The Phantom Flex: Making Ordinary Stuff Look Awesome in Super Slow-Mo1

For a few members of the Videobred team, Easter weekend was spent with the Phantom Flex camera, capturing in slow motion things like eggs in mouse traps and Newkirk hitting a 300 pound block of ice with an axe. Over the weekend, they were able to capture a wide range of events in slow motion, such as a parade, archery, and break dancing.
Thanks to our friends at the Camera Department in Cincinnati, we were able to have a few days of hands-on training with the Phantom at Videobred and have some really cool footage to show for it.
Today, our VB Alum spotlight is on former intern Gina Durkan! Gina was with us during the summer of 2011 after she graduated from Western Kentucky with a degree in broadcasting and English. Now she’s working in Nashville for ABC/Lionsgate.

To see what Gina’s been up to as of late, check out her interview below:

On an otherwise forgettable December day at Videobred, the phone rang.
“Good morning, Videobred,” I answered. I expected to hear a familiar voice of one of our clients, but I was way off. I instead I heard the pre-recorded voice of Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater with “Pour Some Sugar On Me” by Def Leppard playing in the background.
