Cheetahs on the Edge: Cheetahs Filmed at 1200 fps

submitted by direpickle

1 decade 1 year 4 months 4 weeks ago

Vimeo:

Cheetahs are the fastest runners on the planet. Combining the resources of National Geographic and the Cincinnati Zoo, and drawing on the skills of a Hollywood action movie crew, we documented these amazing cats in a way that’s never been done before.

Using a Phantom camera filming at 1200 frames per second while zooming beside a sprinting cheetah, the team captured every nuance of the cat’s movement as it reached top speeds of 60+ miles per hour.

The extraordinary footage that follows is a compilation of multiple runs by five cheetahs during three days of filming.

@lucky760 the thumbnail doesent match the thumbnail i chose above. seems to have cropped it.

It spends more time off the ground than on it. Perhaps flying would be a more apt description.
