High Speed Filming
Capture stunning slow motion with Phantom cameras and precision motion control in Iceland.
High-speed filming captures action at extreme frame rates, producing dramatic slow-motion footage that reveals details invisible to the naked eye. This technique is used in Iceland for automotive commercials leveraging dramatic volcanic landscapes, outdoor sports and adventure campaigns, whale and Arctic wildlife sequences, and creative spots for brands drawn to Iceland's otherworldly locations featured in Interstellar, Prometheus, and Game of Thrones.
We source high-speed cameras from Reykjavik rental partners with specialized lighting and data workflows suited to Iceland's challenging conditions. Our team coordinates experienced operators at Saga Studios, Lava Studios, and RVK Studios — with productions eligible for the 25% Icelandic Film Production Cost Reimbursement incentive and access to Truenorth Post for seamless high-frame-rate finishing.

High Speed Expertise
What frame rates can you achieve?
Our Phantom cameras can capture up to 1,000+ fps at 4K resolution, with higher frame rates available at reduced resolutions. We'll recommend the optimal frame rate and resolution balance for your Icelandic commercial, sports, or documentary shoot.
What's the difference between Phantom camera models?
The Phantom Flex 4K offers the highest resolution at extreme speeds, while the VEO series provides excellent performance at a more accessible price point. We'll recommend the right camera based on your resolution, speed, and budget requirements.
Do you provide Bolt or motion control rigs?
Yes, we work with Bolt and similar high-speed robotic camera systems, typically sourced from Reykjavik and imported under ATA Carnet for specific productions. These are combined with high-speed cameras for Icelandic automotive and luxury brand campaigns.
What about lighting for high-speed filming?
High-speed cameras require significantly more light than standard filming. We design and supply flicker-free HMI and LED packages sized for your frame rate — essential for Iceland's variable conditions from summer midnight sun to winter darkness.
How much data does high-speed filming generate?
High-speed filming generates very large files — a single take can be many gigabytes. Our DIT services manage this data workflow with proper backup, organization, and delivery in your required formats, even from remote glacier and highland locations.
What applications are best for high-speed filming?
High-speed filming excels for liquid and splash photography, automotive commercials against dramatic landscapes, adventure sports sequences, wildlife capture, scientific documentation, and any subject where revealing hidden motion adds visual impact.
