The psychedelically radical video above was shot with a $100,000 high-speed camera called the Typhoon HD4, capturing intricacies of ocean waves normally imperceivable to the human eye. Shot as a teaser for BBC's upcoming South Pacific series, the clip features surfer Dylan Longbottom in a 12-foot monster barrel.
