The Unexpected Beauty Of A Die Tossed On A Marble Surface Will Captivate And Hold The Attention Of Any Viewer

This incredible footage of a super slow motion roll of a die speaks of chance, risk and luck, and all of the concepts that accompany those themes. This is the kind of image that is a revelation when one sees it filmed at 1000 frames per second and played back at 30. To the naked eye it was a simple uneventful drop of the die,but here the die jumps and spins and hangs in the air in a dance with the beauty and grace of ballet. The footage, shot in HD, can be edited into other material, or stand alone with a narrative that could span numerous concepts.

Capture A Toss of The Dice With A Phantom HD High Speed Video Camera

Work with the Phantom HD camera requires light, and a lot of it! Even with five 2000 watt tungsten lights we needed to shoot this roll of the dice wide open, at our largest aperture. That means an extremely shallow depth of field, and even when dropped from only three inches high, the die tended to hop immediately out of frame. We literally had to roll the dice hundreds of times to get our shot.

Uses of Rolling Dice Motion Stock

Any product or service that can help minimize risk, deal with chance, or change our luck, can benefit from this footage. A roll of the dice is rich in metaphor and symbolism. Why gamble on ordinary footage when you can license stunning footage that is both conceptual and fascinating to see?
