Paintball wars in slow motion #video

on September 13, 2011 by Martina Comments

A videogame style paintball match shot in one take with the Phantom Flex @ 1,000 fps. It isn’t exactly what I would call an “educational” clip but I think you’ll agree with me it’s a pretty cool video. Kudos to the director Saman Keshavarz and the rest of the crew for the amazing execution.
