Superslomotio - Super Slow Motion HD

Arty experimentation with super slow motion using motion 4s optical flow.Optical Flow is a pretty technical subject, Super Slow Motion, Frame Blending on an average computer is something that is, well truly amazing. The science and expertise that have gone it to making this relatively hidden feature of Motion 4 is incredible. Say what you like about Apple they make and license great products and software and then run them on relatively run of the mill personal computers. Here's some background to optical flow, if your a geek you should read it. It's well interesting.

Optical flow or optic flow is the pattern of apparent motion of objects, surfaces, and edges in a visual scene caused by the relative motion between an observer (an eye or a camera) and the scene. The concept of optical flow was first studied in the 1940s and ultimately published by American psychologist James J. Gibson as part of his theory of affordance. Optical flow techniques such as motion detection, object segmentation, time-to-collision and focus of expansion calculations, motion compensated encoding, and stereo disparity measurement utilize this motion of the objects' surfaces and edges.
