Ladybug Flight From A Woman's Hand: Shot With A Phantom HD High Speed Video Camera At 1000 Frames Per Second

This slow motion video of a ladybug flying off of a woman's hands was captured with the Phantom HD High Speed Video camera shooting 1000 frames per second. We get a remarkable view of how the insect flies, a view not possible with the naked eye. This footage was created for motion stock. We are all familiar with the Ladybug Nursery Rhyme: Ladybug! Ladybug! Fly away home. Your house in on fire. And your children are all gone. All except one. And that's little Ann, For she crept under The frying pan. Who knows what creative uses this footage will find its way into. Certainly one probability centers around the importance of being prepared for disasters and taking care of your home and family.


Ladybug Slow Motion Video Capture

To capture this video we used a Phantom HD video camera with GVS 2XU 9000 software and hardware. Lighting consisted of 4 2000 watt tungsten lights mounted in a custom 4x4 foot softbox. The set-up was in David Fischer's San Francisco studio. Because the Phantom Camera continuously captures, we were able to trigger the camera as soon as the ladybug flew making it relatively easy to have the right timing. The concept was the idea of my associate Stephanie Roeser, and it was her hand that the ladybug flew from. The greatest difficulty was keeping her hand in the zone of focus while the ladybug wandered around until it decided to fly.


Using Ladybug Flight Video

This footage can be used for all kinds of applications from children's presentations to television commercials about preparedness and insurance issues, to online educational videos. The footage was captured at 1280x740 at 1000 frame a second with a playback rate of 30 frames per second.

Concept and filming by Stephanie D. Roeser.
