          That’s a very good point - one I perhaps wish I’d realised myself 20 minutes ago.

          [Edit] People also like sped-up footage of things being destroyed though, right?

            Nay! Sped up footage of massive things being assembled.

            The problem is it must go well with a Benny Hill song, because if it’s fast and long enough, a Benny Hill song will play inside your head.

              “Yakety Sax” (the Benny Hill song) pretty much goes with any sped up footage, so I think this problem solves itself :)

        High speed refers to the shutter speed in a camera – how quickly it can take frames. Slow motion footage is taken in a high speed camera. It’s just a weird quirk of language.

          Stupidly enough, I actually know this, and know it very well :(

          I just took it as:
          High speed | camera footage
          i.e. camera footage, playing at high speed.

          Instead of:
          High speed camera | footage i.e. footage from a high speed camera

          I am ashamed.
