About the Workshop:

Join filmmaker Tore Knos for a demonstration of the Phantom Flex4K high-speed camera.

If you haven’t heard of the Phantom Flex 4k, you’re in for a treat! The camera is known to be the ultimate tool for slow-motion capture: it shoots 938 fps in 4K (up to 10,000 in 480P!), producing mesmerizing footage. As you can imagine, it comes with a hefty price tag—$70k-$150k—so it has always been more rental-oriented. And it’s rare: it’s rumored that there are only a handful of these cameras in the New York area. The Phantom Flex 4k has been used by Fox News for slow-motion sportscasts; by scientists, to capture motion too fast for the eye to see; and by artist and filmmaker James Nares in The Street, among other projects.

In this workshop, which is presented in partnership with The Video Consortium (a creative community of the world’s leading video journalists and non-fiction filmmakers), Tore will cover a variety of topics including the fundamentals of high-speed photography, how to set-up and operate the camera, and the unique production and post-production workflows associated with the Phantom Flex4K.
