I thought this was pretty cool. Watch a kernel of popcorn explode into a puffy piece of popcorn via a high speed color camera (5,400 fps)
This color high speed video(zoomed in from original 1K x 1K resolution sequence) shows a close up of popcorn popping on a hot plate. Recorded by the Schmitz family using the Photron SA1 slow motion video camera.
So that’s what happens to a kernel of popcorn! What did you think of the video?
That’s awesome. Love those high framerate cameras.
On a related note, I had a similar thing. But I think this was just shown in slow motion:

@Mike Impressive ad campaign with that video. I know there is a video compilation on YouTube somewhere that is pretty long, filled with slow mo videos of fast moving objects.
Speaking of high frame rates and high resolutions. I just made a quick post on the Gigapxl project. A project that uses cameras capable of producing giga pixel images.

It was started quite a few years back. Amazing technology!
