High Speed Filming
Capture stunning slow motion with Phantom cameras and precision motion control in Canada.
High-speed filming captures action at extreme frame rates, producing dramatic slow-motion footage that reveals details invisible to the naked eye. This technique powers Canada's commercial sector across automotive campaigns, NHL hockey and winter sports analysis, product commercials, scientific visualization, and creative sequences — particularly in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal's hubs.
We source high-speed cameras from Canada's established rental houses with the specialized lighting and data workflows these shoots demand. Our team coordinates experienced operators across Pinewood Toronto Studios, Vancouver Film Studios, MELS Studios (Montreal), and Calgary Film Centre — with productions eligible for the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit (up to 25%) and provincial top-ups.

High Speed Expertise
What frame rates can you achieve?
Our Phantom cameras can capture up to 1,000+ fps at 4K resolution, with higher frame rates available at reduced resolutions. We'll recommend the optimal frame rate and resolution balance for your Canadian commercial, sports, or scientific shoot.
What's the difference between Phantom camera models?
The Phantom Flex 4K offers the highest resolution at extreme speeds, while the VEO series provides excellent performance at a more accessible price point. We'll recommend the right camera based on your resolution, speed, and budget requirements.
Do you provide Bolt or motion control rigs?
Yes, we work with Bolt and similar high-speed robotic camera systems through Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal rental partners. These are often combined with high-speed cameras for Canadian beverage commercials and automotive campaigns.
What about lighting for high-speed filming?
High-speed cameras require significantly more light than standard filming. We design and supply flicker-free HMI and LED packages sized for your frame rate — whether at Pinewood Toronto, Vancouver Film Studios, or on Canadian locations.
How much data does high-speed filming generate?
High-speed filming generates very large files — a single take can be many gigabytes. Our DIT services manage this data workflow with proper backup, organization, and delivery in your required formats.
What applications are best for high-speed filming?
High-speed filming excels for liquid and splash photography, product commercials, NHL hockey and winter sports sequences, automotive footage, scientific documentation, and any subject where revealing hidden motion adds visual impact.
