it would be fixed on a tripod pointed at a high speed object (assembly line checking, crash testing, etc). He does shoot a lot with 16mm, and also with the DVX100A... but those shots were not on 16mm or DV. They do show the camera and computer setup on Pull... for those of you who saw it.

There are digital cameras out there that can do 33,000fps (Olympus's i-SPEED), and likely faster.

33,000fps Thats INSANE!

yeah... they use them for watching bombs go off.

the camera that justin was using apparently shoots up to 10,000 frames per second. he said he is shooting the wake stuff at about 1,000 fps because if he went any higher you wouldnt be able to see much motion.

do the math...that's around 2/3 of a GIGABYTE for 4 seconds of video Shocked

High speed cameras are cool!

The slider pools in Utah looked like fun.. Cool

I recorded it on my DVR (not Tivo) last night but I have no idea how to get it on my comp to download. Any ideas?
i think theres a USB port on the DVR

I just went over to my friends and watched it, wow is not enough to descibe how cool those shots form that camera were. I mean they are IMAX cool, I look forward to seeing it in it's entirety. My friend said wait to see it on a HD tv.

Okay, I know I'm gonna get the idiot award, but I have never heard of "pull". Is this a show or a channel? If it's a show, what channel is it on? I have digital cable so I'm hoping I have it. Is it just a wakeboarding show? First answer my questions, then you can bash on me....ha

That entire episode was sick. Shane's new board is tight and Phil was absolutely killing it - that kid is too f-ing talented.
Gonna buy that new LF video for sure, and like someone else said, I sure hope Alliance is planning on releasing the entire season on DVD. I want to see the Tahiti episode again. Those guys were riding right next to the resort my wife and I stayed at on Morrea. I rode there too, but it was behind like a 12 foot outboard on an old school Eric Perez pro model that they had sitting in the corner of the resorts kayak rental shop. Laughing

I used to get it when you could still burn cards easily and cheaply.... Shocked

anybody know where you can find legit info on card "testing" without spending a ton of money?
