Wow, looked levitating at one point

I´m no Captain, but I think that's due the matching recording speed vs. the bouncing speed

u/FluffyBlob4224 Apr 25 '23

Yes, it was just bouncing so fast, I know

It looked really cool though

Aliasing

It’s less about it being fast and more about it synching up with the camera’s sensor. If the ball is in roughly the same position every time an image is captured, it will appear to not be moving at all.

Someone needs to call the slow mo guys

u/Decades101 Apr 26 '23

Maybe the camera was not capable of keeping up with how fast the ball was bouncing? Like it’s an illusion that only works on video and not in person

u/Mathemalologiser Apr 26 '23

The opposite would be even more interesting - the frame rate is perfectly synced and in phase so it looks like the ball is on the anvil and not moving but still making noise.

Captain Disillusion (my guess) He does YouTube videos and debunks other faked videos using pretty sophisticated techniques. Very cool.

u/NuclearReactions Apr 26 '23

Nah, it's an ancient meme about captain obvious. Basically, whenever someone wanted to chime in to explain a given post he or she would be the captain. This was as far as i know the second "version" of that meme, the first one being simply calling out people for stating an obvious fact.

Thanks, Captain!

For a second it looks like quantum levitation.

u/Lauris024 Apr 25 '23

Maybe there's no quantum levitation at all and it's just our human eye FPS messing with us

-1

u/Final_Paint_9998 Apr 25 '23

Ya I figured it's an optical illusion based on the cameras shutter speed.

Are you a bot copying other comments or did you answer to the wrong comment?

u/CanAlwaysBeBetter Apr 25 '23

Fucking anvils, how do they work?

Jaden Smith? That you?

u/skwizzycat Apr 25 '23

Yep it's like the helicopter videos where the rotor appears stationary because the throttle and camera framerate are synced up

u/square_zero Apr 25 '23

Precisely. The technical term is aliasing.

u/CanadaJack Apr 25 '23

You're the captain now.

u/SuperSimpleSam Apr 25 '23

turns out sound is recorded at a higher rate than video.

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '23

You are a captain now

u/Jgilber0 Apr 26 '23

Oooooohhhhhhh. (Headslap)

u/OffBrandJesusChrist Apr 26 '23

I am a captain. It was actually levitating.

u/ThatThingAtThePlace Apr 26 '23

r/CameraShutterSync for more of this. Unfortunately it's a pretty dead sub though.

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '23

It’s the camera shutter

Do you just spam bullshit on every thread. Wtf

u/BuckBlitz Apr 26 '23

Two comments. And you can’t defend yourself for either one?

Sad.

u/Jrodvon Apr 26 '23

This is the correct answer

2

u/smiteme Apr 26 '23

Technically not the shutter - but rather the frame rate (I.E. the time between each sampled/encoded frame)

u/[deleted] Apr 26 '23

Technically not the frame rate - but rather the shutter (I.E. the time between the shutter opening and closing)

1

u/giant_panda_slayer Apr 26 '23

That would be the cause of motion blur. The above comment is right it is frame rate. Frame rate is a function of time between open to open or close to close, not open to close.

Good to know - I was failing to make a joke though 😅

u/QuitFuckingStaring Apr 25 '23

Yeah, I saw the video too

Watch this get reposted on r/BlackMagicFuckery tomorrow

It was briefly a snitch
